I am back home today after a whirlwind quick Road Tripto Sacramento this weekend.

I have mentioned before herejust how much I love road tripseven when they are just a one nightlike this weekend.
There is just something about getting outandawayto new vastnessthat renews my soul and spiritlike a great big exhale.

For me a great Road Tripis always made even betterwith clothesthat meet the needs of car travelas well as  being appropriateno matter where the Road might take us!
So for mea great Road Trip Outfithas to be comfortableand easy to style up or down depending on the destination!
I was ever so happy with my chosen pieces for this trip!

Since we have my daughter's wedding coming up this MayI have cut back on my wardrobe spendingto ensure having some extras that I know will be coming up for the big day and before.
I have made cutting back and working with what I havewhile just sprinkling some new inexpensive piecesinto my wardrobea personal Creative Challenge.
I firmly believetrue personal styledoes not have to come with a big budget.
So in the coming monthsyou can expect me to be sharing many inexpensiveadditions to  update my Personal Style.

I am ever so happy with my recent TJ Max purchase of this Free People jacket for under $30I love the back detailand the peplum cut that layers over my long tunicscreating a  flattering and slimming silhouette.
My alpaca fedora hat from Montecristi Panama Hatswas an investment piece I made on one of my trips to Napa ValleyandI know it will continue to serve me for years.I know it's really fall when I can finally wear it again!
A great hat is always one of my travelmust haves!It always ensures  style polish without having to worry about styling my hair.

I found this Navajo inspired wrap at Target recently.I wanted to add some color to my wardrobe of neutral solidsand this piece handled the job perfectly.

It's a fabulous bang for my wardrobe buckcoming in againunder $30!A blanket wrap is also perfect for car rides as well!
You can see how some  great basicscan be quickly be style upgraded with some well chosen pieces!And they don't have to always be investment pieces!
I added a trendy ankle boot again from Targetfor under $50to immediately upgrade my existing pieceslike these NYDJ from last year.
On a road trip I always travel with a nice flat shoethat I can slip on and off in the carplus a dressier shoelike these ankle bootsthat I can instantly dress up any casual outfit! 

When I travelI like to choose one accessory wardrobefor this trip it was definitely my turquoisewith one bold charm bracelet thrown in for good measure!





As always my friends
