Packing for a summer vacation is always an exciting, if not daunting, endeavor! Whether you’re checking luggage or keeping it light with a carry-on, every item counts!
1.) Check what items your destination provides!
If you’re staying with friends, family, or a hotel, see what items they have on hand like a hair dryer or iron. This can be a real space saver!
2.) Pick your shoes wisely!

3.) Choose only your favorite outfits- then try them on!
Go through your closet and choose the items you love the most. You’ll probably only need a couple bottoms that can be worn again with different blouses or cardigans.
Once you’ve seen how wearable your favorite pieces are, and made sure they can all be fairly interchangeable (ie. tucked in or out, layered, and can be worn with at least 2 of your bottoms) you’re almost done. Now all that’s left is to:
4.) Grab your accessories!
With your clothing limited on vacation, and your versatile shoes packed and ready to go, accessories become an essential key in making an outfit look completely different.
Pack a few color belts, necklaces, and scarves, and voila! One black dress can become 3 different looks!
Happy Travels!
