At the Colosseum | Rome, Italy
I’ve been writing my Rome travel guide lately, which you may have read already: Roma, Italy 2 Day Trip – What to See & Where to Stay in Rome, Italy, and I wanted to post some of the travel outfits I wore over there. I traveled in the summer, so my wardrobe in Italy was all summer dresses and skirts, open-toe flats and wedges, and stuff like that!
Advert:
One of my most comfortable outfits was this green and turquoise summer dress look. It was something I just sort of put together with stuff I bought here in India, and mixing n’ matching it with stuff I bought while traveling in Rome. It’s a very summery, easy-to-carry outfit with hardly any makeup – typical summer street style that I love to wear while traveling. Plus it’s so simple it took just a minute to put it together!
I accessorized a belted tribal print mini-dress in green with turquoise sandals, and a matching faux-leather turquoise hobo bag that I bought from a street vendor in Rome for carrying things like my camera and sunscreen. This beautiful chalcedony necklace I wore with it was bought from a jewelry store, again in Rome. I wore my wavy hair half up for a quick to-go look.
I was wearing:
Tribal print green dress: Local store, Chandigarh
Turquoise Handbag: Street vendor, Rome, Italy
Chalcedony necklace: KLK Accessori di Moda, Rome, Italy
Turquoise sandals: Aldo
Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren
