There was an overwhelming request for our next packing guide. It honestly seems like most, if not all of you are heading to Nashville this spring! While I have never been, It is on my list of places I have to see. When I think of Nashville, FUN is the first word that comes to mind. From the food, the tours and the music there are so many cool things to do and so many cute things to wear. While I tend to be an over-packer I have put together a curated list of cute pieces that can be mixed and match to have you looking and feeling good. Here are a few things I recommend for your Nashville getaway…

The Drop Ruffled-Shoulder Smocked Midi Dress

A must have item for a trip to Nashville is a great dress. I love a dress that works for a night out on the town or can be dressed down with cool kicks for sightseeing. This midi dress is lightweight and super comfortable. The perfect piece to have on hand!

  • Gap Eyelet Mini Dress // A white dress is is always classic and always feels fresh. Can dress it up or down. It’s a must pack item!

• 2 Pants
  • Wide Leg Jeans // A great pair of jeans are a must. I am loving the wide leg trend to pair with slimmer tops. If the weather is on the warmer side a wide leg jean won’t feel so constricting.
  • Wile Leg Linen Pants // These pants are effortless. Lightweight and so on trend. Perfect to pair with tees or tanks for sightseeing. Dress them up at night with smocked or cropped tops and sandals.
• One 2 Piece Set // Sets are a big trend and they also work double time! Wear the set as is, but then break it up and pair the skirt with tees and the top with denim. So many chic looks!
