simple trip prep :: clothing

tanks

long sleeved tees

wool layer

windbreaker

soft pants

leggings

sandals

trainers + socks

baseball cap

Once we've decided where our vacation plans will take us, one of the big things we have to deal with is what clothing to pack. I find this task both fun + daunting. No matter the size of our wardrobes, many of us might start to make a list of things we "need" to purchase in order to feel prepared for our travels. 

Our past trips have often involved being prepared to do lots of walking + maybe hiking as well as looking cute enough to join the chic in the city. The trip we are looking forward to involves all things outdoors...in a place where outdoorsy style fits right in even in the city. (Fingers crossed.)  :)

This trip will involve "living" outdoors + visiting areas steeped in this lifestyle. I anticipate feeling comfortable in pretty much one type of clothing + that makes the prospect of packing only a backpack seem really manageable. Layering is king here. A tank, soft pants (or shorts...yet to be decided) + sandals will keep me cool. Layering leggings, a long-sleeved tee, a wool layer, windbreaker + trainers will keep me warm. Outdoor living + hiking can call for various levels of layering throughout the day. I think these pieces will be up to the challenge. 

I also love that as I think through packing for this trip, I can find almost all of what I anticipate needing in my own small wardrobe. (!)

Here's what I'm planning on packing:
-tanks
-long-sleeved tees
-wool layer
-windbreaker
-soft pants or jumpsuit or shorts 
-leggings
-trainers, socks, sandals
-baseball cap (+ maybe a beanie or headband)

I did need to purchase a windbreaker that packs small. Otherwise my small wardrobe proved sufficient! Yay!
