Shoes/socks
Truly a staple... I easily get fatigued in shoes, but I have no problems with walking miles in these!

I’ve had my Columbias for 5 years now, and they are still some of the most supportive shoes I’ve own. It’s definitely worth an investment for a long-lasting hiking boot!
Hiking Boots & Shoes
They’re so comfy!! I love the patterns and just wearing these for a little pop of fun— especially if my outfit isn’t super fun otherwise.

I LOVE DARN TOUGH SOCKS. They help prevent blisters, keep my feet warm, and have really cute designs to elevate my hiking outfit!
Darn Tough Vermont
I’m a firm believer in having one sneaker that could match both a dressed-down and dressed-up look. I have some mauve Dunks that have accomplished thay so many times since I got them last winter.

Clothes
Old Navy has never done me wrong with their sports tops. The shelf bra is just enough to give me coverage without compressing so tight that it hurts. However, you can find compression bras with Old Navy if you need that coverage!

I use a men's flannel to achieve that oversized look. Bonus points if it's one of the flannels that wre thinner, so you can wear it in the warm season!
Men's Flannel Shirts
Old Navy’s sizing has made it where I don’t have to worry about not finding my size; plus, the colors they provide in different seasons make it so I can have my leggings compliment my flannels with no problem.

Depending on your size, Patagonia’s hiking pants are so comfortable! The thighs and calves fit me perfectly, and the waist has a built-in belt that allows me that cinched-in waist look.
Women's Hiking Pants
I call this my “Hobbit” outfit; I roll up the legs to my shins because I’m a shortie, and then add a cute t-shirt underneath, a flannel over it, and then sandals and boom! Easy outfit that takes less than 3 minutes to put together.

Equipment
Ideally, we use reusable water bottles so we don’t have to use throwaway plastic! I like to cover mine in stickers of places and events I’ve done as a little momento bottle.

I use an older version of a Sierra Designs daypack that I got from Target a long time ago, but having a water bladder on you back makes such a big difference when you’re on the trails! I’ve also used it for conventions and vacations where I assume I ...
Daypacks
Honestly, I feel like this is a given. I use mini s-biners to keep my house and car keys together since they don’t have key rings, and a regular carabiner to hold all of my keys with key rings on them. Plus, I can clip it to my purse or my belt loop ...
Carabiner Clips
I HATE BUG BITES. I get so itchy so easily and it’ll bug me for weeeeeks. I like to use the Clean Feel line for locations and outings where I know the bitings aren’t as frequent. I use the Deep Woods line for when I don’t know the area or I’m in a tr...

When I’m not using a Nalgene water bottle, I’m using a Simply Modern. The metal helps my water stay cool, which can really make a difference when I’m out in the heat.

I use the little hip bags as my crossbody bag and they work like a dream! Likewise, I’ve modified my daypack bag to work with the Cotopaxi clips so I can adjust it as an additional front bag for the bag to hold my phone, sunglasses, and keys when I’m...
