Barcelona

Here I am at Parc Guell in Barcelona. It was a budget (as always) family trip with the hubby and two kids. We went to Paris, Barcelona and NY in 10 days with no luggage but just carry-ons for each of us. It was indeed a test of my ability to conjure up outfits from a few pieces of clothing, not just for me but for everyone else in the family. My solution, accessorize! I just couldn't leave behind my daughter's red beret which was passed on to her by her grandma. On a 7 year old, it's adorable, on an adult like me, touristy (especially in Paris). It felt like we were on "Amazing Race Family Edition", but such fun! After this trip, I feel like we can take the kids anywhere!

Top - Target
Vest - Zara (on sale!)
Pants - It's a mini houndstooth print that I got from the petite section at Kohl's
Scarf - 1 Euro from a street vendor
and my ever trusty gray Converse

  1. Love this ensemble! It looks so comfortable yet so chic! The green scarf was the perfect finishing touch -- it gave the outfit just the right pop of color! I would love to have 'touristy' pics of me in outfits like this as well! Thanks for the ideas! Keep 'em coming...
