Summer has begun in most places around the country so you may be packing for a trip! After lots of packing for trips in the past, I've found it most helpful to hang up entire outfits with accessories to help you select what to bring. Do this about a week prior to your trip and start with all laundry clean! Start setting aside all your favorites for your trip... work around a color scheme to minimize shoes ( if that is possible) One thing I've learned recently is that your jewelry can really take your outfit up a notch! It's so fun to take something casual to something special with just a few fun earrings, bangles or necklaces - and jewelry is small... easy to pack! Totally loving it! You may know that I represent a jewelry designer... and her collection is something that can be mixed and matched so it's not so overwhelming to take jewelry anymore! I'd love to show you in person.... but.... let's get back to packing! Pack your underwear and socks inside shoes to keep them from squishing and to save room. I use my exterior pockets of my roller board for the zip lock baggies of toiletries, that way they are easy to access when you are in an airport. Pack an extra squishable bag in there too for extra goodies or even for laundry you take home. Always pack a sweater or wrap.... it sometimes gets chilly in a restaurant. Always pack an evening bag or smaller clutch and travel with the biggest purse or comptuer bag you can because the airlines don't let women carry a purse and a briefcase and a roller board. It's all about "looks". Finally, don't forget emergency items like sunscreen and pack that bathing suit in your carry on so you can access it when you get to your location! Have a great summer!
