5 Clothing Essentials You Should Bring to Your Next Outdoor Adventure

Venturing out into the great outdoors is an excellent way to enjoy nature and get some physical activity. Apart from allowing you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can relax and focus on yourself while engaging in recreational activities like hiking, fishing, and camping. However, being outdoors also means being away from all the comforts you’re used to having at home.

While communing with nature and enjoying its wonders is a great experience, it’s important to remember that it can be quite harsh as well. Poor weather conditions, rough terrain, and exposure to all sorts of animals can turn your outdoor adventure into a miserable one. If you aren’t ready to deal with these challenges, you might not enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer.

That’s why you need to make the necessary preparations to ensure that you can stay comfortable even when conditions are less than ideal. Your choice of clothes to bring plays an important role in keeping you protected from these various elements, so make sure to pack along these five clothing essentials when you go on your next outdoor adventure.

Types of Shoes Everyone Should Own

A great pair of shoes can make or destroy an outfit in seconds. They are the epitome of accessories, the cherry on top of any outfit, and occasionally, they might even be more crucial than your actual clothing.

Shoes are the perfect investment since, with proper care, you may wear them for a very long time. You only need a few pieces you can wear with a wide range of outfits; you don't need a million possibilities.





You can choose timeless alternatives that you'll be equally delighted to wear when you pull them out of storage in the coming months if you forgo fast fashion and fashionable pairings.

With this list below, you may create the ideal shoe capsule wardrobe and never feel the urge to buy more.

Functional Fashion for Mom Life During Winter + Giveaway

My style is comfy, but I like to look cute. Sometimes it can be a struggle, but finding the right pieces to fit your lifestyle and wardrobe are key. Today I am sharing some of my favorite functional fashion basics to survive mom life during winter.

Versatile Fashionable Wear for Everyday Adventures

My fashion is versatile. I need pieces of clothing that can transform from gym to school functions very easily. My day-to-day life is running errands and constantly on-the-go so I don't have time to change my clothes over and over again through out the day.

Stylishly Sleep with Kohl's Plus Size Sleepwear


I have been sleeping in dingy t-shirts and old cheerleading shorts for over ten years. But I decided enough was enough. Not only did I hate looking into my drawer, but I hated trying to find something that I enjoyed sleeping in because it just wasn't there.

This post was sponsored by Kohl's. I was paid for this post and received the included sleepwear as compensation.

Kohl's has always been my go to shopping place for all the latest fashions for the entire family at great prices. And I have always enjoyed shopping there whether it be in store or online. Because I needed new everything, I decided to feature a variety of their plus size sleepwear including: Croft & Barrow, SONOMA Goods For Life, and Simply Vera Vera Wang. Although I bought five different sleep sets online from all three brands, these are my personal favorites.

Back to School Shopping with Schoola

Yes, you read that right. It is already time to start thinking about back-to-school season, especially if you want to score the good deals. Kids grow way too fast to pay full retail price for clothing. I try to buy marked down in any way I can. I have been shopping with Schoola since they first launched in 2013. They have clothes up to 70% off retail and I have had a great shopping experience since. I was excited to collaborate with Schoola on my very first back to school guide because they are company I believe in.

My Summer Cruise Fashion with AmiClubWear

We are getting ready for the cruise. It is less than two weeks away and I am already starting to pack. I have been so excited for this trip! It is our 10-year wedding anniversary, my husband and I have lost almost 85 pounds between us, and we are heading to Mexico for the first time! I have been very excited about dressing up each night for dinner on the cruise. So here are some outfits I am planning on bringing.



My Work Out Style with PACT Organic Clothing

As you may know, we have been on a fitness and healthy lifestyle journey. We have completely changed the way we have been eating and we have actually been using our gym memberships instead of just wasting money like we were doing before. We wanted to create a better life for ourselves and our children. We have been exploring our world too through hiking (I will share more on that later) and I want comfortable clothes to do that in.


PACT Organic makes super soft cotton clothing that is better for both people and planet because they use organic farming practices that don’t pollute the soil or water while partnering with organizations that protect the well-being of the people who make the clothes. Organic cotton doesn’t pollute the soil or air and uses 71% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. Growing organic cotton keeps farmers and their families safe because they are not exposed to toxic chemicals.

Playing Dress Up with Great Pretenders

My daughter is a huge fan of playing pretend, dressing up, and using her imagination. For the past few years her "dress up wardrobe" has expended. In fact, when we organized the play room, I decided to buy a child's size clothing rack for all of her play clothes. I have worked with Great Pretenders for the past two years on my Holiday Gift Guide. And each when they contact me, I am so excited to see their new quality, products at great prices.

Great Pretenders Dress Up Costumes

The Great Pretenders story is one that starts like many. Once upon a time, there was a mom troubled by the lack fun and imaginative toys for her children. Baffled by this, she set out on her ambitious journey to come up with creative, pretend-play toys that would light up any child's imagination. Fast forward; her endeavors transcended into a vastly successful dress-up and costume business which manufactures award-winning toys – an innovative leader in the pretend-play market for children.

Back to School Style with See Kai Run + Giveaway

We have actually been back in school for more than TWO weeks now here in Georgia. I love See Kai Run. I worked with them earlier this year for some super cute Easter shoes for my kiddos and they sent me a pair recently for my growing little man.

I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.


A child’s foot is different than an adult’s foot. Kids’ feet are constantly growing and changing, which is why they study kids’ feet and carefully consider every detail that goes into a shoe. All See Kai Run shoes are proportionally engineered for a child’s foot and designed to promote healthy foot development.
