Summer is my time to explore the world around me and make a little extra money! I am so excited for all of the adventures I have coming up this summer! I’ve been several places outside the US for incredible trips but I have not had the opportunity to see a lot of places in my own country. I made some major summer travel plans this year and I am excited to say that’s about to change! I’ll have the chance to visit: Richmond, New Orleans, Norwalk, Epping, Denver, Sonoma, Seattle, and a few other stops along the way!

My first stop is Richmond, VA. I’ve never been there before but I am really excited to check-out the town. A lot of these trips I have planned are long weekends. I used to have a really hard time packing for a long weekend. I’ve started to master the art packing for weekend getaways by always having a few “go-to” outfits for whatever season we’re in. These are outfits I know I can throw in my bag and will be excited to put on. I am sharing a few great outfits you can wear during summer weekends or throw in your bag for a weekend trip to know you’re covered. I’ll be there for three days, here’s what I am packing.

Pro Packing Tip: Lay out your outfits like I did. Include all the shoes, jewelry, undergarments, that will go with each outfit. Then when you put them in your bag you know that you didn’t forget anything. I used to overthink, ‘Wait, did I pack socks for each day?’ or think that I could mix-match on the fly. Knowing what goes with what leaves you with more confidence in your outfits so you don’t try to sneak extras in your bag last minute!
