Now that I'm twenty two and have had my fair share of travel experience, I'd like to think I'm an expect packer. Unfortunately, that's far from the truth. Because as much as I hate lugging around an overpacked bag, I always want to feel ready for any dress code. However,
cutting down on what makes it inside your weekender bag has everything to do with staying calm, cool, and collected.
Therefore, I decided to be a minimalist packer for my weekend trip to Chicago.
I asked myself: What's the weather going to be like?
Are there any formal events involved?
And how can I recycle outfit pieces?
These answers helped shape the contents of my packing strategy, along with employing a level of self-restraint.
For five days, including a Hawks as well as a Bulls game, a birthday dinner [we don't know about you, but we're feelin' 22], and a photo shoot or two I made sure to pack the following!
Cardigan: They're the ultimate throw-on-and-go layer.
This one is versatile, wear-with-everything cardigan to keep out the chill.
Statement Necklace: This stand out piece looks best when styled with a simple outfit. It is a fabulous way to add a trendy twist to an old classic.
Graphic Tee: Normally, I'm not a fan of graphic tees, but they're perfect for traveling!
They're comfy and a perfect laying piece.
Skirt: You can dress a skirt up or down!
Seriously, you can pair them with a plaid shirt or button down.
Boots: Personally, I suggest you invest in L.L Bean Boots!
They're stylish but they keep your warm while being a tourist.
Plaid Shirt: Plaid has become a wardrobe mainstay, whether you're camping, attempting grunge chic or just want to be comfortable!
Jeans: Jeans are classic. Take them from casual to a night-out!
