Packing to travel abroad is challenging, especially when you’re prepping for below freezing temperatures. Well it used to be tricky, then Le Tote came around. I loved that I could customize my tote with the perfect layers, without having to do last minute shopping for clothing I would only wear once.
There were some things I knew before I started packing. First, I knew that leggings were my essential travel necessity, but I hated how boring they can be. Luckily I discovered these moto detailed DKNYC leggings on letote.com. My ultimate travel companion and in-flight OOTD had been totally upgraded. Now, my “flight pjs” could now be worn to dinner, hiking, or shopping around town. Obsessed.
I also loved being able to wear tights under these leggings when we were sledding! They were stretchy enough but still super thick, giving me the agility and warmth to fall off my sled at least 30 times.
The second thing I knew was that I needed the perfect cardigan. And for me that meant long, black, and super cozy. This Sam Edelman cardigan met all of my requirements and worked perfectly for layering with a jacket or tying around my waist from train ride to train ride around Europe.
The third thing I knew was it would be freezing and we were traveling to the highest peak in Germany. I had to come prepared, so I used tote customization to select this super soft faux fur scarf. I wore it almost everyday, I’m an outfit repeater and I’m not ashamed!
The final layering garment I packed from Le Tote was a lace up tunic from Free People. Lace up details are so on trend and I knew it would look great with a v-neck sweater. Plus I knew I’d have to wear a longsleeve garment under every sweater for warmth but still wanted to add a dose of style, this piece worked perfectly!
Last but seriously not least, I had to bring the perfect bag. When traveling with one carry on it’s important to have a “personal item” with plenty of extra stowage. Apart from the go-to travel essentials like headphones, my tote was filled with face wipes, eye masks, water and lotion for the plane. A girl’s gotta travel with all the necessities! I also loved that this tote worked as my day to day bag – I could store purchased items or layers, like my scarf, when it was too hot to wear inside at a cafe.
Going to Germany with my tote made traveling such a breeze. Plus not having to do laundry when I got back? Truly the most amazing thing, ever. Check out more travel photos below or take a peek at stonefoxstyle.com for more!
