2 scarfs and a cardigan are a must for me no matter where I go.

@debraschwicht9741

I agree, especially on the scarves! They can SO change the look of a basic top or plain dress-having taken up very little space in my travel bag. Scarves are one of my favorite “souvenirs“ to buy when I travel, too. I have fun remembering past trips when I wear them at home for many years to come. I’m still using a couple of scarves I bought almost 20 years ago on my first trip to the UK with my oldest daughter. Fun memories AND classy look!

For my 'softer' sisters, we can still do the 'must have' button down shirt but I've found the neckline & fabric to be important - instead of a traditionally western shirt collar in a stiff fabric, I like either a collarless rounded neckline or a mandarin band stand collar in silk*. Shawl lapels work great too, if you can find them (often on wrap shirts instead). *I don't recommend satin because it water stains easily. A silk blended with cotton or linen is slightly more durable for travel.

I do mostly cold weather travel. Merino wool base layers (top and bottom) work as my pj. I wear them to do yoga as well. Rare occasion for beach or cruise I bring a cotton maxi to be my pj and swimsuit coverup. I don’t use anything that needs ironing for travel. I wear hats and beanies all year round, no exception when traveling. I use a high denier nylon sling bag that goes across my chest for travel antitheft. I love monk strap leather loafers with rubber outsole. They don’t tire my feet and waterproof (brand is Vagabond).

Is Vagabond supportive/ comfy - especially on slightly wider feet (but still narrow/ average heels)? I've got my eye on some interesting styles but am always scared to pull the trigger on buying shoes online (without trying them first).

Oof, my partner and I flew to Toronto twice this winter, 4-7 days each time. We’ve become big proponents of traveling carry-on, not checking bags, but even finer-guage knits can soak up space. So watching this video, my question in all of this is, would you have had the space for the things you didn’t bring? In a limited luggage space, when you love everything you’ve already packed, how do you prioritize? I’d love to see a video on how you budget out your luggage space 😄😄😄

Most of the things she had already brought and made room for. A coat has to be worn or carried over arm or shoulder. The cashmere tee she had not allowed for. Another blazer/moto jacket she hadn't made room for either. Those two items are it. Hopefully you will find room.

I loved that you mention having a measuring tape! I carry a small one with me ALL the time because you never know when you find a random thrift store when you’re out exploring!

Love this! I recently did my best pack job ever on my last trip. My biggest game changer was bringing skirts+coordinating tops instead of dresses. Took up less space and was more versatile.

I really love matching skirt sets, I get a dress look and two separates, they’re so versatile. The comfort of a skirt or dress is super-important to me, too. I can’t imagine wearing jeans on a long flight, or any trousers.🙂

I love, love, love that belt. Just went over to Brave and ordered it in black and gold. It's exactly the belt I've had in my mind's eye so it felt like fate - had to get it!

I'm not in a position to travel . Full time caregiver going on 10 plus years now for my mom but I still find your videos so incredibly helpful for my day to day dressing. My style vibe has evolved thanks to you, I use the three word method .. I'm thinking differently, understanding what I feel good in... And you have won me over to the button down club! I LOVE my button downs so much.. never thought a button down could feel sexy and empowering but there it is! ☺️❤️

I've been using True Earth laundry straps in linen for 2 years. This is a fantastic product. I see people carrying the heavy plastic jugs of detergent every day. People are so conservative about change. I try to promote True Earth every time that I do laundry. This vlog is very useful. Thank you.

Had an exhausting day - came home and saw your video - felt instantly better😁Another great video, Alyssa, thank you 💕Clara 💕

Definitely over here taking notes (in an actual notepad) for my upcoming trip to Paris this summer 🎉

Love this video getting ready for a 3 week trip to Several places in Europe. Packing for all changes in weather has always been my struggle. Thank you for the idea’s

Thank you for this. I recently traveled to Hawaii, and did bring my TruEarth strips, the best ever detergent. I also have a short silk bathrobe that I packed, very light weight, wore it sitting out on the balcony in the morning and felt fully covered.wish I’d remembered my denim jacket for the evenings. Thanks for your always insightful videos.

As it happens, I am five days in to my first visit to Portugal. Tudo bem, and I’m wondering why I’ve never been here before. I LOVE dead-of-winter temps ranging from 3-15! The colors, the people, the seafood, even the rain is civil. Storms for two hours, them gone for days. I’m heading north tomorrow and I’m happy with my minimal wardrobe and three more weeks.

