Easter Pastels

Weekend packing can be so hard sometimes.  I always find myself boarding the train and thinking, damn if only I had learned in my early years to be one of those ridiculously and marvelously light packers who totes around a purse with all the bare essentials and manages to look impeccably chic.  But alas I'm one of the other types of chic travelers.  I'm by genetics an excessive over-packer.  I will pack every "essential" I "need" for each individual outfit+make-up+jewelry+hats,scarves, and etc. even if I do not necessarily wear it.  But I like to keep my options open.  This evenings feature slew of posts will be my exploration through what to pack for Easter weekend wardrobe?

The absolute essentials:

2-3 different bottoms: 1 pair of pants + shorts, skirt, or a dress
1 blazer/jacket
1-2 sweaters/cardigans (neutral)
2-3 tops
2 pairs of shoes (1 flat, 1 heeled)
little stockings
...and of course must not forget under garments!
1 belt
a couple of headbands, scarves
hat, scarf, gloves
basic jewelry (absolutely pack new DIY necklace)
basic make-up

This Northeastern weather is throwing me through a loop recently, so figuring out what to wear is like trying to draw a map of the Bermuda Triangle.  It seems everyone who lives in this vicinity of the nation, by observation, is going through the same conundrum.  Hopefully soon we will be in the full bloom of spring and bare legs because I too like many would like to put away my tights and heavy coats for good!
