Everything I Wore in Portugal

9 days, carry-on only.

Our trip to Portugal was nothing like we planned, but somehow turned out way better than anticipated. With a mix of sunny (but not-that-warm) and gloomy, rainy weather, we adjusted our beach plans and spent more time exploring. We had 2 days in Lisbon and a week in the Algarve region, both of which were beautiful in their own way.

Here’s my whole packing list, and here’s everything I wore while I was there…

Rediscovered my green mini for this trip and I forgot how much I love it. No longer available in this color, but it does come in black!

Wear testing our new minimalist belt, the Maren Essential Belt. It coordinates with the Sera Crescent Bag. Loved it with this outfit.

This set is an oldie but a goodie from Apiece Apart and almost always comes with me on a warm weather vacation. I love it with minimalist sandals and my Basket Tote.

These shorts are another warm weather essential and always in my suitcase when I travel in the spring and summer months. They’re raw silk, making them both lightweight and elevated. Natalie20 for 20% off.

Grandpa vibes in the best way. I can’t believe how perfectly my Havre Studio blazer matches my Na Nin pants. What a dream! I paired with my favorite cropped tank and loafers, which I walked around in all day long. This is a new favorite outfit of mine — never underestimate a suit!

I call this one The Girl With The Pearl Earring. An easy, effortless dressy look for our anniversary dinner, finished off with the Sera Crescent Bag in Bone Leather, coming soon.. The earrings are part of a design collaboration with THATCH and so easily level up an outfit.

Dark red and olive green just might be my new favorite color combo. I loved this outfit!

This outfit felt both light and breezy, yet still dressed up enough for dinner out. These pants are SO SOFT, and of course I’m obsessed with the cropped tank. Chestnut suede bag will be in stock very soooooon.

Black and brown has quickly become another color combo I gravitate toward. As someone with a warm complexion, the brown softens the black and adds more natural color to my face. The short suit is cool on its own, but I loved how the sunglasses, belt, bag and vintage earrings took it up a notch.

Drooling over this pistachio gelato all over again — it was excellent. It was a chilly & gloomy morning with sun coming later, so layering was key. I love the color palette happening in this outfit! Loafers with charms were great for walking around, and my bag has proven perfect for travel.

This was my “first outfit” of the trip — we had just arrived at the hotel and I needed to turn things around quick to grab dinner. Never underestimate the power of a French Pin, blazer and some blush.

For our one and only beach day, my button up shirt and shorts were an easy swim coverup. Sweater required for breakfast due to the chilly morning temps!

We took a catamaran out for our anniversary and it was SOOOO CHILLY — never been happier to have a thick sweater handy to keep me warm. I only wore this cardigan for my travel day and this boat day, but it was so worth it to have in my bag!

Dark red and green strikes again, plus some brown to tie them together. This look was so oversized and comfortable, but still felt put together thanks to the gold details (Mary Jane flats & jewelry), elevated suede bag and sweater over the shoulders.

There you have it! Everything I wore for our trip — lots of mixing and matching, and every single thing had a chance to be worn more than once. Overall, I loved what I packed and it was perfect for the weather and our activities. So satisfying when it works out!
