All About Packing Part 3
Here's a few extra tips and a bit of recap before we move onto the really fun stuff
- Take accessories. They freshen up an outfit and can totally change the look. They also don't take up much room. TIP - stick with either silver or gold. I know mixed metals are trendy but....I'm the gal who still likes my shoes and purse to match!!
- We all like to pick up a couple of new pieces before we go on a trip. Do it in moderation and do the scrunch test! What's that you ask? Hold the fabric in your hand and scrunch it up. Hold the scrunch for 15 seconds. When you open your hand if the fabric appears wrinkled it's not a piece you want in your suitcase.
- Roll, roll, roll.....the roll vs. the fold. I'm a huge fan of rolling my clothes. For me rolling eliminates wrinkled clothing. I've been in plenty of places where there wasn't an iron in sight. The other advantage is you can fit more in.
- Make sure to fill in the corners and extra spaces in your suitcase. Those are the spaces to fit socks, underwear and all those small items that don't seem to go anywhere.
- Shampoo is not really needed unless you're addicted to one brand and can't live without it.
- Be sensible when packing - make sure your bases are covered, that everything in that suitcase will be worn and serves a purpose. Try your very best to build a capsule wardrobe. It does take some effort in the beginning but trust me - it works!!!
