eta 26 june 2016, bolded is what was packed and needed in the end

Expectations:

• Weather is in the highs of 60s to low 80s and lows of 50s to high 40s
• Layering is key, meaning versatility is key!
• Black purse, black tote, everything around black (but not New York levels of black-on-black)

Clothes

• Outerwear
  • Either Everlane swing trench or Madewell army jacket
  • Everlane navy blue parka (?)
  • Sweaters: light grey, ...
  • Cardigans: CDG, ...
• Tops
  • Button-ups (long sleeve): four (dark blue, light blue denim, blue stripe, polka dot--two would have been sufficient)
  • Button-ups (short sleeve): denim, linen, but not all (two blue linen, one white linen, both short sleeve denim tops--one of each would be enough)
  • Tees (loose + __stripes__): stripes are a must of every weight!! (black and navy heavy weight; light weight navy--i didn't need the grey tee)
• Dresses
  • Short sleeve striped dress--it didn't get hot enough to wear the polka dot linen one
  • _ (something fancier for Vicky's wedding rehearsal--in all likelihood, I'll buy something at home)

  • Lounging/exercise: exercise pants, shorts, easy shirts (ideally, covered above; no need to bring clothes I would never wear outside)

Shoes

• New Balances + socks
• Birks
• Leopard print flats: this time, i had to force myself to wear these out
