Weekend Wardrobe: Spring Garden Tour Weekend Getaway Travel Wardrobe

From TripAdvisor

One of these days I would love to visit Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia.  Almost any time of the year would offer opportunities to see beautiful color, but I am especially drawn to the spring blooms of the Daffodil Gardens, which are advertised as "the largest daffodil display in the nation".  Since the gardens are a few hours away from where we live, this destination would be the perfect opportunity for a weekend getaway, driving at our own pace and stopping at whatever attractions happen to catch our fancy along the way.

Springtime weather is notoriously fickle, so this weekend getaway wardrobe would have to be planned accordingly.  If the weekend is nice, then the apparel would be appropriate for lots of walking, but even if conditions turn chilly and wet the casual collection would also work well for lazy days lounging about in a cozy inn.  I went with more subdued colors this week as a contrast to the previous two weeks' very bright and colorful choices, but a few fun floral patterns bring some playfulness to the outfits.

Here are the items to wear/carry in transit:

Clockwise from top left: Coldwater Creek Day-to-Day Long Sleeve Cardigan in Charcoal Heather; Joules Golightly Waterproof Jacket in Grey Garden Ditsy; Baggallini Triple Zip Crossbody in Charcoal; ZhouLianFa Cactus Pattern Watch in Blue; OGIO Layover 22" Rolling Carry-On in Graphite; SAS Walk Easy Sneaker in Nero/Charcoal Nubuck; Aeropostale Women's Floral Jeggings; L.L. Bean Women's Elbow-Sleeve Scoopneck Pima Cotton Tee in Brightwater Blue.

And here are the items to pack:

Clockwise from top left: Coldwater Creek Day-to-Day Long Sleeve Cardigan in Lapis; Talbots Pop Floral Woven Scarf in Ivory/Clover/Magenta; Coldwater Creek Roll-Sleeve Denim Dress in Medium Blue Wash; Toms Women's Ella Booties in Forged Iron Grey Suede; Coldwater Creek Lightweight Tailored Denim Trousers in Medium Wash; L.L. Bean Women's Elbow-Sleeve Scoopneck Pima Cotton Tee in Dark Celadon; Center top to bottom: L.L. Bean Women's Elbow-Sleeve Scoopneck Pima Cotton Tee in Light Ocean; Coldwater Creek Lone Cactus Necklace; L.L. Bean Women's Elbow-Sleeve Scoopneck Pima Cotton Tee in Coral Rose.

You probably noticed a couple of fun cactus-themed items in this collection.  Cacti seem to be a new fashion trend this year, and one that I love, so I just couldn't resist adding them to this garden-oriented wardrobe.  After all, even the prettiest panoramas contain a few prickly plants!  I hope you are enjoying an abundantly floral spring in your neck of the woods!
