1 Tote, 10 Pieces, 4 days! | OOTD #1

For my most recent visit to San Francisco, California I wanted to pack super light and keep my wardrobe simple for the four days I would be there. I challenged myself to pack all I needed in my tote and to only take along 10 pieces. Those 10 pieces included 1 pair of shoes, 1 jacket, 1 pair of jeans, 2 pairs of leggings, 4 tops, and 1 dress. By doing this I didn’t have to check a bag which saved me some time and frustration in the airport.

This OOTD is the first day of my trip which happened to be on Cinco de Mayo. Luckily I was thrifting a few weeks prior and came across this cute top that resembles some traditional Mexican garments. I wore that floral top, with dark denim jeans, white chucks, and my green cargo jacket to the airport on day one of my trip.

Day one was full of adventure! My fabulous sister met me in San Francisco so we hit the ground running. We immediately started sight seeing as soon as we touched down and checked into our hostel The Green Tortoise. Our first stop was Taqueria Zorro for tortas, fries, beer, and Mexican fruit punch. Afterwards, we roamed around on foot and got lost a few times (it’s our tradition). We went to check out China town, Fisherman’s Wharf, ate donuts at Trish’s on the board walk, had fajitas at Puerto Alegre for dinner and checked out some shops in The Mission area. By the end of the night all we could do is uber to the hostel and crash.

The first day of a trip tends to be low key and relaxed but ours was action packed. We had so much we wanted to see and only 4 days to see it all. We didn’t see everything on our list but we came pretty dang close. Come back to the blog tomorrow to see OOTD for day 2 and see our happenings, Enjoy!
