For our one-year wedding anniversary, the hubby and I have planned a trip to Las Vegas. While I've been there a few times, this will be his first trip, so I've got lots planned to see and do. I've learned from much business travel that it's easiest to pack a carry-on bag where possible so versatility and mixing-and-matching are definitely pluses. And don't forget, with flight security regulations, no large liquid bottles!
Here's the plan:
Day Time:
September weather in Vegas is extremely hot ( day time temperatures of ~40 degrees Celsius!), so comfort and coolness are crucial. For day-time, I've packed maxi dresses, a tank dress, and a silky flowy tank to be paired with cotton shorts. I'll be wearing flats most of the time because of all the walking we'll be doing. I've also brought a shoulder-bag for day-time sightseeing that can be used as a large clutch for evenings.
Evenings:
For evenings, we've opted to keep things relatively casual. However, for nights where we have a dinner or show planned, I've included a few dressier pieces. This includes a studded tank to be paired with silk cargo shorts, gold snakeskin pumps, and a large purple clutch (also used for day-time). For our dinner, I'll be wearing a coral-coloured strapless dress, which will be paired with the same pumps, and a smaller bag.
Accessories:
I've picked accessories that work for both day and night. This includes versatile skinny belts (for cinching-in the maxi dresses or paired with shorts) and necklaces, my trust Hermes clic-clac bangle, and a silk scarf that can be used indoors where the A/C tends to be a bit intense.
Toiletries:
I'll be sure to bring travel-sized versions of my favourite sunscreen, fragrance, and hair products. I've also packed a curling iron for dressier nights, and a flat iron for day. The hot weather sometimes causes my hair to do funny things, but the dryness also means that my attempts to curl my hair usually lasts.
