[Terje Io] decided to breathe new life into an old pen plotter — the CX6000 from C. Itoh, a Japanese business that made a number of printers for Apple in the 1980s. He keeps most of the framework, however the electronics get a major overhaul. The old motors are replaced, the controller as well as motor drivers are modernized utilizing a Raspberry Pi Pico as well as stepper motor drivers. After tending to other auxiliary electronics like the manage panel as well as limit switches, it’s time to offer with the firmware.

Original Controller Board

Updated Controller Board

Rather than reinvent the wheel, [Terje] sensibly developed upon existing jobs as well as refactored them for his application. G-Code processing is done by grblHAL, with an added mode to handle HPGL code. He customized the firmware from Motöri the Plotter project to parse HPGL, making his new CX6000+ bilingual.

We covered Motöri method back in 2009, as well as more just recently we composed about the Teensy Controller utilizing grblHAL, one of the 32-bit huge siblings of GRBL. have you ever brought back one of these old plotters? Or is it easier to just develop your own these days?

Thanks to Dealspotr for collaborating on this post. All opinions are my own.

When I was nine-years-old, my mother bought me a pair of knock-off Vans at Payless — the iconic slip-ons in two-tone blue. everybody on the playground was wearing them. as well as when I showed up with lookalikes, of program I got some lip from my classmates. (Snobby little buggers, right?)

That’s exactly how I learned this life lesson: Lookalikes as well as knock-offs have their place, however there are times when only the genuine offer will do.

These days, I don’t care much whether the kids authorize of my knock-off canvas shoes, however I wouldn’t attempt bring around a fake Kate Spade bag. as well as there’s no requirement to, either. In our digital age, there’s always a method to pay less than full price. integrate a sale with an online discount code, for example, as well as that coveted bag can be mine for a slighty spendy, however still tolerable price.

cameron street candace satchel, $378, kate spade new york

This is the bag I’m after. I don’t want to pay $378 for it, so I went on the hunt for kate spade coupon codes. Here’s exactly how it went down.

Email Me My Code

If you are new to kate spade new york, the simplest method to get a discount is to indication up for emails. When you go to katespade.com, you ought to get a pop-up invite that looks like this:

15% off plus totally free shipping is a good deal. That takes the cost of my $378 satchel down to about $320. I might stash $75 a month as well as have that bag paid for by December. pleased holidays to me!!

So that’s a workable plan for your very first kate spade purchase, however what happens next? when you utilize your 15% sign-up perk, are you relegated to full-price for all of time? Well, to response that question, let’s do some digging.

Googling for Discounts

My go-to for coupons as well as discounts is DealSpotr. I generally don’t even bother with Googling for codes anymore, since it’s typically a waste of time. however for the benefit of research, I’ll go that path as well as see what turns up.

The preliminary search results for ‘kate spade coupon code’ really do look promising:

Right away, my eyes go to the second listing above that mentions a 30% discount with code GOLDEN. I click over to my cart with the satchel in it as well as try to snag that 30% off. Denied:

OK, so there should be some terms as well as conditions somewhere stating exactly how to utilize that code, however it’s clearly not a sitewide deal.

There are a number of much more avenues to try, though, most of which are coupon sites like Coupons.com, RetailMeNot as well as CouponCabin.

Coupons.com

Coupons.com, according to its Google listing, promises up to 60% kate spade. I like the noise of that. however when I click with to the site, I don’t see anything other than what I already know. The 15% off I got for subscribing to emails is listed, however it links to the email sign-up page. So if I’ve already signed up (which I have), that discount isn’t offered to me. The GOLDEN code is listed also, however this only applies to sale items. as well as that 60% mentioned in the Google listing? Here’s what that looks like:

All this means is that some items on the kate spade website are already marked down to 60% off. That’s not terribly helpful to me, since I’ve already been to the site as well as browsed the sale items. as well as the bag I want isn’t on sale. thanks Coupons.com. You just wasted my time.

RetailMeNot

RetailMeNot is a big player in the online discount game, so I did expect to discover something much more there. Alas, no. This site had essentially the exact same stuff as Coupons.com, plus a few additional sale notifications which are already listed on the kate spade website.

