Real (approachable) Style Advice for Real (grown-up) Women with Real (smart) Budgets |
|
Hello and Happy Monday! I’m coming to you a day late this week after a great weekend in Ohio celebrating my youngest son’s graduation from Miami University. My other two guys rented a car and drove in from Chicago, so we were all together for the weekend, which made it even more fun and special. We had a blast celebrating with Conor’s friends and their families, and enjoying the wrap-up of four successful (and very, very fun!) years… 7 years counting our middle son's time there. Now Bill and I are celebrating the end of three college tuitions and three gainfully employed kids. 🥂🎓 We’re also psyched to kick off summer here in Newport, with visits from the three boys and their friends starting this week. Bring on the cookouts, beach days, and late nights— SUMMER! ☀️🏖️ |

2. What I Packed in my Carry-On✈️ for a College Graduation Weekend |
|
With unpredictable weather and a mix of casual and celebratory events, I kept it simple with a mix-and-match capsule wardrobe that fit easily in a carry-on. Before I packed, I took a little extra time to try on and photograph each outfit—not just to share here, but to help keep myself on track and avoid packing mistakes. It made such a difference knowing exactly what I’d wear each day, and everything mixed and matched easily. Here’s what I brought: 3 tops, 2 bottoms, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 dress, 1 jacket, 1 bag, and a comfy travel pants—all chosen to work together and make getting dressed a breeze all weekend. Scroll down to see the pieces, the outfit combos, and links to available or similar items in case you’re planning your own spring getaway soon! 👗👟🧳 |
