Vacation Style

This weekend is Labor Day weekend, perfect for a quick vacation to celebrate summer's last hoorah. I am headed to Lake Shasta in northern California to go houseboating so I thought I'd leave you with my guide to packing for a quick getaway.

The Rules

1. Everything should be easy to wear and comfortable. Nothing that will be ruined by wrinkles, or needs the sweater, or restricts movements.
2. Pack light. Bring one jacket that will go with all your outfits, choose items that can be reworn with only slight variation. If you are picking between two items pick the lighter.
    
3. Weather appropriate. If it is going to be 90 degrees all week, don’t bring a jacket, it’s just impractical. Don’t bring jeans to the desert, or shorts to the arctic. When you are packing for a long weekend you can’t afford to pack “just in case” items.

Here are three wardrobes for all your Labor Day adventure style needs.
