Travelogging: Travel Accessories

I used to never bring accessories on any sort of trip; I was always the one kid in giant tennis shoes/flip flops, Bermuda shorts, and t shirts (I'm cringing back at these memories) why I didn't realize this was not a good style? Not sure. Elaborating more on this topic, you see I've made many memories traveling to different places, but every time I see a picture from these trips I want to go back and time and tell Past-Natalie to add some style to her outfits! Therefore, in Italy I am trying to add many accessories and shoes to add style to my outfits while still being comfortable at the same time. When I look back on the Italy pictures in a few years I'll be able to say to myself "I remember loving that outfit, I wish I still had it!" instead of saying "WHAT WAS I WEARING?!"

I was wearing tennis shoes with this... why

When I entered high school, I changed how I dressed and put more effort into my appearance. I enjoy creating stylish outfits instead of going with the same shorts and t shirt every. single. day. So here are some of my favorite accessories and shoes for traveling!

Travel Accesories
{Italy Style}

Bubble Necklaces:

I don't actually own all these necklaces, but I frequently borrow my best friends bubble necklaces all the time (I should probably buy some for myself...) They add a pop of color to any traveling outfit while also being relatively cheap and sold at many stores. My friend gets these necklaces at Charlotte Russe for around $10.00, however they often have sales there so you can snag them for much less!

Combat Boots:

These boots are my absolute favorite shoes ever. They might not be very fancy, but they are so comfortable and I can wear them with almost anything: skirts, jeans, dresses, etc. Combat boots are also very durable- mine have gone through lots of wear and tear and they still are in tact! I got mine from Steve Madden for $59.95, but they can be found in many different stores for less (note: if you want your boots to last a long time, I suggest paying the extra and going for the Steve Madden boots over a cheaper pair that will fall apart faster) Especially when you're walking around an airport or touring your destination, you need a durable shoe that is also comfortable and this shoe is perfect for both!

Hair Bows:

I recently made a post on my love for hair bows: overall, if you have the right color, these little guys go with anything. They are perfect for adding style when you have to catch a early morning flight and don't feel like doing your hair :)

Scarves:

In the picture under the hair bows category, I can be seen wearing a white scarf. Which leads me to my next favorite accesory for traveling: scarves! I prefer infinity scarves because you can stretch them out, ball them up, stuff them in your suit case and they still are in one circular piece. My scarf is a lightweight fabric that still provides warmth but can be balled up and thrown into a carry on bag in seconds.

All these accessories are joining me on my trip; I'm getting so excited!

Countdown to Italy: 3 days