Loved it! I have measured my best fitting garments, noted in my notes app, and my husband got a measuring tape for my key ring ! All set for thrifting 🎉

I feel underdressed and dull without earrings. Simple gold or silver hoops do wonders, and I usually pack at least one of each metal.

Not a traveling person as of yet, I was tied down for work/kids and once my kids went to college; my mom then had a major stroke, so I been taking care of her for 15 years. Now retired I had not seen my extended family where I am from for over 11 years and I finally got there last year and spent to weeks (I was exhausted), so just going to try and make it back to GA to see my family out there once a year but that will be the limit of my travels. I don't have to pay for hotels and such while there. This video was a bust for me because it was not a subject I can relate to but you got the view because I like all the other theme videos you normally do. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the new year.

This is very helpful, even for non travel. The pandemic made shopping harder (I like to try things on in person). A lot of my favorite pieces are on their last legs, which is a great opportunity to align my clothes with how my life has changed. I love Alyssa’s “what you can’t live without” approach with a small infusion of luxury fabric (silk PJs, luxury T). In the past those pieces seemed “unnecessary “ and out of budget, but they are actually a form of self care. Plus fewer, well chosen pieces that all feel good means there is more budget to allocate per piece. Thanks, Alyssa!

What a mid-week treat! I brought my Chambray shirt and a jean jacket for layering based on a former video for a trip to Northern Africa. So helpful. I have a lightweight cashmere poncho that converts as a scarf and a blanket on freezing flights. It's like a Linus blanket for travel. Love your videos and broke down and purchased your Brave belt.

These are all great tips!! I especially like the measuring tape idea or at least knowing the measurements of pieces you already have so you have something to compare to.

Love the measuring tape tip. Great video Alyssa. ..

Please, please, do a review of your new to you Loewe puzzle bag. It is on my wish list too. Thank you!

Love the idea of the measuring tape.

Don't forget sunnies and a hat! Or gloves if traveling in winter.

I'm happy you recommended the jean jacket.

I wear a lot of silk because of skin allergies, and I find it great for travel. There is hardly any weight or bulk to it, it’s odor and soil resistant, easy to wash, fast-drying and doesn’t need ironing.

Love True Earth….great products and you are not using plastic. ❤

I tried True Earth and was disappointed. It was fine for lightly worn clothes but not much help with the kitchen linens, dog towels and gardening clothes that make up most of my laundry. I may try one of the other brands because I really like the convenience and lack of plastic packaging. Or, just use it for delicates.

I enjoyed the video! . Loved the photos and the tips. Made me happy to think about travelling😍

Thought this was very cool and and some of the items show up on both lists but in very diffrent forms. So for the cosy aspect for me it’s good tea …. and have two bamboo dresses that can double as nightgown or dress which I happen to look amazing in and are really nice to the skin, thin wollen socks, leggings, a maxi skirt, a good looking thin fleece with Zips up to high neck, a blanket scarf in wool, plus a colourful decorative one of some sort, boots, black more polished easily packable sneakers, a more fancy top in my case lace with a square neck and billowy see though arms … perfect for that oops unforseen more fancy than you thought with a cocktail ring or a more dramatic heavy necklace, a comfy sportsbra and a that comfy yet stylish bra that works with everything + a long cardigan of some sort… a good fitting for pair of trousers which can be used to dress up, and some sort of good looking simple evening shoe.

This is so much helpful! Thank you! Im taking notes and its gonna be in my packing list coz will be travelling from Canada to Florida. I love the low effort and high visual impact for the belt. Will definitely add this! Thank you! 😉

Hello Alyssa, I actually found your channel when I was preparing for a 3 week trip to Italy last summer. I love the true earth laundry strips! Used them in Italy, use them at home. I think this is by far your best travel video. My husband and I were in Northern Italy and Slovenia during last summer's infamous heat wave. One of my most used items was oddly enough what I started calling "The car dress." I had a second hand Jcrew Tee dress that I wore on travel days. It held it's shape during long car trips and dressed up for late, last minute dinners with a slouchy linen cardi or a few accessories. I totally agree about the PJs or lounge wear. I have plantar faciitis so packing my Vionic slippers was a total life saver for me. I actually hate walking around barefoot in a strange house.

Love the video. Did you already share how to get the right measurements in order to shop second hand? Would love to see your process and thoughts while second hand shopping - particularly with the measurements in mind. ❤

Thanks for another great video, Alyssa!! True Earth eco strips are my go-to when travelling, particularly with only carryon. Nothing to spill, nothing to take up room in my 1 litre liquids bag!!
