Weekend Wardrobe: Road Trip to the Coast Travel Wardrobe

From Visit Florida

Spring break has arrived for many university students (even though spring itself has still not officially started), but let's take a road trip to the coast this week anyway, shall we?  If the most popular beaches are avoided then perhaps an oceanfront visit can still be enjoyed with minimal crowds.  The weather at these less frequented locations will probably still be too chilly to allow for much time on the beach, but sometimes just a walk along the shoreline while taking in the view is even more pleasant than a day spent in the sun, sand, and surf on a hot and crowded summer day.  As long as you dress appropriately, the cool temperatures should not be a problem, and a good raincoat will withstand any sudden showers that may pop up.

Before we start with the outfit to wear in transit, I thought I would mention the bags that would be brought along for this trip.  Normally I limit the bags to one carryon-sized suitcase and either a large tote bag or a backpack, but, because (a) this is a road trip and (b) I found the canvas sailboats-print bags from Land's End irresistible, I decided to throw all three into the car.  Even if either the tote or the backpack remain empty, they can still be useful - the tote bag would be great for shopping excursions in town, and the backpack would come in handy for any hiking expeditions.

And now on to the outfit to wear on the drive:

Bean Women's PrimaLoft-Lined H2OFF Raincoat in Deep Navy; Land's End Women's Classic Leather Belt in Deep Sea; Degohome Canvas Crossbody Bag in Coffee; Land's End Women's Sperry Authentic Original 2 Eye Boat Shoes in Tan; Land's End Women's High Rise Straight Leg Jeans in Blue Vista Indigo; Land's End Women's 3/4 Sleeve Supima Cotton Sweater in Cozumel Blue Regatta.

Finally, here are the items to pack:

Clockwise from top left: Land's End Women's Supima Cotton Cardigan in Radiant Navy; King Ice The Boat Emoji Necklace in 14k Gold; Land's End Women's Supima Cotton Cardigan in Cozumel Blue; LORVIES Women's Square Neck Scarf in Sailing Boat Fish Quilt Pattern; Land's End Women's Short Sleeve Supima Sweater in Cozumel Blue; Land's End Mid Rise Curvy Skinny Jeans in Bleach White; Land's End Women's Lightweight Comfort Mesh Slip-On Shoes in Deep Sea; Land's End Women's Comfort Elastic Ballet Flats in Midnight Sapphire; Land's End Women's Tall Mid Rise Chino Capri Pants in Iced Coffee; Land's End Women's Short Sleeve Supima Sweater in Radiant Navy; Land's End Women's Nautical Charm Bracelet in Gold Tone; Land's End Medium Embroidered Zipper Pouch in Sailboats; Center top: Land's End Women's Short Sleeve Supima Sweater in White; Center bottom: Land's End Women's Tall Mid Rise Chino Capri Pants in Fresh Coral.

I pulled the color scheme of navy, white, bright medium blue, tan, and coral from the 3/4 sleeve sweater to be worn in transit.  I've kept this wardrobe casual but not sloppy, so it is suitable for strolling on the beach or around town.  And if the weather should turn out to be truly unpleasant, then perhaps the best idea would be to spend some time in your jammies, lounging around your room with a good book while hopefully enjoying a view of the ocean from your window!

I hope you did not forget to set your clocks ahead by one hour (spring forward) for the start of Daylight Saving Time.  Losing an hour of sleep is enough to make anyone want to take a vacation to the coast!
