Carry-on Packing List for Rome

Note: The images of this post disappeared when Polyvore shut down. Unfortunately they did so suddenly and I did not have time to salvage them. But I have a couple of newer versions of this post that can be found here, and here that are more up to date. Thanks 🙂 

I live in Toronto so that means cold winters. It hasn’t been that bad this year and I actually am one of the few who like winter, but there comes a time (usually in February) where you think, “I miss warm weather.” Don’t get me wrong. I really dislike the humid heat of our summers but I do miss being able to walk around without having to wear six layers of clothes and having my hood blown down every time I turn around. I want to take the girls bike riding to discover our new neighbourhood. I don’t even know if we have any parks in walking distance since we moved here during the cold of November. My February doldrums came slightly early this year and Roo my 10 year old and I have been reading about ancient Rome so I thought, “wouldn’t it be amazing to take a trip to Rome right now”. So I decided to indulge myself and make a packing list. I tried to make sure that everything (but the suitcase, watch, Kimono dress and pumps) were $50 or under including sale prices. I chose a darker palette of grey, black, and white, with blue and green jewel tone accent pieces. My list consists of 15 pieces, plus accessories and shoes. I was able to come up with 40 different outfits with options for more if you layer things. Everything should fit into a carry-on if you wear one of the outfits on the plane. The list of where you can find these items and prices are at the bottom.

  1. Love the outfits! Where is the teal dress from? I don’t see it listed below.

    • It’s from H&M as well. It is my go-to shop. When it doubt, it’s probably from there 😉 it looks like they only have the ivory colour left though because it’s on sale now. I’m not sure how well this link will work since I’m mobile, but here it is.
