What an interesting approach to packing! I have tried various methods for packing over the decades I've been travelling, including the 54321, the 333, and the packing list method. Here's my tip. I always pack a t-shirt dress, change of underwear and a pair of flip flops in my personal item, in case my suitcase gets lost or in case my flight is delayed overnight. I can use the dress as a nightie, a casual dress or a swim suit coverup. I can change into the dress when I reach my destination if I feel grubby from travelling or if I spill something on my travel clothes. I can wear the flip flops by the pool, at the beach or in a hotel room. One other item I pack in my personal item is a large scarf or pashmina, which I can wear as a scarf, as a shawl, as a pareo, or use as a blanket on the plane. I've been using separate zip lock bags to contain the clothing, shoes, and pashmina (the latter folds down so that it fits in a sandwich bag). And I always throw a plastic bag into my suitcase for laundry, to keep the dirty clothes separated from the clean one. I hope someone finds my tip useful in their travels.

What a lot of clothes changes every day. One week away in Europe a couple of weeks ago- 2 trousers, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 1 cardigan, 2 jackets, raincoat, 6 tops, 1 trainers, 2 sandals, cross body bag and tote. These took me from cool to hot, casual to smart, dry to wet, and includes what I wore.

[cfauria]

I recently returned from a 3 week summer European trip, visiting 3 countries. I packed pajamas, 2 trousers (denim & beige), 3 colorful blouses, 3 t-shirts (white, black & green), 1 linen long sleeve shirt, 1 pair of black shorts, 1 pair black leggings, 1 black hoodie, 2 bras black & beige, 1 sports bra, 6 underwear, 6 socks, 4 silk scarves, 1 bathing suit, 1 necklace, 1 bracelet, 1 pair tennis shoes, 1 pair sandals. I was able to wash my clothes twice at 2 of the Airbnb’s we rented. I packed it all in a 20 inch suitcase and saved room for destination purchases.
I purposefully packed lighter than usual because I carried on my luggage and walked to every hotel from the train. I also wore a 10 L backpack & a crossbody bag for plane & train rides.

I love this 3 day method! The everyday wardrobe especially! I have a formula I use - no new clothes or shoes (they might prove to be troublesome in some way); versatile, packable, comfortable clothes only, (especially shoes - even for dressing up); mix and match as much as possible; add scarves for color and interest; bring a small umbrella and possibly a jacket or coat. I use any days we move to other cities to start the rotation over. Just remember - chances are no one really cares about your clothes as long as they conform to dress expectations for the event. Enjoy!

Wow, so many clothes! We are world travelers, on a budget (60+ countries) and I carry one tiny backpack. Period. One pair of shorts, one pair of pants (NEVER jeans as they take way too long to dry), three shirts, three pair of underwear, one pair of shoes that I wear. Also a light weight jacket. To dress up, two pairs of earrings and eyeliner and mascara. Everything else you might need, buy it there. Packing minimally brings me much peace as a traveler.

She's assuming most people will be stacking their items on the bed, but that wardrobe rack is a GAME CHANGER if you have a place to store it. That way you can start planning ahead of time without things being in the way. You can see if your pieces are going to work together for mix and match. Highly recommend.

Great strategy. I always pack a laundry kit for one loa: a color catcher sheet, laundry soap, dryer sheet; I put it in a little laundry garment sack then seal it up in a Ziploc. Perfect to do a mid-trip load and saves me the hassle of finding the supplies at an unfamiliar destination

[lindamartel-inoi]

I like this 3-day idea. Light colors for the travel day, that's brave. I prefer lighter-weight items and a more minimalist approach. Fewer shoes, fewer purses, no leather, no jeans. Fantasy self or what if items are creating more bulk.

[lbeard]

I pack like this too! “Ok what am I doing this day? I need this and this and this. Ok the next day? This and this - but I can rewear that from day 1, so I just need this”, etc. it makes packing SO much easier.

Loved this video! I am a list maker. So I have a packing and trip todo list that I edit for each new trip. I start making edits weeks out, whenever I think of anything specific this new trip will need packed or done. I list out my clothing pieces I expect to pack, some by name some are socks x7. Then when it's time to pack I just have to go off the list, and it really reduces decision fatigue for me. I might put back a few things if I over did it, but for shorter trips/places we've been before I can usually nail it in the list making phase. It's an art!

[agoctober]

I wear dresses so bring a dress for each day and I wear a black maxi dress on a travel day, so easy and I always look stylish. Thanks for the video. I appreciate you sharing your method.

[lollygee]

I’ve been obsessed with trying to find the best way to come up with a capsule wardrobe for carry on only for a six week trip this fall to France. Love this philosophy! Because of the length of me stay, i may add in one day, but it will depend on space. Thank you! Looking forward to part 2!

[terrym]

"You know it's ambiguous Europe. You want to look cute" 😂 I love your videos. !!

[carolynmatthews]

As an avid traveler - this method is brilliant! Can't wait to see how it gets packed!

[sarahhope]

Love this!! I’m an over packer and then I buy things anyway 🤣

[melissat.]

My take away from your video was pack for these “days” for whatever trip I’m taking and I will avoid over packing overall. I always pack in a carryon or weekender and tend to be minimalist but still wind up with things I don’t need. With road trips every 3 months for a year for healthcare needs, I will try this approach to help alleviate packing stress. Ain’t nobody got time for packing stress 😂 Thanks!

[deanastyxhades]

So I started sometimes bringing a cooler. I found a backpack cooler a few years back and it’s too big to be my personal but it’s works as a carryon. I stuff it full of clothes and a fold up bag that I can transfer my clothes to when we get there. Then we have a large cooler and can fill it with groceries instead of eating out every meal. This works great if we’re not staying in a single place the whole time! Just wipe it out before you put your clothes back in!

[arrowchild]

I love watching these kind of videos! And I absolutely respect that this method works for her, (and a lot of other folks!), but I’ve never packed so many I’ve done 2+weeks in Europe before and I would never bring more than 1 jacket, 1 purse etc. I certainly wouldn’t bring so many similar white shirts. I mean, more power to her! I just don’t quite understand how this is minimal.

[OkieTLB]

I love your energy and enthusiasm! But I must say as an older traveler, packing purses to match different outfits, fancy dresses, special undies/bras, belts, etc… is not worth it. Take versatile clothes that are COMFORTABLE and mix and match with everything. Layering is key. And one good cross body bag and one backpack. Depending on your destination, only 3 pairs of shoes are needed…sneakers, another pair of comfy shoes (ie. loafers, Bobs, etc.) and either flip flops, hiking boots or rain boots. Packing cubes are a game changer for me and my tribe! My bestie and I are off to Ireland and Northern Ireland in mid September. We’ll be there for 3 weeks. Everything we need will be in 2 carry ons and 2 personal bags. Renting a car and traveling on our own will be awesome and most likely better than when we did Ireland with a tour group in 1984 😉

[racheldee]

This method is perfect for me!! Thank you! I love wearing dresses and jumpsuits and all of the other methods make me feel like I will forget the right slip/slip I will probably pack for 1 additional “every day” outfit. I love the idea of packing for everything you want for 3 days and then just re-wearing the outfits and doing laundry when needed. Thank you! 😃💙
