5 pieces 4 ways

Since moving to Minneapolis I've been traveling much more than when I lived in Chicago. Sounds great, right? Well, I'm traveling for work a lot more...but due to a strict schedule this typically means I can't explore the area I am traveling too. On the other hand since this is the year of weddings (ahhh the beauty of getting older) I do get to enjoy traveling back to Chicago quite often.

Since I am on the road almost every week I have gotten pretty good at packing pieces that complement each other...meaning I try to pack clothes that create a number of outfits. 

Here are 5 of my favorite items with pictures to show you how I wear them. 

1. Blazer from Target 

2. Vegan "Leather" Jacket from Anthropologie 

3. White converse chucks

4. Teal top from Target

5. Blue Zara Dress

BB Dakota Maxi Skirt

I love my BB Dakota Lithia maxi and spring time is the perfect time to show it off. I've always had issues finding maxi's that were long enough and this one fits just right. The material of the skirt is silky which makes it easy to dress it up or down...I dressed it down with a loose fitting H&M linen cut off but then jazzed up the outfit with bright lips and a colorful clutch. 

Skirt: BB Dakota Lithia Maxi, Clutch:West Elm; Lipstick: Revlon Really Red Shade, Shirt: H&M

Paul Getty Museum - which was probably one of the most beautiful museums I've ever been to...check out the pictures below to get a sneak peak before you go see the museum for yourself.
