To The Fashionable Over Packer...

Being the fashion lovers we are, we know what it means to really overpack. You know those quick weekend getaways that only require a small duffle but somehow turns into a full three piece luggage situation? Yep, that’s definitely been us in the past. So, how does the fashion forward woman who wants to bring it all pack effectively while not compromising her many looks she has pre-planned? We’ve got a few tips that have helped us and could potentially help you as well.

First things first, versatility is everything. You want to choose items that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. Think basics like neutral colored tops, bodysuits and bottoms that can be easily paired with statement pieces and a pair of jeans or trousers. Pack versatile dresses and skirts that can also be dressed up or down. By selecting pieces that can be styled in various ways, you'll maximize your outfit options without having to bring your entire closet.

Our next tip is to choose lightweight pieces and pieces that are good for layering as well. Lightweight knits, silk blouses, and chiffon dresses are great options and when following rule number one, this will only enhance your outfit options. Additionally, layering is your best friend. Pack a few lightweight cardigans or jackets that can be layered over different outfits to create new looks. This way, you can adjust your outfit based on the weather or occasion without having to bring separate bulky items.

Finally, please don’t skimp on the accessories. We give you permission to bring all the necklaces, bracelets and rings. Why? Because you’re already placing some reasonable limits on your wardrobe, now the accessories can come in and completely change the vibe of your look by layering simple necklaces or piling on gold bangles. We always say the devil is in the details so let the devil play and pile on the accessories. Also, don’t forget to always pack a single pair of sneakers, heels and sandals or boots depending on the season. So, be honest, are you an over packer or an under packer? Your secret is safe with us.
