I am planning our last full week up at the cottage this summer and I want to change how I pack. I often spend more time packing for the kids than I do for myself these days and it ends up with lackluster outfits.
This outfit is something that would be great for the cottage. Its easy and casual but still put together enough that I wouldn’t be embarassed seeing anyone I knew. Sure I might switch out the wedges for some flats but still its something I want to wear.
My failure where it comes to packing is poor planning. I end up throwing a bunch of t-shirts and shorts in a bag and then wonder why I don’t have anything cute to wear when I get up to the cottage!
So this is my plan. Plan to bring three categories of outfits.
1. casual wear for walks, hikes or playing outside. Exercise gear is appropriate for this.
2. bathing suits and cover ups for the beach. Cute sundresses can double as a cover up.
3. Casual outfits that have more polish like the above. Jeans and sundresses would work here.
Or course I need a few pairs of shoes but I find that I can get y really easily with a pair of nice sandals and a pair of running shoes for walks or outdoor activities.
The key this time around is really to make sure I pack outfits that aren’t just for going for a morning walk and that is it.
Outfit details; Cashmere Sweater Tee & Raffia fedora Club Monaco (both on sale RIGHT NOW), Boyfriend Jeans AG, Wedge sandals JCREW (old, but love these in blue), Jewellery Vintage & Stella & Dot.
Do you always pack things you like to wear or do you panic pack like me?
