I'm a flight attendant so about 90% of my time, I'm in my "fantastic" uniform. The other 10% of the time, I'm in comfy clothes (like jeans and sweats). Besides the uniform, there are some great benefits to being a flight attendant. Like all the travel benefits I get. This spring, I'm planning my first trip to New England. I'm really want to go to either Nantucket or Cape Code and I have no idea of what I should pack. I don't think jeans and sweats will get me through the week.
I'm 24 and I have a relaxed, easy going style. I'm curvy (hour glass figure) and about 5'6". I would love to come up with a few mix and match pieces that would be prefect for my trip. I love J.Crew but I don't have a huge budget to work with. Any suggestions?
Boots - Real wellies are about $100, these are close in style for $20 from Target.Sweater - A few stripes are nautical and cute.
Jacket - A little canvas jacket will keep you warm.
Jeans - Find a pair that can be dressed up or down.
Tote - Another northeastern classic.
Scarf - For a little extra warmth.
Notebooks - These pocket sized notepads are great for jotting down the directions to your favorite chowder house.
Earrings - Simple studs.
Have a great time!

Thought I might add a few packing tidbits:
I just returned from a weekend in Maine, and it was COLD! I was grateful for the "just in case" down jacket and gloves I had packed. A cute hat and light scarf would have been perfect layers against that stiff sea breeze.
I love this look! Since I am moving to the east coast, I think I need to buy the entire outfit and wear it EVERY DAY. :)
PSSST! Nantucket and Cape Cod are in Mass., not Maine! ;)
The coast in Spring can definitely be chilly as well as hot at times too! Very cute outfit but definitely make sure to also bring a warm sweater or two & a fleece especially for the evenings. Have a great time exploring - I love spring at the beach. Not too hot & NO crowds!
Thanks for the geography tip! I'm a total dummy when it comes to the East.
I live in MA... make sure to have a jacket and umbrella!! Spring in New England tends to be pretty rainy. :) Enjoy! Nantucket is beautiful. Depending on when you are visiting you should make sure to check which festivals are happening there at the time --
maine, cape cod, either way, it's going to be chilly! it's in the high 40s in boston right now, so be sure to bundle up.
that said, i find rain boots to be uncomfortable for long jaunts. canvas slip-ons might be a better idea (better for walking on the beach!).
Very cute! What are your thoughts on horizontal stripes?
I love thin horizontal stripes. It is the big jailhouse-style stripes that can be problematic.
The Vineyard and Nantucket tend to be a little cooler than the mainland, so pack a few "extras" for layering. And enjoy our New England.
And mosquito repellant!
