Absolutely agree.

I bought a featherweight cashmere scarf from Peili after seeing it recommended in a travel blog. It was a bit expensive ($89) but it's well worth the price! I always take it on the plane with me, as it's very warm and can double as a blanket. You can use it as a wrap or to cover your head in a mosque or temple, or even as a swimsuit cover-up. It's huge (90.5" x 39.4") but folds down to almost nothing. It can be draped around your neck, tied around your waist or tied to the handle of your bag. It comes in over 30 colors. I bought it in the dark teal color and it goes with just about everything.

Thanks! So helpful and the links are very appreciated. I am traveling 2 trips in the next month - one beach 6 nights, one Europe 11 nights - I’ll use all these tips!

Love all your practical advice ❤

Your packing vids are my favorite! So helpful ♥

So many great point in this, I don’t even know where to begin! 😂 Packing light, but still functional is huge. We have gotten to the point where we have started buying quality over quantity just because we were getting tired of clothes wearing out. For rain shoes, we swear by our Chaco and Teva sandals!

Love the video. I usually get a 5 night trip into my carry-on (could be 7 if it is a summer/beach trip). I once did a comparison with my mom to see how much clothes into a carry-on. I am plus-size and my mom is petite we always used to “argue” about overpacking and I told her it wasn’t overpacking, it’s just that my clothes took up more room. So we did the experiment. We actually have a lot of the same basic items, just in different colors and sizes (she likes color, bright color and floral while I stick to navy, black and browns and stripes). So we each decided to pick 3 pants, 3 tops, 2 shirts, 2 light weight sweaters and 2 jackets plus 2 pairs of shoes and obviously undergarments for each day and 1 set pijamas. We choose items to mix and match and things that could be dressed up if needed. No accessories as we both hate belts or scarves. We selected the same items to take out and wear on our travel day. Again, everything we choose were from the same brand and style, just different sizes and colors. We even did our best to fold exactly the same way (although I am a bit more OCD about the way I perfectly fold my socks and underwear and mom just folds them kind of sloppy…well, my mom fit everything into the carry-on roller bag and i did not. My mom is 5ft 1in and I am 5ft 6in, she is a size 6 shoe and I am a 10.5 or 11 shoe, she is a size 4-6 pants and small shirt. I won’t say my size but let’s just say I am significantly bigger. I had to leave out my back-up jacket and pijamas and really struggled with the shoes.

For a three week trip, you don't need more than two pair of pants, or two bottoms of any kind, whatever you prefer. It's useful to have a variety of tops you can layer, for slightly different weather, but no more than a total of 5 tops. I wash my socks and underwear in the sink and schedule laundry if necessary though. I can pack way less clothes that way. I only wear one pair of shoes, hiking boots, and sometimes bring shower shoes if that's necessary, so I really never pack shoes. Only wear one jacket, choose a winter one or a rain jacket, don't choose anything "cute" like a denim jacket. Lots of people want to fit it and wear fashionable clothes, but I have to say, practical matters more. Like, she recommends having a trench coat or a denim jacket, which is great if you're touring cities, but I rarely do, so my rain jacket I can get muddy works so much better. I never carry a purse when I travel, only a day pack 🤷‍♀️. She makes a good point when she suggests lighter weight clothes, like merino wool, silk, and linen, because it packs smaller and weighs so much less. She always has SO many clothes in her suitcase 🤣. *oh and SOMETIMES I bring a swimsuit, if I KNOW I'm going swimming. Mostly I don't plan vacations that involve swimming, but I've certainly bought a swim suit overseas because I realized I needed one 🤷‍♀️.

I love my denim jackets and wear them regularly. However, I rarely take when I travel since a denim jacket takes up valuable real estate in a suitcase and generally isn’t comfortable to wear on the plane.

I took a boat neck long sleeve Wool& dress on a Viking cruise last December. It looks nice for a little dressy and casual with pants or tights. Change the look with a scarf or necklace. The first time I used merino wool. Loved it. I’m going to look into your t-shirts for my trip to Ireland next spring.

Loved this! I’m still struggling to wrap my brain around the merino wool and shirt rewearing. What I usually do is pack really thin base layers from Uniqlo so those stink and I can rewear my top layer. I’ve gotten much better at minimal packing for international trips but really struggle for Disney trips, particularly cruises. We’re doing the 7 night norwegian cruise on dcl next august and planing on doing Disneyland Paris. My girls will be 11 and 9 (almost 10) on that trip and I vacillate between carry on for everyone or 2 carry ons a checked bag. I am unsure the girls will be able to handle their own carry on.

I have yet to find a trench coat that doesn't overwhelm me. Great tips. We're going to Boyne Falls Michigan next week for a week and I'm staring at my clothing selections now. Temps from 42 to 72. 42 is freezing to me. And we want to sit in a dark sky park to watch for Aurora Borealis and visit The Grand Hotel with their resort wear stipulations.
