Summer (teen) packing list … destination Cape Cod

Cape Cod, packing list

Cape Cod is the summer destination for many people living on the east coast and millions of visitors from around the world. Recently, Hannah was invited to go on a trip to Cape Cod.  This will be her first long trip away from home without us.  Our little girl is growing up and seeing her stepping out, be more independent, and making decisions is exciting.  For the trip she wanted to pack everything in one suitcase, enough basic clothes for 8-10 days and like most teens, still look cute and fashionable.

When I think of Summer and Cape Cod, the look is preppy, nautical, with mixed prints and patterns.  Looking at Hannah’s selection of clothes, I think she did a great job of pulling together her wardrobe.  I see many options to mix and match the pieces to wear for various occasions and activities, from dressy to everyday casual, to going to the beach, on a boat or out shopping.

I remember when buying a two-piece swimsuit and it came as a set, if one of the two pieces didn’t fit or a different style or color for the top was desired, another set was purchased.  Many retail stores are now selling swimsuits not as a set but offer more choices as individual pieces. By mixing and matching you can create your personal look in many styles.  Hannah will be bringing two tops and three bottoms to make 6 different looks.
