Road Trippin'

My sister and I have taken a trip together almost every year since we were in college. (I think the only one we missed was the summer I got married? I can't remember.) Last year we flew to Toronto, and it was awesome, but after all of this polar vortex BS we decided to hit somewhere warm: Savannah! We're road trippin' it up and plan to make a pit stop in Nashville along the way, too.

Of course, the nice thing about going by car is that we don't have to drag a suitcase through the airport, so there's less pressure to travel light. Since we'll be driving so much, my rule for this trip is that everything I wear HAS to be comfy, so I'm focusing on that instead of jamming all of my outfits into a carry-on.

dress  //  cardigan  //  t-shirts  //  shorts  //  jeans  //  wedges  //  flip flops  //  tote  //  sunglasses  //  necklace  //  earrings  //  watch

>> Maxi dress. They fit the comfort bill because they're kind of like wearing a blanket, but the weather this time of year in Savannah (70s and low 80s) is perfect for busting one out. They're hard to wear when it's really hot, so I want to enjoy this little window while I can. Plus, this is a slightly nicer outfit option in case we end up going somewhere snazzy one evening.

>> Quality shoes. Once we actually get to Savannah, we'll be doing touristy things (which will obviously include creeping on the houses in the Historic District) on foot since I doubt we'll be in a hurry to get back in the car. This means my Clarks will be making the trip. I would only hate myself if I brought something cute but toe-pinchy.

>> Tote bag! I can find a reason to bring a tote bag anywhere, but having a place to drop your camera and a bottle of water is pretty legit for a vacation. Also, everybody's been inside all winter so I think having sunscreen nearby will be one of my better ideas.

>> A watch. Yeah, yeah, everybody has a clock on their phone now, but what if you're distracted by the trees and forget to look at it, and then you miss your tour at the giant historical mansion? Sad face.

>> Statement jewelry. Most of my clothes will be pretty casual (think t-shirts and either skinny jeans or shorts), so having some bigger jewelry will help me look pulled together without sacrificing comfort. Some scarves will be coming with me, too.

Do you have any vacations coming up? What do you like to pack for a road trip? What's the longest drive you've ever made? (It's apparently 7 hours from Nashville to Savannah, so that will be mine.)
