The joy of travel! I’ve been prepping clients for their summer vacations, and now I’m getting ready for my own week-long trip to The Big Apple!
The questions is, if you visit ‘the city that never sleeps’, do you need twice as many outfits? (Scroll down to check out infinite outfits with only 14 items!)
The answer: maybe, but even so – we can absolutely get everything into a carry-on, and here’s how:
Keep Calm & Pack a Carry-On Tips:
- Build around 3 colours: 2 neutrals & 1 colour, or 1 neutral & 2 related colours
- Pack only items that can serve double- or triple-duty
- Reduce your ‘need’ for shoes!
- Bring spot remover & a mini laundry detergent
- Remember: if you forget something you can always buy a stand-in!
That’s IT! That’s ALL!
Want to see it in action? Let’s go to The Big Apple for a week…
These 14 items go from day to night, and from downtown to uptown on a walking & dining trip.
A pair of patterned denim is an unexpected & thoughtful approach to a dressing around a basic.
A striped jersey skirt can go from basic to funky depending on the pieces that support it. Extra bonus: wrinkles never cling to jersey knits!
A piece with a little pizzazz enlivens a week-long wardrobe. This funky print is made sophisticated & cool when paired with easy-going jersey tanks.
You could really ONLY pack this & be perfectly happy ALL WEEK! Double-duty dress/tunic, double-dute day/night. This dress is a perfect packing piece.
