Imagining yourself relaxing on the beach with a mimosa or walking down Champs Elysee in your fashionable best is the easy part when it comes down to planning a holiday. The agonising part is packing for it. The fashionista within us would probably want to carry our trendiest or most loved clothing items in our closet – but you’d also need to pay excess baggage, and ain’t no one got time to pay that when you can buy your favourite Michael Kors instead, amirite?
Let’s be real, sometimes we do get overwhelmed by the magnanimity of our closet space and our clothes, which make us choose all the wrong items to pack in our faithful Tumi travel case. Are you screaming out, “OMG, this is me!” in your head? Then, Imma help you out, girl. First and foremost, ask yourself these 3 questions while packing: “What’s the smartest and an essential thing I own, a.k.a my ride or die piece?”, “Will I be doing any physical activities (example: adventure sports or tour)?”, “Which item can take me from day to night in a matter of just adding a few accessories?”
Thought it through? If not, here are some of the fashion girl essentials you can pick out from your closet:
1. Coats & Coverups
2. Jeans
3. Wrinkle Free Tees
4. Basic Blacks
5. Comfy Shoes
Now that you’re set with your essentials, there’s nothing stopping you from doing a last minute pack. Happy travels!
