the calm before the very exciting storm

i hate to pack. not so much hate, as dread. dread to pack. i am the most anxious person about leaving something, anything behind. and when you are going to PARIS for 10 days, that is a lot of stuff to be anxious about.

anyways, tonight i was packing. and decided to try a new outfit. the jury is still out on this one, but i like trying new stuff. i'm taking it, so we'll see if it gets any face time on the streets of the city of love.

cardigan: forever 21, dress: old navy, scarf/belt: h&m, jeans: old navy, boots: charlotte rousse
please ignore the hair and the messy room. both are result of said packing.

p.s. in my efforts to get myself ready for france, i decided i needed something to protect my ears from the cold weather. i saw a really cute headband on urban's website. however, they didn't have it in the store i visited. so i settled on what could possibly be an equally cute hate. i've never, ever been a hat person so lets just say i'm stepping out of my comfort zone a little on this one. i hear that's a good thing every now and then
