Mixing secondhand & retail fashion since birth

Packing For a Long Weekend in PA

Here’s a quick capsule for a long weekend. I used a mostly red, white & blue palette with a couple other neutrals. I included a lot of layers since I was going up to PA & wasn’t completely sure of the weather.

A list of the pieces I brought (a couple things changed from the photos, noted):

1 pair blue jeans
1 pair white jeans
1 pair yoga pants
3 tees (1 to sleep in)
1 tank top (not pictured)
1 button down
1 hooded sweatshirt
1 sweater
1 trench coat
1 dress – I ended up taking a different dress but didn’t end up wearing it anyway
2 pair sneakers – I swapped the NB for Nikes & added a pair of plain white sneakers, last minute
1 pair clogs
1 pair wedges
2 crossbody bags – one leather (not pictured), one nylon
1 pair leggings (to sleep in)

Bottoms, tees, trench
Tops, shoes, trench, dress
Tops, trench, dress, shoes
Dress, shoes, sleepwear, dog
Travel outfit – linen tank, cotton sweater, yoga pants, sneakers (took my Nike Airs instead of these NB), trench coat, crossbody bag
How it looked packed. I always just shove all my underwater, socks & any other small items in & around my shoes. My toiletries, cords, electronics all went in my travel backpack.

It turned out to be a very useful capsule for the long weekend. I wore everything except the dress & the button-down and felt I had a lot of variety for how few pieces I took.
