While this list can have variations depending on the location and length of your trip, these basics should get any wo/man through the weekend in effortless style!
- Sunglasses– we’ll believe in the power of positive thinking and thus, there will be sun! Plus, a scrunched-up face doesn’t make for pretty pictures or a nice introduction…
- Over-sized hat/Umbrella– Ok so much for positive thinking…better to be prepared, right? With this warm weather and a little moisture, a hat could be the one essential that keep your hair in check!
- Flip flops– they’re a summer essential…for walking around, as ‘house slippers’ in your hotel room, and depending on the cool, just the splash of color our sundress needs
- Linen/cotton pants– they are ideal for evenings and even daytime picnics. With a light over-sized cotton sweater and a tank, you’re ready for just about any kind of weather
- Swimsuit/trunks– even if you aren’t planning to take a dip, they take a very little luggage space and it makes you look like a good sport!
- Lightweight, long-sleeve sweater– stick with a white or neutral color so you can work it with multiple items…the evening breezy can still be a bit much
- Sporting outfit– whether it’s a round of gold, tennis, yatzy or a brisk morning walk, have something that can demonstrate your more athletic side
- Simple knee-leght dress/sport coat– these serve the same purpose which is to give you flexibility in heading off to dinner at a fancier place or just a sit-down soiree
- Fun, flirty skirt/shorts– after all it’s the weekend and you should have fun. Pack 2 so you can change it up if necessary
- Tees/button-down– depending on the weather/climate, plan to pack 3 (it’s a 4-day weekend and you’ve got other items to choose from)
- Footwear– sneakers, high- heel strappy sandals, flip flops, flats
All the rest is up for grabs but, there shouldn’t be much more needed. Incidentally, this should all fit into a duffel or rollerbag and carry-on (click here more details)

And don’t forget a stylish weekender bag that will make you look good getting on and off of that jetway!
An EXCELLENT point and one that has been noted!!! And heaven forbid, I didn’t mention jewelry which should be simple (sunstantial but simple necklace, 1 simple everyday ring, and 1 cocktail ring)
