I want to preface this post by saying that here in Southern Ontario as well as south of the border into the American East Coast we have had above seasonal temperatures. Quite hot and humid and actually more like the weather in the middle of summer. This should be noted when vacationing to these destinations any time soon. It is very important to pay attention to the weather up until the day of your trip because it can change at the drop of a hat and you want to make sure you have packed appropriately. Mother Nature is fighting back, and we shouldn’t be looking at historical trends in weather, but what is happening now.
I have been stuffy and sneezing like a fiend today and although the weather is hot, cold season is back in session and my little germies (kids) shared the gift of sickness with me. Bear with me if this doesn’t make sense, I’m blaming it on a mild fever 😉
First off; in the original post you will find all the pieces that I used to put these outfits together. I also have links to every piece under each outfit collage (top and bottom of post) for ease of finding. The fall packing list with accompanying outfits is for a Brazilian who is visiting New York, Boston, and Philadelphia in October for 16 days. Since she is coming from a warm climate I noted in the original post that bringing warmer pieces will be beneficial because it will feel colder here to her than it really is until she gets used to it.
I put together 24 outfits that will cover any occasion that may arise during the trip. Both the dark denim, and black pants are from H&M and are their Shaping Denim. I swear by these jeans and would live in them, but you do definitely need to size up because they fit small. I also think it is important to bring versatile pieces which is why last week and this week I included the tie-waist cardigan (last week was a black version). It can be left open to layer over pieces, but can also be belted and worn as a shirt. I also included a knit hat (or a toque as we Canadians call them) because in October while it may be nice during the day, it has the tendency to drop significantly at night so having a warm hat will be nice if touring around in the evening. Two pieces of advice: 1. when in doubt don’t pack it, and 2. wear layers and your harder to pack items for travel. They both will save space.
Right now (Thursday night) Tom is texting me about paperwork and Merle is watching her 40th episode of Peppa Pig, so I need to go figure shit out and get the kids in bed. Have a great weekend guys!
