Hey ya’ll!

So if you haven’t gauged from my Insta, I’m still on a high about this last weekend’s trip to Austin. My girlfriends and I had such a good time major bonding and just letting loose in true girls weekend fashion.

ICYMI : read the previous post about the importance of girls weekends

The city just the coolest.

Cool vibes, cool people, cool buildings, cool clothing…

really, really COOL.

More deets coming in my soon-to-be-posted Austin Travel Guide, but until then, I wanted to share with you how my packing turned out.

If you’re wanting to “do as the Austin-folk do” and are looking for inspo around what to wear while touring this amazing city, keep reading…

How to Achieve “Austin Style”

I kinda want to pat myself on the back as I pretty much wore everything I put in my suitcase for this trip… which rarely ever happens.

Basically, I opted for a few key items I felt would allow me to achieve “Austin Style”:

– denim cutoffs: to show off some leg in hopes of getting those pasty

– flowy tops: to layer over a cute bralette for an ounce of sexy

– floral dress: in the case I wanted to dress up my day

– suede jacket: in the case it got chilly and because suede is

– a pair of western-ish booties: made for walking around town and fitting in

– a pair of sneaks: you know, for walking and looking cool

– a few accessories: ones I could mix and match each day (boho earrings, layering necklaces, a brimmed hat, western style belt, tortoise sunnies and a wicker bag)
