My Italian Fashion Experience and Inspiration

Not to long ago I posted what I packed in my carry-on suitcase for my trip to Italy. Today, I am sharing some of those actual outfits that I wore during the trip. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of every outfit but I have most of them. I hope you enjoy!

I have also included some of my fashion inspiration from the trip in the second portion of this post. Check it out!

Not only do I have my own fashion to share but I am also going to share with you all the fashion inspiration that I found while visiting the different cities I went to on my trip. My fashion inspiration comes from store windows, museums, and even from people watching.

Tasting my Way Through Italy

Not only is the fashion in Italy to die for, so is the food! I tasted wine, ate my fair share of pasta and pizza, and savored every gelato. In this post I thought it might be fun to show you all the different cuisine that I tried on my trip. Prepare to drool because the food is even more amazing than it looks. Buon Appetito!

Crop Wrap Shirt and Maxi Skirt Combo

The cropped shirt seems to be everywhere these days, so I decided to put a fun twist on the look with a wrap shirt. This shirt has the versatility that your summer wardrobe can't live without! You can wear it cropped like I did here, or layer it over a dress, bralette, tank, or bandeau.

This maxi skirt is also a great summer "go to" piece. It's comfortable and sassy without trying too hard. You can pair it with a fun top like the one shown or a simple t-shirt. A denim jacket is also a great third piece to add on as well.

In the looks below, I showed both my daytime casual version of this look and how easy it is to transition to nighttime dressy. This is probably one of my more sassy looks I have put together, but still leaves a little to the imagination.

Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions. Happy styling!
