Last Updated on November 9, 2019 When traveling (or living) in the Midwest in winter, a warm coat is always a must – bonus points if it looks nice and not marshmallow-like! This swing coat from my friends over at ModCloth fits the bill for both. And how gorgeous is that burnt orange color? I had originally pictured wearing this coat against a beautiful backdrop of fall foliage… however, this is Wisconsin, where Mother Nature does whatever she darn well… Read more »

Last Updated on November 7, 2019“Trying trends” is turning into a monthly occurrence on Have Clothes, Will Travel! This is fun for me, as it’s getting me out of my style comfort zone a bit. I’m featuring a few more trends I had been hesitant to try – not as hesitant as past installments of this blog series, but nonetheless I had yet to warm up to these trends! Today’s post is taking a look at fanny packs, mini purses,… Read more »
Last Updated on October 23, 2019When you hear the dress code for some restaurants at Sandals Resorts requires you to wear “resort evening wear” – you may start to picture suit coats and gowns. Fret not! The dress code is not that over-the-top, and this post will break down how to dress for “resort evening” for both men and women, but still be comfortable on your beach vacation. Click here for a complete list of Sandals Resorts. How to Dress… Read more »
Last Updated on October 16, 2019I’m testing out the Aviator Merino Wool Travel T-Shirt in today’s post. When it comes to travel clothing, I am always intrigued by any company that says their clothes are wrinkle-free and moisture-wicking. I hate ironing my clothes, even if I’m not traveling. Oh, and when I’m in an airport… I sweat profusely, even in the middle of winter (thanks to usually running to catch connecting flights in O’Hare and lugging around a heavy backpack… Read more »
Last Updated on October 10, 2019Wondering what to wear for a day of exploring in Baku, Azerbaijan? This post is here to help! Unlike my previous outfit post from Baku, this outfit worked perfectly for a day of exploring around the city! I was comfortable in it all day long – and it went from rainy and miserable in the morning to hot and sticky by the afternoon. (I had visited in September.) Shoes As with any city, a day… Read more »

Last Updated on October 2, 2019 Ok, so what I am wearing in this post was NOT an ideal outfit for visiting the Gobustan National Park and Mud Volcanoes outside of Baku, Azerbaijan. In theory, this outfit should have been OK. It’s comfortable. My dress is 100% cotton and breathes very well. And I’ve worn these sandals on countless adventures because they’re so easy to walk in. However, in practice, this outfit just wasn’t the greatest! Here’s why… My Sandals… Read more »
Last Updated on September 26, 2019If you’re heading to Dallas, Texas in the near future – you’re in luck! The Dallas Museum of Art has extended the “Dior: From Paris to the World” exhibit until October 27th. This exhibit shows more than 70 years of the House of Dior’s work and more than one hundred haute couture dresses. There are also original sketches, mood boards, accessories, runway videos and letters on display. It’s amazing! I was fortunate enough to tour… Read more »
Last Updated on September 25, 2019Another round of “trying trends” here on Have Clothes, Will Travel! Today’s post is featuring a few more trends I had sworn I would never try – pinafores, bodysuits and playsuits. Bodysuits and playsuits are two trends I had no interest in due to how difficult they would make it for me to go to the bathroom. I also was never that intrigued by pinafores, as I didn’t think they would be too flattering on… Read more »
Last Updated on October 1, 2019 Seeing a performance at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow should be at the top of your Russia bucket list! This historic theatre holds some of the world’s best ballet and opera performances. Dressing the part for this grand theatre is at the top of many theatre-goers minds, too. Should you wear a gown? A suit coat? Are jeans acceptable? This post is here to explain how to dress for the Bolshoi Theatre for both… Read more »

