So this past weekend we decided to spend our Labor Day weekend in San Francisco. The Yankees were playing so of course it was not hard to convince Garett😉
Last post I talked about packing a capsule wardrobe to lighten the load of what you pack. The purpose of a capsule wardrobe for me it to pack less but still have many options for outfits. My “packing palette” for this capsule was black, white, and blue. I also put out the disclaimer that I am in no way a pro at this yet, but well on my way. So I posted the picture of what I was taking minus the extra things I just felt I NEEDED to have. An extra cardigan, another pair of black yoga pants, and some plain t-shirts. I always pack 3 extra t-shirts in the colors of black, grey and white. See a trend? I don’t think you can go wrong with these colors as they match just about anything. Most of my basic items I actually like to spend a little extra on just to make sure they are quality and last longer. Now as for handbags, I definitely packed way too many. I packed 4 handbags for essentially a 2 day trip, lol. Lesson learned.
Day 1 Travel and Sightseeing….
I traveled in a pair of Lululemon leggings and a tank top, they are the most comfortable for me, and they breathe well and provide movement. We arrived at the hotel and quickly changed over so we could head out and see the city and grab a bite to eat. My first outfit was another pair of leggings, cute top from Nordstrom and my jean jacket from Abercrombie, threw on my Chuck Taylors because they are always the most comfortable to stroll around the streets in. We went to Pier 39 and ate Boudin’s (amazing clam chowder in a bread bowl). Next we headed to grab coffee at Biscotti (my all-time favorite cookies). You get a cookie with your coffee, this is a must try if you haven’t already. Then we just walked around taking in the sights. Didn’t sign up in time for a tour of Alcatraz so the picture of it in the background will have to do until I go back. We then headed to Ghirardelli for ice-cream. It was way too cold and windy for ice-cream but you can’t be in San Fran and not try it, or at least that was my reasoning.
Day 2 Yankees Game
Headed to the Yankees game first thing, not enough time for breakfast because I overslept. So my RXbar and coffee were exactly what I needed to start the day. My outfit was typical Yankees gear, I recycled a pair of the black yoga pants threw on my jersey, jean jacket, and hat then off we went. The game was interesting (for Garett) lol. I am trying to get into baseball, but to be quite honest I really only pay attention when Judge or Stanton are up, hehe. After the game was over we headed out to catch some places on our to-see list before sunset. No time for an outfit change. First we went to see the Painted Ladies, which are the backdrop of Full House, gosh I loved that show. It was beautiful. Next we headed towards the Golden Gate Bridge. I really wish I could have gotten better pictures, but there was barely any sun and it was very windy.
Then we headed to dinner, outfit number two I wore white jeans, black t-shirt, and that extra cardigan I was talking about before. This was the best dinner I have had in a very long time. We went to the Crab House they are well known for their killer crab. Just promise me if you go to San Fran you will try this place. I give it 5+ stars for not only service but quality of food. We finished off the night with another coffee from Biscotti and then headed home for our early morning drive back home.
Yes this was a quick trip but it was so much fun. Garett and I love our little getaways no matter how quick they are. As for my capsule wardrobe, I definitely took too many handbags, I honestly only needed the mini backpack for the day and the Chanel WOC for night. I am excited because we have so many trips planned in the upcoming months. I hope you continue to follow along because I want to share all the fun places to go. Next up is Portland🤔 can’t wait to go never been. October we are headed to Texas, Oklahoma, Big Bear, and Virginia. November going to Las Vegas. December we are headed to Lake Tahoe for Christmas.
In addition my goal is to get Packing like a Pro down. So the capsule wardrobe will continue. I will be adding more fall colors also and playing with many different textures and prints. My fall Trunk club is on its way can’t wait to do a blog post on the items I receive
