    Another great video! Just one thing...it always gives me the heebie jeebies when I see someone put their luggage on their bed. Maybe because I am such a germ-a-fobe, but think about it...your luggage rolls around in the airport, street, bathroom, etc. Then to throw it on where you are going to sleep 🤮 just something to keep in mind.

    haha you make some valid points! perhaps i should put a towel down on the bed before putting my luggage on the bed... thanks so much for watching xx

    I use to only take 2 wrinkle free dresses.... iron free is a must. Sometimes I go straight from plane to a meeting and a quick wrinkle free dress in my room or airport bathroom makes showing up for a meeting after long travel easy. except in winter a trouser, sweater and thick leggings and 1 dress. Hard part is shoes in winter. So decided no heels in winter only loafers, boots or nice sneakers that go with my outfit. Preferably a shoe that can double duty when not working and just casual, but I'm picky on shoes I'll have to adjust as I've not had to wear business shoes in 7 yrs. I double my purses too, I have a carry on and then put everything into smaller bag that's still bigger than just a wallet. My carry one will be my work bag and can easily throw my small purse inside and go to meetings. A big one for me is sunblock and dry shampoo and depends bug dpray for evenings out walking or outdoor eating i cant do in certain regions without bug spray. I have to find none aerosol options, or small container options.

    This is one of the few videos that is really helpful and a work appropriate packing 👍🏻 loved every minute of it but I wonder what about jewelry? I love mine and would not travel without them 😅 I think they can add glam to an outfit

    I'm so glad to hear it was helpful! I'm pretty boring when it comes to jewellery and I don't have an extensive collection. I just wear the same pieces over and over again! But I agree, they can definitely take your outfits up a notch

    RIP to the Scanlan Theodore outlet store in Melbourne Central (did you ever visit it? It was crepe knit heaven). I hope the brand is going okay, because 90% of my work attire is Scanlan 😅 not at all an old school rec!!

    loveee your style. How do you make sure not to pack too much on your tote bag? I do work travel alot, and usually bring my laptop in my tote, but it tend to be very heavy...

  • @whatveewore

    2 жыл бұрын

    that's a good question. i think it's hard to pack lightly when it comes to a tote bag for travel. like you, the laptop takes up a bit of room but then i've also got my laptop charger and those extra little bits that i wouldn't ordinarily take if i was just commuting to the office in my home town. those essentials send to add up weight wise but i think i'm just used to it! 😅

    What heels do you suggest for being on your feet all day but also going well with the forever dress?

  • @whatveewore

    i think a low block heel or a kitten heel would work perfectly with the forever dress - i've even worn it with a pair of pointed toe flats!
