I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult.
As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new approach to packing more of a color story, blue and white. I really stuck to this, and did not bring anything black, but just shades of blue with white pieces and some lighter neutrals. It will be easy to mix and match pieces, and I know that everything will work together.
I tried to find pieces and links that match some of the older, sold-out pieces I packed, so without further ado, here's whats in my suitcase!
Interesting suggestions! In the summer I value clothes made of natural materials. That's why I like cashmere clothes at this time, in which my skin feels great.
