Travel outfit challenge – Packing Light For Spring. Best plan is to plan for layers! Think mix n’ match with a basic colour base. Whether you are planning a getaway weekend or a casual week away…this should cover you…
Packing Light For Spring
When packing light for Spring – you want to think minimalist with style. One maxi dress for dinner out (or layer it for touring around during the day). A basic black flat will never do you wrong. Neutral sandals can dress up or down. Plan your t-shirts and tank tops to mix n’ match with your bottoms for comfort and style. A basic blue and black jean will take you pretty much anywhere these days. An asymmetrical skirt is a fav (bonus if you can find a convertible dress/skirt because that turns one piece into two different outfit options).
And as Spring can be chilly (or not) layering sweaters in neutrals are a must! I always have a colourful scarf with me (which can be your pop of colour to this minimalist travel packing list). A big tote/messenger/backpack is great for day use but then you might want to take along a neutral wristlet for evenings out. Sunhat, sunglasses, and wrist watch are practical yet stylish accessories.
And speaking of accessories – I highly recommend my NO SEW DIY T-SHIRT INFINITY SCARF tutorial – this is a must-pack for me for every trip I take. Seriously, I love this scarf!
Think of it this way – a scarf is a perfect Packing Light For Spring item. It’s one item you can way a bunch of different ways. Plus, it can double as a blanket in an airplane, a nursing cover up, rain gear and more. A colourful scarf can add so much to a otherwise neutral outfit.
That blue infinity scarf above comes from Shop Mochi (not sponsored – I have the same scarf in cranberry and it’s awesome). 🙂
I’m loving your infinity scarf tutorial. Easy peasy and oh so cute! Packing is always a challenge for me. I always forget something and bring things I simply never wear. Great tips!!
I’m already thinking about how to trim down my wardrobe and love these options for mix and match in all kinds of weather!
I’ve been working on bettering my wardrobe by having items that I can mix and match. So far so good. Now I only need to get my hands on the dress and skirt in the first picture…. 🙂
What a cute idea! And so easy!
There are some people I know who can make 10 outfits out of 5 pieces of clothing. Not me. I have to always have matching outfits before I go anywhere.
Great choices! Love the long as skirt and dress. So my style!
These are some wonderful choices. I love that there are so many ways to wear the infinity scarf. I love wearing them!
these are great packing choices for spring and I have most of those items in my closet already. I need to get better about this when I travel.
I love the infinity scarf. I am not a light packer. I need to try paking light for my next trip.
I love your infinity scarf tutorial.
I like the idea of layering. I tend to pack color coordinated pieces that I can easily mix and match.