CouponCabin

CouponCabin’s kate spade page looks fascinating at first. The exact same discounts are listed as on the other two sites, however there’s one much more that stands out: an exclusive 15% bonus on everything. A look at the fine print reveals that this is a rebate paid by CouponCabin after you make your purchase, as well as the maximum money back is $20. On a $378 bag, the $20 ends up being about 5% off instead of 15%.

At this point, you may be considering setting up a new email account as well as re-subscribing to kate spade to get one more 15% off code. The things we do to save a few bucks, right?

Dealspotr

I’ve gone hunting for coupon codes many, numerous times, as well as it practically always turns out the exact same way. I can indication up for emails to get a single-use code as well as then I’m pouring over coupon sites that just don’t have numerous real, usable discount offerings. That’s precisely why I’m such a fan of Dealspotr. Yes, Dealspotr has all the exact same codes you’ll discover on other sites. however Dealspotr likewise has some distinct features that provide me gain access to to deals I can’t discover elsewhere.

Single-use codes. You understand that 15% coupon you get when you indication up for kate spade emails? That’s a single-use code, implying when you utilize it, it doesn’t work anymore. Dealspotr allows its members to upload single-use codes, while other coupon sides don’t. Yes, the code can only be utilized by one person, however Dealspotr typically has numerous posted at one time.

Just now, I counted 12 single-use, 15% off promo codes on Dealspotr. That means I can purchase that satchel as well as perhaps one more one next year without worrying about losing my precious 15% off.

Third-party codes. In addition to the single-use codes for kate spade, Dealspotr likewise has third-party codes. These are codes for other retailers that offer kate spade products. An example is a offer for 20% off your kate spade purchase from Belk. I did not see this type of offer anywhere on the other coupon sites.

exactly how to wear the bomber jacket?

Posted by Aloïs Guinut on Saturday, April 23, 2016 · 14 Comments 

The bomber jacket is just ideal for spring.

Warm sufficient yet not as well much, as well as offered in an endless panel of colors as well as embellishments.

For the title, I chose the word “bomber”jacket, since this is exactly how most people call it in 2016.

Yet some other may call it a “varsity jacket”

Let’s have a look at their definitions.

Bomber jacket: according to Wikipédia, the bomber jacket was very first designed for the United Air force pilots (indeed genuine “bomber” people…). It had to be solid yet light as well as comfortable. This nylon coat, replaced the much heavier former coats.

It has a zipper, elasticated banded hems around the wrists as well as waist and a rounded shape

Varsity jacket: it is worn by students to represent their institution as well as team pride. The material is casual: it can be boiled wool, jersey or nylon.

The body of the jacket is in the school’s main color as well as the arms are in the school’s secondary color. Some patches representing the institution letters as well as award may be embroidered on the jacket.

Its shape is similar to the bomber jacket. Though typically less voluminous. It is typically closed with snap buttons.

Therefore, most of what we see  in the stores nowadays are neither genuine bomber or varsity jackets however are inspired by both.

This comeback is not a new thing: it started in 2011 when Tisci included some in his A/W collection for Givenchy.

The exact same year, the film Drive, starring a hot Ryan Gosling in a shiny bomber jacket, became cult.

Bomber jackets never truly left fashion ever since.

We had wonderful flower printed ones, varsity jackets like ones, transparent ones, as well as now satin richly embroidered ones just like… in Drive however 5 years after!

They were noticed on Saint Laurent as well as Gucci catwalks amongst other.

Gucci

Saint Laurent homme

And you can discover them absolutely everywhere.

I bought my very first one in september 2015: a champagne satin Gerald Darel embroidered with pastel flowers for 5€ on a lawn sale (I suggest lawn sales in St Germain des prés, chic parisiennes from Rive gauche have great deals of stuffs in their closets). It is most likely is from the eighties as well as looks precisely that the ones that you might purchase nowadays. Fashion’s never ending circle…

Think of second hand as well as vintage stores, they may have what you are looking for.

I. exactly how to select the bomber?

As I explained the bomber is simply a shape.

So you can select every color, every material as well as every pattern.

The option of the shape has much more consequences.

A. Oversize bomber

This is the overcool method to wear it best now.

Rihanna likes to hide her hands in it… however if you are not Rihanna, you’ll just look dumb (even if you are  actually).

I guidance you to select a bomber that stops just below your bottom as well as sits low on your wrists like in the Saint Laurent show.

Stopping at the largest point of your hips is likewise a great option.

B. Fitted bomber

This is likewise cool, contemporary as well as less risky to style.