Last Updated on September 6, 2019Written by Marie McCaughey We all like to look our best on vacation. When you look good, you feel good and we all want to feel our best on our special time away. The rules are all different on vacation, and it feels exciting to sort of reinvent yourself in a foreign land. Why not go all out with your style, and more importantly, your accessories? Here are a few options that can make any… Read more »
Last Updated on September 25, 2019When planning for our trip to Petra, I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out what to wear for this day of exploring in Jordan. I was seeing a lot of extremes when I was Googling around for blog posts on the subject – sometimes the post would feature the lovely lady in a gorgeous dress or skirt with sneakers or sandals and other posts were telling me to wear my best… Read more »
Last Updated on August 26, 2019*Enter to win my $100 Nordstrom gift card giveaway at the end of the blog post. 5 years old! Can you believe it? My blog is old enough to go to Kindergarten, now! To be perfectly honest, too…I didn’t actually publish this post on my real “blogiversary.” It’s on August 15th. However, these last couple weeks have been bonkers busy – but in the best possible way. And one of the things I’m working on… Read more »
Last Updated on September 14, 2019Scouring the internet for cute novelty handbags is one of my favorite pastimes. Sometimes, just knowing that they are out there makes me happy. And, sometimes, I can’t help myself and buy them allll! If you’re new to my blog, I invite you to check out my favorite “faux camera bag” in this post and my 2D Jump From Paper bag in this post. I also am the proud owner of a ladybug purse, ice… Read more »
Last Updated on October 10, 2019 I took a risk with what I wore to float in the Dead Sea while we were in Jordan. If you remember my blog post about the Dead Sea from when we were in Israel, you’ll know that wearing such a light-colored or brightly colored swimsuit is risky business! The reason you wouldn’t want to wear a brightly colored swimsuit…or ya know, a red and white swimsuit, is because of the high salt content… Read more »
Last Updated on October 10, 2019Wondering what to wear for a day of exploring near the Dead Sea in Jordan? This post is here to help! Deciding what to wear for this day of exploring was a bit tricky, as I still wanted to be comfortable and dressed conservatively (more info on how to dress appropriately in Jordan as a woman here), but I wanted something that could also double as a coverup at the beach after we were done… Read more »
Last Updated on November 12, 2019 As a foreign woman (or man) traveling in Jordan, it’s important to give some thought to how you dress. As was the case in Egypt, Jordan is also a mostly Muslim country where dressing conservatively is appreciated. Now, nothing terrible will happen if you don’t follow these clothing “rules.” However, as a tourist, I think it’s important to respect the culture and customs of the country you are visiting. So, offending the people of… Read more »
Last Updated on August 24, 2019 I recently had the opportunity to try a new-to-me clothing website called Ever-Pretty. They sent me two dresses to try for this Ever-Pretty dress review. Personally, I was rather skeptical. The website seemed like any other overseas clothing company that deals with lower quality clothing. However, I’ve had great luck ordering from different overseas companies in the past… So, I decided to give it a go! This post will be my honest review of… Read more »
Last Updated on September 29, 2019 I am on a roll with finding some fantastic travel dresses this summer! This dress is not only packable and wrinkle-resistant… it’s cute and stylish to boot. It’s also incredibly comfortable and versatile (I’m styling it with both heels and sandals in this post). However, the best part of this dress is that it HAS POCKETS. I repeat, IT HAS POCKETS. A Stylish & Packable Travel Dress (With Pockets!) by Karina Dresses This is… Read more »
Last Updated on September 26, 2019 Minnetonka Moccasins is a shoe company I’ve been a fan of ever since I was a little girl. I’ll never forget when my mom bought me my first pair of Minnetonka Moccasins…I was around 7 or 8 years old. She had taken me to a family-owned shoe store in Minocqua, Wisconsin just before school started, so I could pick out a pair for the new school year. I was so excited! I wore those… Read more »

Last Updated on August 16, 2019 Another round of pattern and print mixing here on Have Clothes, Will Travel featuring my favorite floral midi skirt! This time I’m sharing how to mix polka dots and florals. This is an outfit I put together for a date night with my husband at a restaurant we literally live on top of, haha. It’s always busy and rather pricey. So, we’ve only eaten here a few times…and have never gotten a table on… Read more »
I am not the first to try a new trend, I usually sit back for a couple years and see what happens before I add any of the current trending pieces to my wardrobe. Faux leather leggings and athleisure are two looks that have been going strong for a while now. However, if it wasn’t for my friends over at Femme Luxe sending me these pieces, I don’t think I ever would have given them a shot! So, without further… Read more »
