Parenting Pointers: Fashion Must-Haves

As part of a TwitterMoms promotion I'm sharing "5 Must-have Fashionable Pieces to Pack for Every Weekend Trip."

I'm pretty basic when it comes to fashion - I don't dress really fancy or anything. I think comfort is more important on trips. That being said, there are a few things that go a long way.

1) A comfortable pair of khakis or black pants that won't wrinkle. That way if something comes up, you'll look fine, but they can also be worn for sightseeing.
2) A pair of Birkenstocks or similar sandals that match the pants. These are comfy for walking, and durable, but also look nice enough for business-casual type occasions.
3) Cute earrings, necklace, or hair accessory - this can help dress up an otherwise too-casual outfit.
4) A cute swimsuit. You never know when you'll find a pool/sauna/hot tub to relax in!
5) A cute cover-up. This can double as beachwear, or even in casual places as an extra outfit depending on the cover-up style.
