Hi guys, I am jetting off to Munich, Germany this bank holiday to
visit my brother who lives there and am super excited.
Having been a couple of
times before, once by myself and again with my mum and dad, I can honestly say
it is one of my absolute favourite cities to visit. This time I am excited to
be going with my boyfriend Tom, who has never visited this beautiful city
before. I can’t wait to show him all the cool beer gardens, amazing views and
historical architecture Munich has to offer.
I have been super keen and already started packing. I need
to make sure what I pack is minimal but will last all weekend. Seeing as I
can only take hand luggage on the plane I need to be organised or I’ll end up
packing things I really don’t need. So I thought I’d share with you some tips on
packing for a short trip to Europe and how I would style up outfits when faced
with limited baggage allowance.
Day dresses and playsuits are the easiest to
pack and style as they are lightweight, cool and can easily be worn with or
without tights depending on the weather. They are also great to wear at night
if you haven’t got time to nip back to hotel and change. I am packing a few in
various prints and materials, this mulberry tartan skater dress is one I made
myself at the beginning of the year from a really simple sewing pattern. It’s
great as the material is durable but lightweight so can be worn all year round.
As well as day dresses packing a variety of tops that go
with bottoms is a good idea especially if you are going for a few days like
myself, then you have a variety to choose from. I am taking one jersey maxi
skirt that can be worn day or night and three tops that can be mixed and
matched depending on the temperature and time of day.
My denim jacket is perfect for this kind of trip. As it is
late summer and Munich is generally warmer than Britain, I think this lightweight
but stylish Topshop one is great..
