The biggest myth I believed in growing up was that people in their 20s had everything figured out. Now that I’m 20, I can see that that is totally not true. Instead, I learned that everyone is just taking it day by day and trying to figure out who they are. 

The best part about being young is that it’s okay to not have everything figured out. It leaves room for trial and error, new experiences, spontaneity, and soul searching. And what better way to soul search than by traveling abroad?

This summer, I’ll be interning in London for one month. As scary as it sounds to work and live in a foreign country by yourself, I couldn’t pass up this opportunity of a lifetime. 

Here are three outfits I’m packing that I know I’ll need for my summer abroad.

Outfit #1 – Travel Outfit

If you’re only flying to one city, it’s easy to country hop in Europe via train for an affordable price. If you have a free weekend, or even a free day, why not check out a neighboring country? 

You’ll want to be comfortable, but fashionable, for the long commute. Culottes have become a major trend this summer, and for good reason. The wide-legged flare adds a comfortable twist to your everyday trousers without giving up style.

Pair bright, solid-colored culottes with a printed blouse and cat eye sunglasses for a high fashion look.

Outfit #2 – Daytime Sightseeing Outfit

One of the best things about traveling abroad – or anywhere – is sightseeing and exploring the city. Europe can get pretty hot in the summertime, and chances are you’ll do a lot of exploring on foot, so it’s important to keep your look light and comfortable.
