My Un-Fancy Project or How I packed for New York ♥ Mon projet Un-Fancy ou comment j'ai fait ma valise pour New York


Nécessité fait loi. 
C'est ce principe, presque exotique au vu de l'exubérance de ma garde robe, dont je me suis inspirée afin de boucler ma valise. 
Comme vous avez pu le constater, sur Instagram notamment, je me trouve actuellement à New York, et, préparer, vestimentairement parlant, un séjour de 45 jours demandait un minimum de réflexion au préalable. C'est ainsi que, un peu à la manière de la blogueuse un-Fancy, j'ai dû me résoudre à faire un choix rigoureux afin de n'emporter qu'un minimum de vêtements et d'aboutir ainsi à une sorte de garde robe capsule. 
La démarche minimaliste est très éloignée de ma personnalité et de mes envies en terme de mode mais elle a le mérite de faire réfléchir...
Voici donc, illustré en images, le contenu de ma valise:
  • deux vestes, dont un kimono;
  • un pull;
  • un t-shirt rayé;
  • six robes;
  • une dizaine de débardeurs , dont trois clairs, un rayé, deux gris taupés et quatre noirs;
  • trois jupes, deux midi et une minijupe en jean;
  • un jean slim;
  • quatre shorts, deux en jean, un imprimé et un modèle à pompons noir;
  • deux paires de chaussures, mes sandales plates léopard et mes talons bordeaux.
Le dernier collage, quant à lui, montre mes acquisitions sur place, à savoir, une paire de baskets que je compte bientôt mettre à l'épreuve de la salle de sport, une paire d'espadrilles Rebecca Minkoff et un sac de la même créatrice pour laquelle j'ai régulièrement des coups de cœur...
Et vous? 
Qu'auriez-vous emporté? 
Comment vous-y prenez-vous pour préparer votre valise?
Je vous souhaite un excellent début de semaine!



Necessity makes the rules.

It's this almost exotic principle - given my exuberant wardrobe - that inspired me when packing.
As you may know if you follow me on Instagram, I'm currently in New York, and preparing my clothes for a 45 day stay required some beforehand thinking.
So, quite like the blogger behind Un-Fancy, I had to make the right choices and only bring the minimum amount of clothes like for a sort of capsule wardrobe.
This less is more approach couldn't be further removed from my personality and my fashion cravings but at least it gave me pause for thought...
Here are the pictures of what I brought with me:
  • two jackets, including a kimono;
  • a sweatshirt;
  • a striped tee;
  • six dresses;
  • ten tank tops - three light, one striped, two taupe grey and four black ones;
  • three skirts, - two midi and a miniskirt;
  • a pair of skinny jeans;
  • four shorts - two denim, one printed and my tasseled black ones
  • two pairs of shoes - my leo flats and burgundy heeled booties. 
In the last collage, you can see what I've bought here, namely a pair of sneakers that I plan to hit a local gym with very soon, a pair of Rebecca Minkoff espadrilles and a bag by the same designer whom I happen to have crushes for on a regular basis...
What about you?
What would you bring with you?
How do you pack your suitcase?
I wish you an excellent start of the week!

  2. Oh, wow! I never bring so many clothes. Always bring something comfortable to walk around, something to go out and something to have fresh to go back home!

  10. Sometimes I'm organized when it comes to packaging, but sometimes when I don't have time, I just put in random things I like...but it is much better to think about what we need and try to pack clothes that can be worn in more than one way.

  50. Perso, j'aime voyager léger et emmener le minimum... mais j'avoue que je ne suis jamais partie aussi longtemps ;) Ta valise m'a l'air très bien "réfléchie". Moi je capitalise vraiment sur des choses assez simples : tout doit aller avec tout et j'emmène pas mal de chaussures pour en changer au cours de la journée. Je voyage léger aussi car j'aime ramener des choses !! Alors, forcément NY !! Les baskets ont l'air très sympas (pas encore vues sur Insta, je pense). En tout cas, profite bien de ton séjour : c'est une chance de passer autant de temps là-bas !! Plein de bisous... ou plutôt : a lot of kisses !! http://valeriesdays.blogspot.fr/
