The beach trip that Hurricane Irene postponed is on for this weekend. Therefore I'm playing the packing game again - you know the one: pack, think, unpack, repack. Hope for the best. I checked the weather for Labor Day weekend at the beach and it's gonna start out nice and then turn into fall real quick, perhaps with a bit of precipitation thrown into the mix. Which means I have to pretty much pack for all four seasons.
I started the packing game last night. Had my head full of ideas about what I wanted to wear and how all those boardwalk/ice cream fantasies would go. So I tried things on and eliminated A LOT. Which was a super bummer because my head thought all those things would be cute. My head was wrong.
I actually packed my bag to semi-completeness. (Once the game is officially over, I'll post a picture of what I decided on). Most of my recent buys are rolled or folded in my suitcase awaiting my final verdict. I'll give you the breakdown though:
2 skirts (1 A-line, 1 mini) - both thrifted
3 dresses (2 casual, 1 for going out) - 2 thrifted
2 jeans (1 skinny, 1 jegging) - those are NY&Co
Several tanks in lots of colors - F21
3 button-downs, varying sleeve lengths - 2 thrifted
1 tunic - got it at Ross
1 cozy lightweight knit sweater - thrifted
1 cardi, 1 pair of leggings, 1 halter - all bought new
2 wedges - 1 thrifted
1 pair of heels - hand-me-downs
1 tote bag - thrifted
1 crossbody bag - bought new
1 clutch - thrifted
belts - some thrifted
jewelry, sun hat, fedora, bathing suit.
BTW, I'm only going for three nights. But I'm like the Boy Scouts. Prepared. And besides, a girl's gotta have options, right? Right.
