I'm not excited or anything, though.
I've been packing and unpacking and repacking and buying new things for the past 3 weeks now but I think I've finally decided on what to bring. Trying to live out of a little tiny cary-on in unpredictable weather for 3 weeks is no easy task. I'm going to break it down for you because, well, I'm pretty proud of the way this has all worked out. At first it was madness. All of a sudden, there became a method to my madness and it's pure brilliance! So I'll share.
4 short sleeve shirts.
Each is colorful or patterned
3 long sleeve shirts.
Each is colorful and can have a layer underneath or over if needed for extra warmth.
2 pairs of dark-wash jeans
1 black skirt
Each can be worn with any shirt packed.
1 sweater
2 cardigans
1 raincoat/jacket
All are dark colors and can be worn with ANY shirt or bottoms packed.
Comfy clothes for layering and/or sleeping.
1 pull over
1 big long sleeved t-shirt
1 pair of shorts
2 pairs of leggings
I plan on sleeping in the t-shirt and leggings because it's what I normally sleep in, it's easy, and can be worn as real cloths if I need to. If I'm cold I can add the pull over and the other leggings. Also the leggings are nice to have because I can wear them under my jeans if it's an exceptionally cold day.
And here are my lovely 3 scarves!
2 patterned
1 plain
The beauty of this system is simple- have colorful shirts and black or gray sweaters/cardigans.
Anything can be worn with everything!
It sounds like I'm putting way too much thought into this, and maybe I am, but I'm not going to be stuck with a shirt that can only be worn with 1 pair of pants and 1 cardi (even if it is my party cardi).
This girl has options!
So now you know way more about my wardrobe choices for my trip than you ever cared to know.
You're welcome.
