Anyone else already have their bags packed? I’m staying put this weekend – but after a month of mini getaway trips I’d like to think I have my summer weekend bag pretty well put together. My trick (documented last Fall in this ‘what to pack for a long weekend away in the city‘ post) is to stick to easy to mix separates and a singular color palette. Since my Summer style naturally falls into reds, whites and blues anyway Fourth of July weekend is sort of a no brainer. A mix of patterns, a few solids, texture (like denim and lace) to keep things visually interesting, and neutral/metallic accessories. I’d throw in a pair of jeans/denim shorts and a plain white tee to round things out – but otherwise I feel confident I could tackle 3 days at the beach/lake, day trips, nights out and everything in between with just the pieces shown above (and by the way – almost all of what’s shown is on sale!). Where are you headed this weekend and what are you packing?
