There can be substantial differences, here in San Diego-land, between being on the Coast and even a short way inland. So… definitely bring sweater and shoes you’d be comfortable in in cool-ish weather. It is rarely 80 in coastal San Diego, where I am. But frequently close to that more inland. You may well find yourself in two or more climates in the same day.

Definitely capris. Unless you are the type that considers 62 degrees to be “freezing” - and, if you do, you will have plenty of company around here. That’s not me as I live in Maine part of the year. But you will find some people who think 60 degrees is parka weather, lol.

Sundresses - maybe, maybe not. Do you know exactly where you are going to be and how much you’ll be moving around geographically? I am usually wearing short-sleeve tops now in the coastal climate (cardigan handy for sea breezes etc.); infrequently wearing sleeveless. When I am 5 miles inland (maybe less), short sleeve or sleeveless and cardigan not often needed.
