Would you please suggest an outfit for a long weekend getaway in Orlando, Florida? Something to explore Universal theme park in? I believe it's a bit chilly in Florida at the moment. —M
Parts of Florida have been experiencing unseasonably cold weather this winter, so I'd wear a trench and cardigan on the plane. These will keep you comfy should the sun decide to hide on your vacation.
Theme parks are notoriously casual but that doesn't mean you can't look cute. And there are plenty of nice restaurants, bars and nightclubs to entertain grownups in the evenings, so if you plan on going out, pack a cute top and dark jeans or black pants for such occasions.
Here's some inspiration, click any outfit for details on the items shown:
Outfit 1
Classic: A classic trench is a travel must-have that goes from day to night, sunny skies to thunderstorms. Red leather flats from the Gap are a comfy yet chic way to get around.
Outfit 2
Casual Cool: I can't wear Converse sneaks myself (not enough arch support), but thousands (perhaps millions?) of people swear by them for comfort and hipster style. Add a boyfriend blazer to cover up if it gets cold.
Outfit 3
Going Out: There's tons of nightlife in Orlando, both around the theme parks and even downtown. A pretty top and black pants is laid back yet still fun enough for partying.
Florida readers/travelers: What did I miss??

Don't forget sunscreen! At theme parks you can forget and you can get insanely burnt.
As a Orlando local, I can tell you the further out one gets, the more deals (and less sold-out stuff) you'll find at the malls.
Recommend wearing a distinctive color and/or design top at the attractions to make easy for others in your party to locate you quickly at the parks.
You also might want to consider carrying a wallet and not a purse at the theme parks. Some rides at Universal absolutely require that you put your purse in a locker. I take a small zipper case with essentials like sunscreen, concealer and lipstick. Then I make my husband carry it:)
as a benefit to the layering, you can remove a layer if you get hot.
an additional hassle of carrying a purse into a theme park is the security checks. you can bypass them if you're not carrying anything. (and as others mentioned, you can't carry most into rides.)
