I love traveling more than the next girl, but there is always one downside to it: packing. When you love clothes, and take pride in your style, packing is very hard because you're limiting yourself to whatever you take on your trip. I typically pick an outfit based on the mood I'm in that day, but when traveling you don't have that luxury. You're stuck with whatever you packed before you left for your adventure.
I'll admit, I have a tendency to overpack, it's something I've been working on. I am currently packing to film on location for three weeks, so I certainly picked a good time to start scaling back on what I pack.
rule number 01 of packing (and really the only key rule): Instead of packing a random assortment of your favorite things, or even packing outfits - pack a collection. A collection means they are all pieces that are able to mix-and-match to perfection. Start with building a foundational color pallet. I like to stick to neutrals (black, gray, white, creams & beige). I love having so many basic pieces because you can shuffle them all around for endless combinations.
After rounding up your basics, toss in a few non-neutrals to spice things up and you're on your way to a smart suitcase. (But let's be real...I'm sure I overpacked. I'm still learning!)
So I meantioned that I am going away for a few weeks to film my latest project (which you can keep up with here!). I'll be in Michigan, right on the lake so I'll have lots of beautiful pictures to share with you guys. Keep checking back!
