Weekend Getaway Style
Going away for a weekend or just a night during the fall is one of the best things to do in Maryland. Especially if you go to the beach or somewhere that is the off-season, so I thought it would be fun to throw together a post outlining everything I packed for 2 very different weekend trips - a crab feast at the beach and a wedding at a quaint B&B.
But one of the biggest challenges is packing for a weekend getaway in Maryland, in the fall. The weather is all over the place and can be 40 degrees in the morning and by lunchtime, be in the 70s. So dressing for this kind of dramatic weather and knowing what to pack in a weekender bag can be difficult.
I have a few staples that I always pack when I go away in the cooler months - My comfiest denim, booties, and lots of layers.
What I Packed:
I'm giving you a pretty detailed rundown of everything I packed for these 2 weekends since they're so different! Both were packed in a small carry-on size suitcase, but would easily fit in a weekender bag (In my 3rd trimester, there's no way I'm picking up a bag to carry... so wheels it is!)
Weekend One: Eastern Shore Crab Feast
This is an annual trip hubby and I do each year and look forward to. We catch up with friends and are only away for one night, so it's pretty light packing!
2 casual tops
This camo shirt is perfect for layering during the daytime
CuddlDuds cowl neck tunic in wine
2 pairs of pants - My favorite pair of maternity leggings and a pair of dark-wash maternity jeans
1 pair of jammies - These are my go-to sleepwear pants and my favorite tank (y'all, I don't wear sets) -
2 sweaters
My open-knit cardigan has been my favorite for years (here's something similar)
My favorite chunky sweater in olive
Gray lightweight quilted vest
2 pairs of shoes
My favorite, go-to booties in Dark Taupe Suede are perfect for the evening when it gets cooler out along the water
These super comfy slip on sneakers that are great for wearing during the day
Other Stuff: straightener, blow dryer, 1 bralette, underwear, etc., tablet/charger, 1 book, and toiletries
Outfits
Daytime Outfit: I paired my camo top with my favorite maternity jeans and topped it off with my go-to cardigan and slip-on sneakers. This was such a comfy outfit and was the perfect amount of layering for cooler temperatures.
Daytime Outfit: CuddlDuds tunic with maternity leggings, slip-on sneakers, and gray quilted vest. A comfortable outfit for casual brunch, travel, or a day running errands.
Evening Outfit: Taupe Suede booties with jeans, chunky olive knit sweater, and bralette. A comfy, casual look for a night out when the weather is chilly.
WEEKEND TWO: Quaint B&B Wedding
One of hubby's best friends is getting hitched! And it's not far from home, but we had decided that this would be our last night away before Baby.
1 casual tops - This longsleeve black top with lace detail perfect for an evening out
2 pairs of pants - black maternity leggings and my dark wash denim
1 pair of jammies - love these gray lounge pants with a cute graphic thermal
3 sweaters
This lightweight gray sweater, perfect for layering
My obsession this fall... a gorgeous mustard duster cardigan from a local boutique
An oversized maternity sweater
2 dresses
This ruched gray non-maternity Leith dupe is the greatest for any occasion
A gunmetal blue dress for a fall wedding
4 pairs of shoes
Trendy snakeskin mule heels from a local boutique
Black studded booties for an evening out
Dusty pink loafer mules (for when my feet can't handle heels all night!)
Other Stuff: jewelry for all events, underwear, etc., toiletries, straightener, dry shampoo, slippers, cashmere scarf, poncho sweater wrap
OUTFITS
Daytime Outfit: Lightweight gray sweater, dark wash denim, dusty rose loafer mules, cashmere scarf. This outfit is a comfortable fall look for the day after an event, for running errands, or a coffee date!
Daytime Outfit: An oversized sweater with leggings and slip on sneakers is great for pre-wedding festivities in cold and windy weather.
Rehearsal Dinner Outfit: This Leith Dupe layered with this mustard duster and wine-colored kitten heels embodies the "it" colors this fall.
Wedding Outfit: A gunmetal blue strappy scuba dress, gray & black wrap sweater, Snakeskin mule heels
After-Party Evening Outfit: black shirt with lace detail, dark wash denim, and studded booties for a fun, casual look
For both weekends, I was able to pack my stuff and hubby's things in ONE BAG that is carry-on sized. The key is to pack versatile pieces that can be worn multiple ways or be rolled when packing.
