What I Packed for a Fall Week in Carmel & Chicago

I recently returned from a week away in Carmel and Chicago for a Natalie Borton Designs pop-up event as well as some product sourcing for an upcoming collection that I cannot yet share about (sorry!).

You know you can always count on me to share the packing list, so keep on scrolling for everything that made it into my bag. The weather was in the 60s for most of it, though we did get some warmer weather in the 70s for one or two of the days. As always, I only packed a carry-on and a tote and I felt like I had a ton of options:

TOPS:

• Black high neck tank

• Cream high neck tank (or in white here)

• Denim button-up shirt (Natalie15)

• Cream crop tee (Natalie15)

• Black crop tee (Natalie15)

• Striped long sleeve top

• Black cashmere turtleneck

LAYERS:

• Dark brown cashmere cardigan

LOUNGEWEAR & ACCESSORIES
