Packing for Vegas

- Fashion, Outfits, Shopping, Travel
In my Bag

 

As of today, I am going to say I officially suck at packing (even though I did a packing post here). I think my problem is packing for a trip for Vegas in January is different from packing for a trip in the summer. Summer dresses, swimsuits and going out clothes, simple! I know what I’m bringing to wear out, but I’m struggling with what I’ll want to wear during the day shopping, maybe a little gambling and of course, daytime drinking! Anyway, the above photo shows my carry-on essentials. My Intel tablet and magazines for entertainment, a scarf to stay warm on the flight, hand lotion and lip/cheek stain and a pair of aviators!

Airport Style Vegas

I always want to look cute, but be comfy on flights. We will also be meeting up with friends in Vegas almost immediately after checking into our hotel room, so I want to only have to add an accessory or touch up my makeup a little bit when we get there. So I decided on an outfit like this, cute booties, leggings, a long t-shirt and this cute cardigan from OASAP. I might wear my black jeans and another comfy sweater I have, but either way, I will be wearing something comfy!

Vegas Night One

My whole weekend is going to be centered around wearing gold when I go out (and during the day on Sunday when it is my golden birthday). YAY THEMES! I am such a theme-y person. So for my first night out I am going to wear a little black dress (seen here) with some new sparkly gold heels from JustFab.

Casual Daytime

I’ve had these gold wedge PUMA sneakers for a long time, but I can’t wait to bust them out on my birthday (SO COMFY). We will have a fun day exploring and then I’ll get all dressed up for my birthday that night. I’m sure I will be posting tons of Instagram photos, so no need to bore you with “the dress” twice here!

Vegas Day Touring

Monday we have another whole day and night, so I will probably wear a skirt + blouse combination for during the day (it is supposed to be 70 the whole time and to a Minnesotan this time of year, that means shorts/skirts) and a more colorful dress for night.

HOME

On the way back home, gotta be comfy AND WARM. Don’t want to think about this part yet… I’m just too excited to get there!

    I love that you are playing on the gold theme! And definitely layers on the plane- you never know how hot or cold it can be- especially coming from the Midwest to Vegas– I had work colleagues that were there last week and said it was around 60! Have fun!!

      Thanks girl! πŸ™‚ And yes, I always dress in layers for planes, even in the summer I get chilly! And it is just nice to have the option to wear more or less. I can’t wait!

      Thank you Ashley! I am getting ready. (Few things still in the laundry though…) If it isn’t a beach vacation it makes it so much harder to pack I think!

    I love each and every look you’ve put together Rachel! Tights and a flowy cardigan is my go to flight attire. I’m a huge fan of cardigans that can double as blankets…in fact I’m wearing one today. I love to feel cozy in case it’s drafty on the flight. I’m absolutely loving that yellow skirt! Where’s it from?!

      Thanks Anna Belle! That’s what I was going for. I usually pack a bunch of accessories and don’t end up wearing them, so I just wanted to keep it simple this trip and focus on my birthday outfit πŸ˜‰

    All of the outfits are so stylish and beautiful. I’m sure you will look fantastic. I also dress in layers when I travel, even during the summer and always like to wear cardigans and comfortable clothes (such as leggings with tunics). I wish you a wonderful birthday and a life full of love, happiness and good health. Have an amazing trip to Vegas.
