I’m excited to share a quick packing list post with you today!
A few weeks ago Michael and I visited Dunwoody, Georgia, for the very first time – and though it was chilly, it was technically the start of spring during our visit. The team at Discover Dunwoody generously hosted our trip, which included a wonderful itinerary packed with lots of shopping, eating, drinking, and nature.
The low-key schedule called for comfort with a pinch of polish. While I probably could have gotten away with two outfits (one per day), I’ve really enjoyed getting dressed the past few months so I added a third.

I’ll admit there’s nothing particularly groundbreaking about this packing list, but I think it can be helpful to see what a real person packs for a trip.
For this getaway, I packed my smallest Away suitcase, the Daily Carry-On (currently only available in the U.K.). The weather during this trip was inconsistent; the temperatures were in the mid-40s at night, but in the high-60s during the day. This meant relying on two types of jackets: a blazer for the day, and a wool coat for the evening.

Thankfully, Dunwoody is a short drive away, so we had the luxury of leaving our coats in the car when not in use. Like my garments, my color palette for this trip was a mix of seasons: I took the chance to “lighten up” my dark garments by pairing them with light neutrals like cream and almond. And in honor of the first day of spring, I tossed a floral scarf in at the last minute (groundbreaking).
Let’s get to the good part – here is everything I packed for a weekend in Dunwoody, plus a few outfit photos:

This mix-and-match packing list was perfect for an early spring weekend in the Atlanta area. Dunwoody style leans more toward classic suburb than on-trend urban area, and I chose to honor that with these items. With our easygoing plans, I felt perfectly at home at every stop on our itinerary. I’d pack it all again in a heartbeat!
