look book: portlander

September 12, 2012

I'm going to do a post on my trip to Portland tomorrow but I thought I'd share one of my city-touring outfits. Matthew and I were only in Portland for 48 hours so we packed very lightly. The weather was warm for Portland, but I guess typical of their summers. The highs were around 80, but the lows were in the mid 50s. We'd leave the hotel and be a little cold, but by noon you were ready to shed some layers. And then it would cool off a lot in the evenings.
sweater Urban Outfitters, shorts Lulu*s {last summer}, shoes Nine West {similar}, purse Coach, watch Timex,
sunglasses Karen Walker

These are some of my key pieces for traveling:
insoles for your flats {saved me!}
a watch for keeping on schedule
a crossbody bag for easy, hands-free, shopping!
