Camping Chic: Style in the Wild!

My friend invited me camping for the weekend. It will be in the middle/high 70s here. What are some packing necessities?
I already know jean shorts, undies, bras and some socks. What else do I need?
We understand – packing for a weekend trip can be totally stressful, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Camping clothes are all about function. The good news – this season is all about the outdoors. Designers are coming out with tons of styles using lightweight materials that are so perf for a getaway. Just ‘cause you’re roughing it this weekend, doesn’t mean your style has to suffer.
Glitter Jelly Flip Flops, $6, forever21.com
Jelly sandals are the perfect mix of fashion and function. Flip-flops can take you from lakeside to lunchtime in style. They come in tons of fun, bright colors and the flower accent adds a girly touch!
 
AE Relaxed Linen Pant, $45, ae.com
 Drawstring pants are an essential for anyone looking for comfort and class.  Pair with a spaghetti strap tank and your fave sandals for a relaxed look that’ll keep you cool in the heat while protecting you from the sun (and bugs!)
Madison Plaid Shirt, $40, delias.com 
Cotton button-ups are so versatile, it’ll be your favorite staple of your summer wardrobe.  Pair with jean shorts and a white tank, cuff the sleeves and you’re set!

Other necessities:
*A hoodie/fleece for nights by the fire
*Rain jacket (just in case!)
*Sneakers
*A hat
*Casual shorts and t-shirts
*Tons of socks!
Bathing Suit
*Old flip-flops for the shower