The waistline can stop at your waist to the top of your hip bones.

II. exactly how to style the bomber? 

I like eccentric bombers since they can make any type of boring outfit look fashionable.

I think, that, if you select a statement bomber, you do not requirement to make much much more effort actually.

A. What bottom? 

The bomber has a round shape.

It always looks good when you balance it with a tight bottom.

Skinnies

Jeanne Damas

Fitted pants

The comeback of the hip hugging yet not so slim jeans such as the Levis 501 is a great match for the bomber jacket.

Julia Sarr-Jamois

Tight mini-skirts or dresses

Pencil skirts or dresses

Tight mini-shorts

Tokyobahnbao

Flare pants

Flare pants are tight on the hips, so they do the balance

Boyfriend jeans

Boyfriend jeans are really worn extremely low on the hips as well as for that reason produce no volume on the hips.

I suggest to match them with a tight bomber jacket.

Otherwise, I guidance to add heels (except if you are already tall as well as slender).

Pauline Fashionblog

Fluid mini-skirts as well as dresses

Yes they produce volume, however your bare legs do the contrast.

You can select either a tight or an oversize jacket

Saint Laurent

Flounces as well as pleats are an option.

Fluid midi or long skirts as well as dresses

As seen on the Gucci runway, this is extremely tricky in terms of proportions.

The safest method is to choose a extremely tight bomber as well as to close it it order to define your waist.

Beware of A-line!

A-line skirts, culotte pants, harem pants, bubble skirts… as well as anything that creates a rigid volumedirectly on the hips.

If worn opened the bomber jacket acquires a triangle opening on the front which makes you look larger. (Proof that the outfit was guilty as well as not the girl, right here she is with something flattering). Even if you are Blake L the match does not works.

If worn closed the bomber jacket modifies the shape of those bottoms as well as produce unwanted pleats.

You can handle the mix if you wear a tight bomber which waist meets the waist of your A-line skirt.

B. What underneath? 

Anything which has a collar that does not produce any type of fuss where the collar of the bomber sits.

Button-ups are typically a poor option (same bomber jacket, great choice).

Basic T-shirts as well as tops

When you have no concept what to wear, pic a fundamental as well as all will be fine.

Tiphaine Augusto

Basic sweater

Same as above.

India

Romantic top

To contrast with the bomber sporty DNA. thanks Isabel for the style lesson.

Isabel Marant

Be creative, discover some new matchs.

C. What shoes?

I believe you can wear the bomber jacket with any type of shoes you may fancy.

Here are some options.

Sneakers

The bomber is sporty, sneakers are sporty, this is easy, everybody is happy

Dakota Johnson

Rock boots 

Make you look like a poor woman in a great way.

Violaine Olga Madeleine

Sexy heels

Nicely spices the sporty DNA of the bomber.

Barbara Martelo

Fancy heels

Same as above.

Collage vintage

III. Complementary questions

A. Do I wear it opened or closed?

As seen above, both work.

B. With a scarf? 

Well, they’ll interfer with the collar a bit, however I choose to stay warm if needed.

I’ll pick a sixties tight scarf that reveals the collar underneath or a huge scarf that hides it completely.

IV. My bomber jacket selection

2018 updates:

You have a excellent choice of them at Superdry, check them out here

OR: check thrift stores!

We are back with a quick poll, an update to Kate’s Calendar as well as then a look at Russell as well as Bromley’s autumn/winter 2018 collection.

Late last week I had an email asking “why not do a poll on Kate’s looks since she came back from maternity leave?” I believed about it as well as quickly looked at the styles we’ve seen since October as well as thought, “Why not, indeed?” It’s almost an insta-poll, quick to look at as well as vote on. I am only including the daywear/semi-formal dresses, eliminating the two casual ensembles as well as the gown from the state dinner, they just didn’t feel like a great fit with the other four dresses.

The very first gown the Duchess wore after maternity leave was an Emilia Wickstead a-line crepe style, seen when William as well as Kate attended a mental health and wellness summit in early October.  Crafted of a mid-weight wool, the gown features a boat neckline, fitted bodice with front as well as back darts, full skirt, self-belt as well as back zipper. The Duchess initially wore the gown in July 2017.

