Casual Weekend Wear and Chilling with Friends
I’m off to Lake Tahoe this weekend and not a moment too soon. The weather is turning chilly again, (typical late spring weather here), so I’m bringing layers. Sweaters and scarves will be my friends this weekend. I’m packing flat shoes, one hat for the drive and comfy clothes. It’sĀ all about chilling with friends and decompressing.
We hit the library yesterday to load up on books. I got several but the one I’m most looking forward to is The Swans of Fifth Avenue. It’s all about the scandalous, headline making relationship between Truman Capote and Babe Paley. He betrayed her confidence and it didn’t go well for him! I love that kind of soap opera stuff when I’m looking to unwind.
I’m taking my Chico’s jacket and necklace to dress things up a bit, if we go out to dinner locally.
It’s a very relaxed atmosphere at Lake Tahoe so this passes for dressed up in most places.
When we arrive, I’ll switch these flats for my Uggs because I just heard they are expecting snow!Ā I’m packing my knitting too. I love to sit by a fire and knit, if someone puts the TV on.
My daughter’s flight just left Paris for Casablanca so I’ll be holding my breath a bit until she arrives safely., then I will really start relaxing!
See you tomorrow for Style Sweet Spot!
Have a great weekend!

Sounds like the weather here in the UK. Hope you have a fab time and sun comes out.

Enjoy Tahoe! xo
I love your sunglasses…where do I find them? they look perfect on you
I LOVE that Chicos Jacket. I have loads of jacket from them and I love how they never really go out of style. You look fab!
They’re really do versatile! I love mine too!
Hi Jennifer,
I love Chicos! Cute outfit! I have one similar.
Janice
Love the statement necklace with the T. Great choice for an evening as it’ll be appropriate for many places. You’re not a kindle fan then, I say smiling. I adore my kindle for travelling.
I have some E books on my Ipad but really love the feel of a book in my hand. Old fashioned yes, but more enjoyable for me. Plus this is a car trip so there’s no bag limit š
Love this outfit! One of my favorites! Let us know how the book is!
It’s great so far!! I love the chance to decompress and read.
Have a wonderful time! I hope you will send is lovely pictures!
Thanks Nancy!
Hope that you have a wonderful time! (And also that your daughter’s flight takes place without incident.)
Your “dress-up” outfit looks great. Would love to see a complete packing list, especially since you’re packing for a range of temperatures. Always a challenge.
She arrived safely thank goodness. I always worry until she gets home. I brought sneakers, jeans, 2 pair ponte knit pants, 2 cashmere sweaters, 2 long sleeve t-shirts, 2 pair flats, I pair uggs, down vest, parka, 1 silk/rayon scarf, 1 cashmere wrap, wool fedora, I chambray shirt, 3 tank tops for layering, pj’s, robe and slippers. Whew that sounds like a lot but it fit in 1 small bag plus a tote.
LOVE putting leapard shoes with jeans and jacket! LOVE this look altogether!
I especially like those sunglasses…wish I could find something similar in “reader” type sunglasses as I’d totally do them!
You look amazing!
Thanks so much Cricket! I love a touch of leopard with most things.
You look great! And we have similar tastes in escapist books. Going off to buy that.
Have a fabulous weekend in Tahoe!
Thanks Andrea!
Hope you also brought chains for your car as well as some snow shoes! It’s more like January, not late May, in Tahoe this weekend.
It’s cold here!! I’m glad I brought gloves and a coat.
