They are not "precious" clothes that you have to worry about wearing.</p> <p>You might want to look at their dresses too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125568 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:54:36 +0000 Isabel 125568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a little late to the party, sorry !!</p> <p>My family takes a 16 day vacation every year to see family under the same geographical situations that you describe : we hike, we canoe, we go into city, etc.</p> <p>I bought this coat last year , in black, it is completely waterproof but looks like a spring coat:</p> <p><a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/63851?from=SR&#038;feat=sr" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop.....38;feat=sr</a></p> <p>It is a super lightweight coat that is great in your back pack if your are doing something sporty - but it looks fantastic in the city because the silhouette is that of a trench. It is also super for layering since it has no lining and it is a great windbreaker to boot.</p> <p>I also bought this shoe :</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3059216?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=oceania+shoe&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a></p> <p>It is mega comfortable and looks great with casual skirts, shorts or dresses.</p> <p>Finally, my favorite site for modern casual/sporty attire is athleta.com;</p> <p><a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=46843" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/.....?cid=46843</a></p> <p>This is a great lightweight skirt that has a pair of shorts underneath - you can ride a in bike them ! </p> <p>As always, bring a scarf and a pair of tights ( footless or not ) to layer.<br /> Happy travels </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125102 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:42:48 +0000 joyinindo 125102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone has great ideas! I just wanted to add (as someone who has driven from one end of the country to the other and back again...with 5 kids no less) that the weather varies a lot between Arizona, SoCA, and NoCA ( I was freezing in NoCA at the end of summer after sweating in SoCA...late August) so make sure you have that good cropped jacket and cardigans that Sarah mentioned. Especially in the mornings, it can be quite cold in places. Also, think about fabrics that won't wrinkle too easily since you'll be in the car as good bit.</p> <p>Have a blast on your road trip! How fun!!<br /> Blessings,<br /> Joy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125077 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:53:45 +0000 Sarah 125077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try a cropped denim jacket or some cropped cardigans.<br /> And don't forget a few fun accessories to keep things interesting. Scarves would be fun too, just the light ones for layering.<br /> Phoenix will be hot, but I bet CA will be cool enough for layers.<br /> I wish I lived up there so we could go shopping. But it is fun having my sister on YLF. :)<br /> If you get your things early enough, post photos so we can see what you came up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125074 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:49:01 +0000 julieanne 125074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the ideas! Wow Sarah, I was looking at getting a straw bag JUST like that. You'd think we were sisters. :)</p> <p>I have seen some great knit tops already that would be comfy and fun - I like the idea of a jacket for layering, because yes I am always cold!! I didn't want to be stuck in hoodies so that is a perfect solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125068 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:37:54 +0000 AJ 125068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 years ago, I went to spring training in Arizona (hubby is a Cubs fan) and then we continued on in a similar road trip. (Acutally we were on the road for 8 weeks and traveled the perimeter of the U.S.) I'm with Queenie, plan for pretty spring weather. Does your body run warm? Otherwise, I wouldn't count on the shorts. This was pre-YLF so I lived in jeans and long sleeves (I run cold) while we were in the states that you plan on visiting. Definitely needed a jacket for morning and evenings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125032 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:00:55 +0000 Queen Mum 125032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julieann- I grew up in SoCal (the LA area) and currently live in the Bay Area. I know it will probably be warmer in Arizona, but I for one am never in shorts yet in late March or early April. I'd plan for nice spring weather, but don't count on it being summer yet. Where exactly in Northern Ca will you be? It does make a difference... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125020 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:22:34 +0000 Sarah 125020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and fabulous shades and a bag like this<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Women/PRD~24908/24908.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navig...../24908.jsp</a><br /> and then maybe a cross-body bag like this<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/Merona-2-Zipper-Crossbody-Yellow/dp/B002UD2ZSU/ref=br_1_19?ie=UTF8&#038;frombrowse=1&#038;searchView=grid5&#038;searchNodeID=2201804011&#038;node=2201804011&#038;searchRank=salesrank&#038;searchPage=1&#038;searchSize=30&#038;id=Merona%202%20Zipper%20Crossbody%20Yellow" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Merona-2.....y%20Yellow</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125019 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:19:45 +0000 Sarah 125019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey sis! :)<br /> Khris and Kristine have some great ideas.<br /> I'd definitely pack some jeans for evenings (maybe white?)<br /> Clams or burmudas (Angie posted some KUT ones in the YLF store recently)<br /> Casual comfy tops (JCrew has some cute tanks and graphic tees)<br /> A cropped jacket<br /> One or two sundresses<br /> One or two pair of sandals<br /> One or two cardigans in fun colors<br /> Tanks (I love the nautical striped ones that Gap has now) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-125015 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:49:16 +0000 Kristine 125015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good shoes! Probably something in the sportier category, like Tevas or Privos? REI type gear will fit right in and be functional. A dark pair of skinny or straight leg jeans (with some stretch) can sit in the car for hours and still look good. Jersey shirts or cardigans don't wrinkle much so they might be useful too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-124985 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:12:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 124985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd suggest jeans, clamdiggers or bermuda shorts, lightweight tops andcardigan sweaters/light jackets for layering.<br /> Depending on how close to the coast you will be, the weather should be pretty nice by then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-124979 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:35:08 +0000 julieanne 124979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Oops, should have been under "What to Wear".) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-casualsporty-vacation#post-124978 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:33:17 +0000 julieanne 124978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are taking a 2-week road trip at the end of March/beginning of April through Arizona, San Diego, and northern California. I don't want to look frumpy, but need to be comfortable. I think the weather could go either way at that time of year, so I'm sure layers are a good idea, but I'd appreciate any other suggestions! (I included "sporty" since we will be going to several baseball games in AZ.) </p>
