Q: What should I pack for my weekend get away?

A: Packing for a weekend away needs to center around what you'll be doing while away. The goal should be to create an outfit for everything you'll be doing, mixing and matching and reusing items like shoes and accessories along the way. I limit myself to one to two pairs of shoes, plus my running/workout shoes and create all of my outfits for the weekend around that. Jackets, jeans and hoodies can be reworn, one day with jeans, the next with a dress, etc., so I'll bring these and then load up on basics to pair with all of it. One thing I never leave home without: a great weekend bag.
