Rome, Pt. 1: Neutral Magic, Luggage Woes, and Making it Work

Checking in to our flight to Rome, I noticed we were traveling a little bit too light.  I did a quick bag survey and realized that my carryon containing my most important items (I always carry on anything that is sentimental, super valuable, or irreplaceable) was not among our belongings.  I was Italy bound with no hats, make-up, laptop, or my favorite jacket. upon, landing, we headed straight to my most favorite vintage shop in Rome and snagged this beautiful white coat & hat.  silver lining of leaving all your good SH*t at home?  finding even better sh*t.   Side note:  What in the world is better than the glossy, worn down cobble stones of an ancient city? not much.
