Cakes And Styles: Taipei 2015

Cliché I know but I love traveling. Style blogger or not, let’s admit it, it’s one area of dressing that we’re more particular about. If you’re traveling on a business, you might wanna present yourself smart and polished to your business partners. If you’re on a sightseeing mission, you might wanna look your best for the pictures with the scenery or famous landmarks etc.

With traveling comes also another grueling task – packing. To make it easier for me, I make a list of my day-to-day outfits after another task called “wardrobe rehearsal”. In my previous company, I was notorious for bringing my whole wardrobe when I travel. More options, more fun. Right? Lol! So it came to them as a surprise, one day when I brought a compact luggage for a 3-day business trip. I tell you, they kept on eliminating me when trying to guess the owner of that suitcase parked at the office lobby when I went out for lunch. Haha!

Over the years, I’ve mastered the art of lite-packing I think. My last leisure trip to SG involved just a medium Le Pliage shoulder bag for all my clothing. And for this recent trip to Taiwan, I was able to squeeze everything in a duffle bag which is a feat considering all the layering involved in the weather. Whereas before I would put on 5 different pairs of shoes, this time I bought only these Chinese Laundry thigh highs to make way for more coats! Check out how I styled it in my 4-day trip below:
