What I Wore to Palm Springs, 5 Days in Outfits

I recently attended a conference in Palm Springs called Alt Summit. I shared my packing list earlier, and these are the outfits I wore that came from it. Some items are obviously similar replacements, but for the most part I stuck to my list and made everything work.

Wearing: Prada Timeless Sunglasses, Victoria’s Secret Leather Jacket (similar by J.Crew), Lou & Grey Signaturesoft Maxi Dress (similar by Raquel Allegra), Veja Esplar Sneakers. 

Day 1
We spent most of this day driving down from the San Francisco area to Palm Springs and made a few stops along the way. 

Wearing: Prada Timeless Sunglasses, Asos Midi Dress, Victoria’s Secret Leather Jacket (similar by J.Crew), Cuyana Leather Zipper Bag, Veja Esplar Sneakers.

Day 2
This was the first full day of the conference. I attended a lot of workshops, keynotes, lunch, and dinner on the town in this outfit.

Wearing: Prada Timeless Sunglasses, Wilfred Silk Camisole (similar by Wilfred), Cuyana Leather Zipper Bag, Babaton Cohen Pant, Veja Esplar Sneakers. 

Day 3
Another full conference day, ending with a TASK party.

Wearing: Prada Timeless Sunglasses, Victoria’s Secret Leather Jacket (similar by J.Crew), Wilfred Wool Dress (similar by Everlane), Veja Esplar Sneakers. 

Day 4
We checked out of the conference hotel, into another, then went hiking in the Painted Canyons. I wore these Lululemon leggings and this top, along with my Nike Free RN Shoes for hiking, then changed into the outfit above for dinner at Workshop Kitchen & Bar in downtown Palm Springs.

Wearing: Prada Timeless Sunglasses, Tiger of Sweden Linen Sweater (similar by Everlane), Girlfriend Collective Leggings, Nike Free RN Shoes, Tumi Tegra-lite International Carry-on, Cuyana Leather Zipper Bag. 

Day 5
This was our last day in Palm Springs. We checked out of the hotel, had lunch with my brother in the high desert, then drove the rest of the way back to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Do you end up using all of the items that you pack? I feel like I had some extras in this list, but I’m still glad I had them as options.
