After a week long drive up California’s coast, I have my road trippin’ attire down pat.

Beanie – for bad hair days and for when the sun sets and it starts getting chilly.

Sunglasses – you should always carry sunnies, but especially when road trippin’; lots of staring out at the beautiful scenery to do, and you don’t want to be squinting the whole time…

Zip-up fleece – easy on, easy off, and it’s warm!

Layers – it’s better to remove layers of clothing if it gets too warm, than to freeze your buns off.

Comfy pants – leave your designer jeans at home, unless they’re the comfiest pants you have, and you don’t mind sitting in them all day. And getting them a little dirty.

Strappy outdoor sandals – I LOVE my North Face sandals because I can slip them on or off easily, and climb rocks or trails if needed. They’re perfect for any adventure.

Here are some more pictures from our day at Morro Bay:
