Late Summer Getaway Wardrobe

We have not been able to get away for any long trips this summer but we have a few weekends planned and love to take off in September when the weather cools a bit

I'm not an advanced awesome packer but I have learned a few tricks, one of which is to take a wardrobe that essentially is all in the same color family 

In this case I'm taking every thing in 

white

khaki 

&

soft blush pink 

I try to keep jewelry to a minimum,

 usually one necklace, a great watch and two pairs of earrings

(do you own an Apple watch?  I don't but they look pretty darn fun)

I always pack a hat...it's that crazy hair thing that happens to me ; )

Maxi's work because that can transition from day to dinner fairly easily 

This is a pretty light creamy skirt from Zara

and I like easy comfortable pants

usually jeans or drapey linen

and tailored cropped trousers are a great call

For a quick weekend trip, I wear one pair of shoes and bring a spare but never more than that because I never wear them!  

Seriously..... I have packed more shoes for vacations 

and wind up wearing only two pair the entire trip

Always a pair of sneakers

chucks are a great choice 

and a pair of low heals or maybe a great comfy boot

I found these on Zappos and I loooooove them

Our little getaways are alway by car 

so luggage is simple 

with duffles that work both as a purse and for clothes

I love this classic Branch Tote

from LL Bean

you can have these monogramed too

and throw a simple clutch inside the tote for shopping or dinner

this simple white one is from Brooks Brothers

So here is what I have planned for two days
