We’re heading on a little local getaway in a couple of days! It’s already feeling like summer here, but I haven’t fully transitioned to my summer capsule wardrobe yet. I feel like our upcoming trip is the perfect opportunity to test out a few items for summer and get a feel of what I want to include. We’ll be gone for a total of 10 days, so I put together a little summer travel capsule wardrobe for the trip. Here’s a full list of what I’m packing, where I got it, and some outfit ideas!
I’ve chosen 20 items for the 10 days, including shoes and accessories. It might seem like a lot, but we’ll be staying in two separate places – the first will be really hot, and the second will be a bit more mild – so I need to work with two slightly different temperatures. We also have an event to go to for Jason’s work so I needed to bring something appropriate for that. And I just personally prefer to have some variety to choose from when I travel, so all in all that got me to 20 items. It at least all fits in one weekender bag, which is my limit for travel.

Hey Emily I just started following your blog and I absolutely love your style! Your travel capsule was extremely helpful for summer getaways and I’m looking forward to seeing your full summer capsule!
Thank you! I’m so glad you found it helpful 🙂
Love your wardrobe for travel except for the shoes! Unrealistic for your feet to be comfortable walking a ton in the shoes you suggest.
Actually the sneakers are very comfortable walking shoes 🙂 The sandals are more for the beach, and the heels for any dinners/nights out so I had myself covered!
Hi! I love the homemade linen tank! Do you have any tips or instructions on how to make my own?
Thanks! I love all the outfits!
It’s such a good essential piece! The pattern and instructions are free here: https://blog.fabrics-store.com/2017/08/29/essential-linen-tank-tutorial/ You can print the PDF at home. That entire blog has some really great patterns!
