How to pack for a 3 day beach weekend

for 3 days like I'm going away for a month, to a foreign country, where anything can happen. My dad and Hunter constantly pick on me for how much I pack when we take trips. Look, you never know what you may encounter so one must be prepared! Can I get an amen, hollabackatcha girl?!

So, if there are any fellow ladies out there like me, this post is for you. And your "obtrusive" packing skills.

ONE: Locate large enough bag to carry enough clothes in it for a week. This includes any and all outfits for warm days, hot days, and the awkward freezing-butt-off days THAT CAN HAPPEN. I have seen it with my own eyes, ya'll.

**Tip: I like to carry large duffel bags - it's payback for all the rib jabbing I get in regards to said packing skills earlier from Hunter. Because my southern gentleman carries my bags ladies.

TWO:  Lay out each outfit for each day. This includes the top and bottoms, shoes, back-up shoes in case prior shoes fail you, and accessories.

THREE: Pack a couple of extra "nice" outfits in case you go out to a "nice" dinner. This includes shoes and accessories as well.

FOUR: Realize you don't like certain said outfits and would rather take that super cute romper you forgot you had instead. Repeat step two, and three if necessary.

FIVE: Grab a glass of wine because husband/future husband/boyfriend/general male has entered room and exclaimed in shock that you're over-doing the packing again. When in fact you have strategically planned this out. Men, what do they know.

SIX: Dump out entire contents of bag. Throw in all bathing suits, cute cover-up, and flip flops, and call it a day. You're going to be on the beach for goodness sake. Clothes, at this point, are optional.

**Totally kidding on optional clothing Ash... Nude colony will not be formed this weekend. Ha!

SEVEN: Finish glass of wine. Pour another for a job well done on the packing skills you have mastered successfully.

You're all ready to go!
