Yesterday I mentioned that in my effort to be a responsible adult I decided to plan ahead and pack for my trip well in advance as opposed to the day before. Well it is the day before and I happy to say that I am I am all set and ready to go. No stress. Just lots of excitement. As promised here are the 16 outfits that I managed to fit into 1 carry on. The secret is to pack pieces that can be mixed and matched in a number of different ways and be worn several times.
Outfits 1 and 2: I was soo excited when I found this leopard maxi skirt and I plan on wearing it at least twice during my time away.
Outfits 3, 4 and 5: You know how people always say the best way to maximize your wardrobe is by changing up your accessories. Well I plan on doing the reverse of that. I love my Nine West Look Global sandals so I plan on wearing them all week. They also look great with a gold bag and necklace. I am keeping the same accessories but just changing the clothes.
Outfits 6 and 7: Red Shorts. Need I say more. The best thing is that when I get back I can replace the shorts with red skinnies and I will have two more outfits to add to my rotation.
Outfits 8, 9 and 10: Black Shorts. Black is extremely versatile so I always recommend packing a few black pieces. These shorts are doing triple duty and can easily be swapped for a pair of black skinnies for an additional 3 outfits.
Outfits 11, 12 and 13: Did I mention how obsessed I am with these shoes. I had to get two pairs. Shoes take up a lot of room so make sure you choose your shoes wisely. If you are only going to wear them once you may want to rethink your choice.
Outfits 14, 15 and 16. Even though we are well into fall I am not ready to put away the maxi dresses. They dont take up much space and can be worn to the beach, shopping or dining out. If it is gets chilly a jean jacket and/or pashmina will do the trick.
