Packing List – Autumn Country Weekend

Autumn Weekend Packing Guide

I’m all for a weekend vacation.  I’m especially keen on weekend getaways in the autumn.

The bright colors of the leaves, the chill in the air, the ample supply of apple cider, and getting home early enough for Sunday football?  It’s the best. Sorry to the other seasons, but fall kind of kicks your ass.

We spent last weekend at the Tides Inn on the Chesapeake Bay, where the weather was warm and the food had lots of butter.  Even though we did our typical weekend routine (reading the papers and books, wandering around, and eating too much food), it was nice to do it in the peace and quiet of Irvington versus New York City.

You could probably get away with a lot less than I packed (one pair of shoes versus two, an additional sweater instead of a dress), but you will want to add pretty much everything to your fall wardrobe – cozy shirts that are also flattering, comfortable jeans (I opted for the maternity version), and a dress that will hide every evidence of the biscuits and gravy I indulged in every. single. morning.

Why aren’t biscuits and gravy a thing up north?  They need to be.

And yes, I received this items gratis thanks to my partnership with Old Navy.  Full disclosure – I’d buy every item myself, and have already purchased more maternity pants and flannel shirts (hello, fall and winter uniform).  But you can make out almost as well by getting 30% off your order using the code STUFFSAVE.

On to the outfits.
