I’m Heading to L.A. for a 3-Day Workcation—Here’s What I Packed (and When I’m Wearing It)

I’ve been craving space. Not a vacation. Not a content trip. Just real space—to think, to write, to breathe without my calendar crowding me. And after months of pushing that feeling aside, I finally gave myself permission to take it. A little solo workcation in Los Angeles.

Not a full-blown escape. Not a hustle-filled trip either. Just three days to reset.

I booked a cozy hotel, mapped out a few coffee shops I’ve been dying to visit, and built an itinerary that was equal parts strategy session and slow mornings. And of course, I wanted to pack outfits that matched the energy of the trip.

Nothing too structured. Nothing too precious. Just pieces that feel relaxed but thoughtful—like I could be walking into a studio meeting or people-watching at a sidewalk café. When I saw the new Tuckernuck x Studio McGee collection, I immediately knew this was the vibe: breezy layers, soft neutrals, polished silhouettes that don’t try too hard.

The kind of clothes that move with you and say, “I’m taking myself seriously—but not too seriously.”