The next gown we saw Kate wear was an Erdem style for an engagement at the V&A, her very first as the museum’s patron. The gown was the Erdem Iman, from the designer’s S/S 2018 collection. Made in a bouclé tweed in the Prince of Wales check pattern, the gown showcased an asymmetric as well as layered off-the-shoulder design, with a broad vee in the back.

For the October 12th wedding event of Princess Eugenie as well as Jack Brooksbank, the Duchess chose a familiar style in a new fabric. Her Alexander McQueen gown was extremely similar to her 2017 Trooping the Colour dress.  The gown featured a fitted bodice with pleats at the neckline, paper bag waist, peaked, gathered shoulders as well as a full, pleated skirt.  

Our final frock is the Jenny Packham blue gown worn just last week to the worldwide war Museum. It is a traditional sheath with peaked shoulders, subtly flared bracelet-length sleeves, a self-belt, as well as that wonderful collar detail with lapels front as well as back, as well as a vee dip at the back. It was very first worn for the Cambridge family’s arrival in Canada in September 2016.

We’re trying something new with this poll, several option answers. That’s something that is requested with every batch of polls we do, as well as it seems a great time to provide it a go, as well as we can see exactly how we all like it…or don’t. (I never truly understand with some of this stuff, as well as try it on a wing as well as prayer that it will function as hoped!) We can vote for up to three dresses. Unfortunately, the software application doesn’t enable ranking of choices in order of exactly how much we like them, something I believe many readers would prefer. (I will look into other options as well as see what is offered for this kind of thing before our year-end polls.)

OCT 10: Check Erdem Iman Dress, V&A museum  45.2%  (3,190 votes)

new years eve makeup inspirations

Posted by Aloïs Guinut on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 · 3 Comments 

Even if the french girl, as well as even a lot more the parisian girl, says new year’s eve is the WORST “soirée” of the year as well as that they are just going to watch a motion picture hidden in their bed sipping a glass of wine, they really always end up going to some kind of celebration as well as even some are conformist sufficient to gown as if it was the 31st ( of december is implied. French idiom), but…oh wait, it is indeed!

And even for that, parisian girls can be rather boring as well as gown extremely just cause dressing for event is so overrated…

But well, if, like me, they are just dying to have an event to “sortir le grand jeu” (translation “pull out all the stops” sounds weird), they are gonna gown both sexy, fun as well as chic as I showed you like year in my post exactly how to gown for a party.

And they likewise are gonna have a lot more fun with their makeup than usual.

So, even if I am no makeup pro, I am gonna provide you some tips on exactly how to do a celebration makeup that is both outstanding as well as classy.

First what you must avoid:

– as well much shine: only one function of your face shall shine. Lips, eyes, even cheekbones however now more, you are no ice skater.

– do not overdo the shading, the result looks not natural at all, i like when makeup is applied in a a lot more delicate way.

– I like color however in a subtle way. Do not utilize a lot more than one bright color in big amount or you’ll look like a parrot

1. Eyes

A. A liner that rocks

How to apply it?

As routine liner. then add only mascara. No eyeshadow that would ruin the impact of your graphic line.

You can thicken your brow. So Cara 2014. No more.

– Metallic liner

What do I wear with it?

A best complexion.  Burgundy lips are best with gold liner. bright red or petal pink with silver liner.

No glittery or metallic top with it.

– Hypnotic color

What to wear with it?

A best complexion as usual.

If you are going for dark chilly shades (blue, green), try the second color on the lips.

Burgundy with blue or raspberry with green.

On top, you must not be wearing the exact same color as your liner.

If you are already wearing two colors on your face, I encourage you to go for a neutral top.

– Neon

What to wear with it?

Perfect as well as supernatural complexion. No orange please!

Silver looks excellent with neon either in the earring, the clothes, the accessories or the nails.

Regarding clothes, stick with neutrals or pastels. Be pop!

– Glitter liner

Cheek me out

(do you notice that the eyeshadow she added does not truly fit the eyeliner?)

What to wear with it?

No glitters either on the face or in the outfit.

Except for accessories or nailpolish.

The skirt or pants can radiate if it is a different kind of radiate (no matchy matchy glitz).

B. Smokey eye

How do you do it?

With tutorials dear My fav? Lisa Eldrige who always stays chic.

You can work it with taupe shades just like her. incredibly chic for everyone, however likewise with blacks, purples, or deep blues.

Don’t like the bright shade though, I believe they make you look like a barbie.

