I’m getting ready to take a trip to my brother’s high school graduation next week. I’m always at a loss of what to take with me on my trip. It seems I always pack far more than I actually need. Fortunately, the latest TwitterMoms discussion proves to be a helpful tool for me as I’m planning my trip. Here are the five must-have fashionable pieces to pack for every weekend trip.
1) A comfortable pair of jeans for traveling. This has become especially important since I’ve started traveling with a young child. I need a pair of pants that can hold up drool, spilled juice, and other miscellaneous child-related stains.
2) A nice pair of heels. A good pair of heels makes me feel dressed up, regardless of whether I’m wearing them with a pair of nice jeans or a pretty dress.
3) My favorite pajamas. Slipping into something “a little more comfortable” usually means my favorite pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. They may not be considered “fashionable pieces” but they certainly help with my beauty sleep. That’s fashionable, right?
4) A nice button up blouse. It’s hard to go wrong with this wardrobe classic. I find they can be very versatile, and can be paired with a nice pair of slacks, a skirt, or my personal favorite – blue jeans.
5) Pretty accessories. I seldom get to wear earrings anymore. My son likes to use them to practice his hand-eye coordination. Needless to say, a few swift yanks and my earrings have been retired for the time being.

I haven't worn heels in yrs and my ankle probably wouldn't like it much. I live in jeans or pjs!

lol, Lori, I hear you on that one. I think that's why heels make me feel dressed up. I don't get to wear them very much. Mainly just on date/girls night once or twice a month. I've learned that it takes a lot of skill to wear 4 inch heels and balance a ten month old on your hip – that's an accident waiting to happen.
PJs and jeans are the lifeblood of my current wardrobe – those and my favorite pair of black "stretchy" cotton pants. Love them.
