Packing 101: Your Go to Guide to Packing
Join the Convo
Are you the type of person to over pack for every trip? No shame in it! We were, too, at one point in time. Now, we follow this step-by-step guide for every trip!
For this trip I was staying 7 days and 7 nights. I decided on 7 dresses, laid them out, and added shoes. Once that’s decided, roll them up and stuff them neatly into packing cubes!
So, this step is somewhat optional.
Let’s say your answer is no. Follow up question would be, what activities do you have planned for this vacation? If you plan out outdoorsy things and hiking, don’t bypass this step!
If your answer to follow up question is also no, feel free to bypass this step and go straight to #3!
For my people who don’t want to skip out on their fitness routines, how many days do you intend on working out?
For this trip, I decided on 3 days. I pack everything from my sports bra to the socks together and repeat the process above. (Roll the clothing items together and stash them in your workout cubes)
For the sake of my trip, we landed on two beach days. Because we’re only doing two days, we don’t need a hundred swimsuit options; simply pack one cover up and one swimsuit.
Remember, we’re staying 7 nights! Whether you’re a pajama repeater or not, you do not need more than 7! Once those are laid out, we pack them in with our swimwear.
Make sure to layout them out so you can easily vision the looks. Now, what accessories will you need? Belts, bracelets, sunglasses, etc.
The only thing I have to say about this step is: don’t forget your intimate wear! With that being said, pack accordingly (you won’t need your entire drawer).
Step 7: OUTERWEAR
Pack the following: 1 Jacket, 1 Sweater, 1 Button Down, and a pair of sneakers!
These are your items that don’t really need their own category but cannot be forgotten!
Don’t have packing cubes? Here are a few we recommend:
Toiletry bag (Hair & Make up included)
Jewelry/Accessories: Option & Option 2
Tech (Chargers, Laptops, Tablets)
And voila! You’re done!