C. What color for your eyes

Everyone can wear whatever is normally what I state however when it comes to eye makeup it is true that some shades make your eye color stand out a lot more than others.

– eco-friendly eyes: try violet liner, purple smokey (avoid green).

– Blue eyes: attempt gold liner or shades (avoid blue as well as other chilly colors)

– Hazelnut eyes: try eco-friendly or gold liner, taupe, navy blue or purple smokey

– Dark eyes: try copper or red liner, neon eco-friendly as well as dark or gold smokey eyes.

2. Lips

A. Glitter lips

We said it’s celebration time didn’t we?

How do we do it?

Just put some creamy lipstick as well as add loose glitter on top either with the finger or with a brush. tap carefully all over the lips.

What to wear it with?

Perfect complexion just a bit of mascara, some eye liner if you want as well as even a smokey however nothing shiny.

No glitters or lamé as a top. Not to much glitter in your outfit.

B. statement lips

– bright red

Chanel pirate (one of mines)

With such a bright color, like wearing softer colors near your face.

I likewise encourage you to prevent eco-friendly or gold as a top cause you might look like the Christmas tree.

If your lips are plump, skip the eye makeup (except mascara).

I like the little black gown with this shade, however that is extremely traditional

– incredibly dark

Very sexy!

It makes pale outfits look a lot more rock, dark outfit look mysterious as well as glitter outfits look classy.

Gold as well as silver are just remarkable with it either as makeup or outfit.

– Neon

At Jil Sander

Wear it matte otherwise it is swiftly tacky.

Mix with minimal makeup as well as neutral outfit (no barbie colors in it).

C. What color for me?

Match your lipstick with your outfit however do not bother as well much about your complexion.

With a dark outfit: flashy for a color pop or dark for a advanced look.

With a pale outfit: a dark color for allure as well as a flashy one for a funky style

With a shiny outfit: no glitter lipstick

Ready for tomorrow?

It’s been a while since clothes were employed rather so strategically as well as consistently to send an unspoken, however likewise unmistakable, message. The effect was refreshing.

From the moment they stepped off the plane, the Duke as well as Duchess (O.K., mainly the Duchess, however he played his part too) signaled their intent to enable the quadrillion pictures taken of them to speak louder than the words they uttered mainly behind closed doors. Their clothes made silent statements cross-border respect, cultural understanding as well as outreach. No detail, or earring, was overlooked.

The Duchess wore Catherine Walker.

Back to Ms. Friedman’s column:

Witness the aquamarine-to-silver draped-neck gown by Catherine Walker with matching pants, a bridge between a tea gown as well as a shalwar kameez, which the Duchess wore to deplane at Nur Khan airbase on Monday.

Witness the jade-green A-line jacket by Ms. Walker worn over white pants by Ms. Khan, which the Duchess donned to satisfy the prime minister, an embroidered dupatta tossed over her shoulder.

And from Bethan Holt, The Telegraph’s fashion news as well as features director, in this column titled “Diplomacy as well as glamour: why the Duchess of Cambridge’s Pakistan tour wardrobe was her best ever.” 

…on this week’s tour to Pakistan, Kate has shown that her new style confidence is no fickle attempt to keep up in the influencer stakes, however a meaningful recognition that her garments choices are incredibly powerful messaging tools. Indeed, the duchess’s willingness to experiment in the UK has translated into her boldest tour style strategy yet over the past five days.

On almost every engagement, the duchess has paid tribute to Pakistani dress, wearing different variations of traditional outfits as well as incorporating clever national symbols.

“The shalwar kameez with dupatta is not currently the most fashionable option as per present Pakistani fashion trends,” said Moiz.

clothes tsundoku

Posted by Aloïs Guinut on Monday, February 8, 2021 · 14 Comments 

In japanese, tsundoku means creating piles of book you won’t read.

After years of visiting women’s closets I can affirm women do the exact same with their clothes.

How many times have I seen wardrobe full of wonderful high heeled shoes whilst the only daily pair of boots was worn to death.

How many tops with the label on, still waiting for their maybe-maybe-not owner to choose whether they shall be adopted or returned to the shop (even though the 30 days limit was long expired, however oh well, perhaps I can resell them much better with the label on isn’t it?).

How many dresses for when I will decrease the pounds?

Some tsundokus can be explained: you bought clothes for a dream life instead of your genuine one…
But what about the ones you do not even understand?

