From Our Beauty & Style Editor, Theresa Johnston
I’m taking a trip to Napa Valley next weekend. I can’t wait to taste beautiful wine, eat amazing food, and soak up some sun. Of course I’m thinking about what I’m going to wear! Packing light is a must, but I still want to look chic and be prepared for everything from dining at The French Laundry to playing bocce at Summers Winery. Here’s what I’m thinking of bringing. Clockwise from left.
A Great Dress
This dual-purpose printed ruffle dress from the Gap is spot-on for day but it can also be dressed up for evening with some high neutral wedges and gleaming gold jewelry. ($59.95)
Fun Earrings
It’s going to be hot in Napa so I’ll probably wear my hair up. When I put my hair up, I love to show off a pair of big earrings like these ASOS gold triangle hoops. ($8.52)
Denim Shirt
When the evenings cool down or I’m in an overly air conditioned tasting room, I’ll definitely need a fitted J.Crew denim shirt to keep the chill off. It will look great with both the dress I’ve picked out and over a tank and shorts. ($98)
Striped Tank
I love the subtle texture of this striped James Perse v-neck tank.($65)
Bright Handbag
I’ll need a pop of bright color to break up all the neutrals I’ll be wearing. This yellow, Lori’s Shoes faux-leather cross-body bag fits the bill. ($46.95)
Khaki Shorts
Classic cotton shorts from Old Navy are oh-so-comfortable and always look good. ($19.94)
Leather Sandals
These cognac leather sandals from Steve Madden are a nice step up from flip flops. ($56.95)
