I understand that international trips can be busy because your schedule might be hectic if you travel with a group. But there are many ways to remain stylish!
How to remain stylish during an international trip:
The quality of your clothes is important, but sometimes it’s also about the creativity that your clothes can express.
Several years ago, I bought a pair of sunglasses from Chanel’s boutique in Europe.
I think I’ve been wearing the Chanel ribbon more frequently than the Chanel sunglasses because it’s so versatile and practical.
The sales assistant used the Chanel ribbon to tie the shopping bag.
The beautiful ribbon is often around my neck these days.
I love the ribbon so much that I repurposed it.
What’s more, it looks better than a typical necklace because it has a certain flair that is absolutely unique.
Interestingly, when I was a child, I often liked the box that the toy comes in much more than the toy itself – I always think outside the box.
Therefore, can you come up with different ways to wear what you have or repurpose some items in your closet?
How to invest in your closet:
Before 2020, the most expensive item in my closet was from Princess Highway. I usually went shopping at Kmart, Target and H&M until something dramatic happened:
In 2020 the pandemic started, so I lost a very decent job. Therefore, I had to figure something else out. At that time, I found a new job in a bed shop where mattresses and beds were sold. Because my manager told me to wear formal clothes, I bought some nice clothes from a department store. That was a lifechanging experience because I never knew high-quality clothes can make me feel that good! The design, the fabric, the quality…. I love everything about great clothes. Actually, the manager at the bed shop told me that my new clothes were not good enough because they are a very premium bed shop. Long story short, I left the bed shop because they told me to leave (the manager said I didn’t wear makeup at work and that was not formal enough according to her standards). Anyway, I went to a job interview at a clothing shop one week later. As I was wearing fantastic clothes that I
bought from the department store at the job interview, the clothing shop manager was very impressed with my style. I was hired within 24 hours.
That’s why I believe that investing in my wardrobe is a wonderful idea because it can change my destiny.
“Whenever I have an international trip, I always go to local clothing shops and buy clothes as souvenirs – I don’t want to miss out on opportunities that may change my life again.”