What is this about this top that makes it so unwearable? Is it the color? The shape? The boring ironing that has to be done?

Sometimes, somebody will talk about this book that had been lingering on your shelf as well as make you want to checked out it for real. You will strike the dust as well as get it out of the tsundoku zone. however most will keep lingering.

Same for clothes. It may occur that you encounter a gorgeous woman, sporting a corduroy jacket like the one you have never worn in a method that makes you want to copy it. then you try as well as boom, the jacket it out of the tsundoku limbo.

But sometimes you get home, you try, and… still doesn’t work. Well the simple response may be it’s not your style. You may love it on somebody else as well as not be comfortable wearing it yourself. Thats’ ok.

One of the function of my task right here as a writer as well as as a wardrobe stylist is to make the most out of the clothes you own. likewise meaning discovering purposes for the ones you never wear. perhaps by styling down a gown with a jumper or discovering the color match you were lacking.

But sometimes there is nothing you can do as well as it’s time to let the clothes go. If you do not feel comfortable in the red beret your sibling gave you then… you won’t feel great in it no matter exactly how I style it.

In my own bookshelf tsundoku I notice a great deal of books that were offered to me.

This likewise works in closet tsundokus.

Sometimes it’s just our huge ambitions that get toned down when at home. lastly reading Ulysses James Joyces seems like a grand job when in the bookstore however when house there’s always much better to do. Likewise, getting this timeless trench coat sounds fantastic however when house it doesn’t feel like it belongs to you.

Buy clothes for the person you are as well as the life you live. sure a pair of Louboutins is great, however wouldn’t it be even much better if your daily shoes were just as stunning?

As a personal stylist, I am rather smart in my own clothes purchase as well as never do tsundokus. however is wearing something when sufficient to not be a tsundoku? After all it’s like reading just the very first pages of a book.

I must confess that I own a pair of glamourous high heeled pumps that I wore only once. The high end Pigalle shop as well as expertly crafted shoes sold me dream. They were on sales. I for the dream house as well as now the dream is sitting on the shelf.

Sometimes you like the concept of a book or a piece of clothing… however the thing itself is not meant for you to use.

And you? tell me about those clothes you bought however never wore in the comments.

If you like to discuss, comply with me on Instagram where I have a great deal going on in the stories.

Dear budget Fashionista,

Could you post a topic on the newsletter about suggestions for a long weekend travel wardrobe?  I seem to run into the same problem every time I prepare for vacation—how to pack to look chic, but also be comfortable. I tend to do a lot of walking while on vacation. I want to look chic, which is tough to do when you are hobbling around because your feet are killing you. Please help—I’m heading to Paris in a few weeks and would like to pack an affordable, fashionable, and comfortable travel wardrobe for once.

Help!Fashion Traveler

How to Pack for Long Weekend

Dear fashion Traveler,

I’m a frequent traveler as well (especially this summer). Here’s a list of basic things I bring when going on a long weekend trip.

A pashmina or pashmina like wrap that can fold easily into a tote bag or purse. These wraps are best for cold airplanes and amazing nights

A pair of flats.  Isaac Mizrahi at Target, Aerosoles, all make comfortable, stylish shoes without breaking the bank.
A pair of comfy heels from Aerosoles– these are the best walking/heel shoes around and they’re cute. get them in black so you’ll be able to wear it again and again
Rayon blend black pants that don’t wrinkle.
2-3 chic t-shirts, in a variety of colors, with a bit spandex Lycra content. These t-shirts are easy to pack and don’t wrinkle.
A stylish large bag, tote, satchel or hobo that can double as an extra bag for any souvenirs or purchases
Pair of jeans with a hint of spandex. For some reason, I seem to increase a size whenever I travel, especially cross country
A Jersey Knit dress that doesn’t wrinkle. Wear with flats during the day—with the pashmina and heels at night
Umbrella—so very important
A pair of plastic thongs you can get from Old Navy for 2 for $5. even if you’re not going to beach, you never know when you might need these

For longer trips (1 week or more), build on the list above. instead of just one pair of jeans, bring two. always make sure you have a 2 shirts to every pair of pants ratio. You might always want to throw in a a lot more casual dress as well. The reason why I focus on dresses when traveling is that they’re instant outfits—just add jewelry and shoes and you’re ready to go—and you can dress them up or down.
