Chic Weekenders
November 25th, 2008Until recently, the virtues of a weekender were lost on me. I had a carry-on I could pack for a week in… why did I need another bag? Then an easy, breezy weekend away with friends popped up, requiring all that I pack be a bikini, makeup, a pair of sandals and three beach-ready dresses – all of which swam in the open space of my now (what appeared to be) enormous carry-on bag.
Fortunately, I had time to pick up a weekender – and am now a full-fledged convert. My clothes stayed neatly tucked into place (thus not wrinkling) and I still had room for my personal items and a couple of new skirts and dresses I bought in the seaside town we spent our days rambling around.
If you’re headed out of town for just a few days anytime soon, I’d highly recommend that you bite the bullet and snap up a chic weekender yourself. Some personal faves include:
With one of these fab bags in hand, you’ll want to pack up and hit the road a little more often. So call your friends and family across the state and around the country and let them know you’ll be coming for a visit sooner than they thought!
