So tell me: would you like more posts like this? 5 outfits for a long weekend on Cape Cod—and for once, I actually wore everything I packed. Want the links sent to you? Comment CAPE and I’ll DM them! At 56 and 6'1", I've become much less interested in packing more and much more interested in packing pieces that can do more. For a recent fall weekend on the Cape, that meant comfortable layers, denim, cashmere, a few great sweaters and jackets, and shoes I could actually spend the day walking in. I've been coming to Cape Cod for most of my life, so this is very much how I really dress when I'm here: casual enough for coffee and a walk by the water, layered for changing coastal temperatures, but still pulled together enough to head out for lunch or dinner. And I'm trying something a little different here. I'd love to start sharing more of my travels through the lens of personal style—what I pack, what I actually wear, the places we go, and a few of the things that make traveling easier. Save this one if you have a fall weekend trip coming up, send it to your favorite travel partner, and tell me in the comments: Are you a carry-on-only packer or a “but what if I need it?” packer?
