What To Pack For A Weekend in Austin, Texas

We just got back from a beautiful wedding weekend in Austin, Texas. There was lots of fun, sun, love and of course, BBQ! Instead of packing a ton of outfits (like I usually do), I decided to keep it simple and try to get the most out of just a few pieces for our short 48 hour stay. 

1 carry-on, 2 days, 3 outfits. Here's what I recommend throwing in your bag if you find yourself visiting Austin for a couple days!

PACKING LIST:

T-Shirt

Romper

Cardigan

Denim Shorts

Bathing Suit

Elevated Dress (for a nice dinner or in my case, the wedding)

Comfortable Sandals or Sneakers

Heels

Leather Belt

Tote Bag

Carry-On Cocktail Kit

Face Wash

Sunscreen

Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer

Lipstick

Mascara

Blush

Carry on sized Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash

Dry Shampoo

Toothbrush/Toothpaste

Razor

Unfortunately it was raining hardcore the first day we arrived so we were pretty limited on sightseeing prior to the wedding (waaaaa!). But we managed to pull through the day after, and take in a few sights. I was unable to wear 2 out of my 4 outfits on this trip, so I saved the others to shoot in SF since it was pouring. 

We stayed at the amazing Westin Austin at The Domain, which I highly recommend! Not only were they super accommodating, with an all around lovely atmosphere, but also walking distance to plenty of lively restaurants, upscale shops, and fun nightlife. If you are traveling as a family, all of the nearby amenities make it so easy for all ages to get to, and enjoy. Should you opt to stay on the premises, the hotel offers an indoor and outdoor American breakfast, lunch and dinner experience, with live music, at their onsite restaurant.

If you're visiting beautiful Austin in 48 hours as well, I have compiled a quick list of sightseeing below:
