One of the best carry-on only/travel wardrobe videos of the 50 or so I've seen over the years. A condensed wardrobe that doesn't compromise on style and could work for virtually any age group.
If you are talk and thin.
@@drewrichardson8789 Yes - she is beautiful - with a gorgeous figure which gives her a good head start - but she does inspire me.
I pack in a similar way but it does get boring using the same colour palette after a while. Also wear the bottoms for night time first when they are fresh and carry them over to the next day, rather than wearing all day. It feels dresser that way. Couldn't imagine going out for the evening in something I'd already worn all day.
Great tip!
👍
I also add a couple of colorful scarves and interesting jewelry to combat the boredom of the same color palette.
Opp p pp
@@donnapartow Great idea!
I’m over 65 and don’t wear all those same style of pieces, but the concept is brilliant and can be tailored to individual style. As other viewers mentioned, I’d probably wear evening pieces first. Thank you for these great tips!
The BEST video I’ve found on packing a capsule wardrobe! Explaining how it transitions from day to night while always looking chic. Thank you!
Excellent ideas. I bring a scarf or two to wear as a belt or a make shift top to wear under the blazer. Also ladies please bring panty liners to keep your pants fresh. Spent 3 weeks in Australia with a single bag. Went to plays, sheep stations, shopping and upscale dining. Yes it can be done.
Good idea about liners but I'd still bring hand wash fast dry pants. Especially tropical weather.
I do both tips - scarf as belt and pack pantiliners, always. I also use cotton lawn sarongs as shawls/blankets, etc. Don't forget to tie a [multi-use] bandana somewhere.... tfs!
I love the scarf tip! Versatile piece that can add a pop of color! Thanks for sharing 😊
I have watched this video more than a few times over the past few years...surely I am not alone. If people think that the palette is boring, just use the pieces shown as a template of sorts. Use pieces that coordinate that are your style. I personally do not get tired of black & white, but love to throw in a camel or pink sweater, a print blouse, scarves, etc. Wearing the same bottom totally makes sense for simplicity's sake. Great info, thank for sharing, enjoy!
Thank you & helpful. 😅
Same😊 This video is super helpful and sparks ideas for creating your own capsule.
I’ve rewatched several times too! Yes, I love how clearly she is relaying the template. We can apply it to our favorite staple or palette.
Fourteen pieces of my size 20’s don’t fold down enough to fit in a carry on. lol
Excellent ideas. NOW, show us how to pack like this for cold weather when the clothing is bulky, please.
That would be helpful...winter packing for Sweden
Yes yes yes! Going to New York in December! Already dreading the packing!
@@bradrigsby8808 Same! I'm panicking at the thought! Please @me if you find any videos 👍🏽
Layers!! Winter leggings under the jeans and leather pants. Thin turtle neck in black under blouses and dresses and black winter tights for skirts. Bring coat and a compressible packable puff jacket and boots instead of sandals. Also a colourful pashmina scarf. I used to travel from hot countries to cold countries a lot with minimal clothing and that was my system
@@jmsuther01 thank you for the great advice 😘
Thank you¡.
I'm a 60+ woman, for that reason I would change the black pieces for my favorable navy blue. Black (even though is a favorable color) is to harsh for me now that I'm older.
Thanks again for the tips.
I totally agree for the warmer weather. I wear black in fall winter but too harsh in bright sunlight. I prefer a more French inspired look with navy and striped tops. Check out Marie Ann Lacoure’s French videos.
Louisa, I feel the same! The beauty of using navy as a base is that it goes so well with OTHER shades of blue, it's almost impossible to find a hue that won't pair with it. With black, unless one wants to make a collection of "shades or gray", it's not as easy. My travel capsule usually has navy and lighter/brighter shades or blue, white and flax, and one or two accents, depending on location and weather. Sometimes I pack pops of red, sometimes is fuchsia or teal...but even if I limit it to "shades of blue" and "shades of white" I feel plenty satisfied in its variety in a way "black and white" doesn't. Also, I leave room to buy one locally-produced accessory wherever I go---a necklace or big earrings in a bright color, local leather or cork goods, wooden or brass bracelets, a colorful scarf or woven clutch...that way they inject excitement to my travel outfits AND become a souvenir of that particular trip once I return home. (So much better than magnets!)
Yes, I use navy blue or a deep purple red color as my matching/combination color with black.
Add me to the Navy based capsule packing. Not only does it pair well with my favorite accent color - magenta - it also pairs well with black - in fact my Tumi backpack and my travel sun hat both are two-toned with a hint of black since there are times a black sundress or pants is desirable. I use scarves to add color in a carry-on friendly way - I have a print and a solid whisper light silk/cashmere rectangle scarf that can be tied as a shawl or just thrown on to add a little color and zip to a monochromatic wardrobe.
In my seventies. Learned so much from this and tested it for cruising in colder climates. I’m into black, beige, grey and rust. Love the capsule wardrobe.
You're right - you're a packing genius! I've watched 40+ packing hack videos but your visuals brought it down to the 1st grade level for me and that's what I needed all along. I printed the packing list, used what I had to follow the plan - then bought the rest (thank you SHEIN & Amazon). Now all I need to do is book a doggone trip. Thank you so very much!
Where did you find the packing list?
As an over packer who is going to Italy for almost two weeks this fall THANK YOU!! I’m determined to only go with a small suitcase!
We're going to Italy next month. We're also getting on a cruise ship after 3 days in Rome.
@@Randilynn66 Then you’ll need to dress for dinner on the cruise.
@@wplains I know. We're staying in a suite too. So we have to dress up a bit.
@@Randilynn66 Cruises are fun. I had several where I had a balcony in my room.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not having it…
The outfit ideas just saved me so much time. I just shopped my closet and I'm packed! I owned a lot of the items and never wore them together. Thanks for these great tips!
This is my all-time favorite video about how to get the most out of your clothing pieces. I love your style! It’s so effortless but elegant at the same time. Thank you, thank you.
This is probably one of the best packing videos I've seen! I pack quite similarly, black & white plus blue jeans. I really like the styles of tops you bring! Hi-heels aren't for me so I take ballet flats. I need to find a packable blazer like yours. Thank you for all the great tips and making a short informative video.
Like you, I don't wear 'heels' on trips. I pack ballet flats 2 pairs - Pleather AND velvet) - but also weightless bling thong sandals, PLUS bronze thong sandals. I skip the blue jeans - prefer charcoal gray leggings with pockets that I wear on both departure days and chilly hotel rooms.
CJ: Love these simple ideas to maximize a week of outfits with a carryon - very doable for touring or casual trip from spring to fall. I do this for business, as well. Even winter is easy with more layers.
Traveling once or twice every month, I've found the older I get, the more I want to do carryon only. Why? Lost and delayed baggage can absolutely ruin a business trip and my budget when I need to chase down business attire for an early morning meeting. Not fun (and sometimes not even possible, depending on where I happen to be.) The small hassle of lifting my bag into an overhead is more than worth the confidence that everything I need for my trip is with me. If I have a tight window to get to a meeting or activity, the benefit is that I can head straight for a taxi or Uber, bypassing the luggage carousel.
More important: I have learned that tourism traveling in Europe and other international destinations requires smaller carryon bags (regional planes) and ease of movement once on the ground (trains that have two minute stops which makes wrestling large bags foolish, buses with limited storage and short stops.) Less baggage also lowers my international travel costs significantly -- since you are charged by the size and number of bags for regional planes, taxis, shuttles.
Once I realized that the odds of a bag being lost or delayed is 1 in 250 -- and airlines don't consider a bag truly 'lost' until it's been missing for 21 days - the stress of worrying about whether my luggage would make it on quick layovers inspired me to be a lifetime Team Carryon member. There is good news. 97% of delayed luggage is found within 48 hours. The bad news is, unless you are home or planning to stay in one spot until your luggage is found, purchasing clothing and toiletries is going to have to be added to your itinerary and you won't see your bag again until you're back at the airport heading home. If I'm on a two or three day trip, this means not only do I have to buy clothing (and a suitcase to ship it home) but I won't be able to charge the airline for any or all of those costs, depending on the carrier.
Cruise ship trips makes this even more problematic, as you're in a different location every day, sometimes in areas that make it unlikely the airline will deliver your luggage to you. Having seen meltdowns on so many trips and social media over delayed and lost luggage, I'm not willing to travel with what I can't carry on the plane or lift onto a train or bus.
Ultimately, we all get to decide what our comfort level is for travel and bringing our necessities with us. By being creative and utilizing the tips of mixing and matching a travel capsule wardrobe can easily shift outfits from casual to evening. For me, the peace that comes from traveling with carryon luggage is worth the extra planning!
On one trip, I actually got back my lost checked luggage back - next day!!! :-) Nowadays, I never check luggage anymore. I've transformed from HEAVY 4 bag DIVA packer to minimalist in PERSONAL BAG ONLY. AND that's even wearing voluminous plus size/2XL. what a relief!!! It helps that my only makeup is sunscreen and ChapStick. Also, I've switched from fashionista outfits to comfy, comfy, comfy. I want to RELAX during my travels - not be bothered with trying for cute looks. I'd rather pack light - and do full-blown cute looks when I'm home with all my accessories and fancy outfits... Also, I try not to lug laptop. And I LOVE the planning part. I plan and practice packing weeks in advance [I don't travel much now]. tfs!
I agree that this is one of the best packing videos ever! You managed to look so chic while packing light. Thank you for this!
I was watching this and literally taking out a bunch of clothes out of my suitcase; thank you so much!
Fabulous ideas! I'm old and arthritic, so no longer wear heels (and consequently most skirts and dresses), but you've given me some great ideas for my next Southern California vacation. It'll be grand to have a bag light enough for me to lift into the overhead bin without help.
Don’t ever feel like you’re putting someone out by asking for help putting your bag in the overhead. Flight attendants are trained to do that and being able to lift up to 45-50 pounds overhead is part of the training/hiring.
In most situations now, flight attendants are not allowed by their airline to lift your cases into the overhead compartments for you.
I think your trips are much higher end than mine have been. That being said, I usually pack for 1 week no matter how long the trip is. I've done a few 3-week trips on 1 week's worth of carry-on. Although it does depend on the airline's carry-on limit (7-10kg). 3-4 bottoms and 6-7 tops, walking shoes/sandals, nicer heels and maybe thongs (flip flops). A good jacket/coat, backpack and maybe a smaller bag depending on the type of trip. Depends on where you're going, time of year and what you're gonna be doing so it really comes down to that.
I do like how she put a bunch of stuff into a big tote for the plane. And a few choice pieces of jewellery - just keep to basics on a trip and the biggest piece of advice I could give about travel packing is take what you're prepared to lose. All that old shitty stuff that's wearing out, pack that. Because if it gets lost or stolen, it doesn't matter. It happened to me. That's how I learned to travel light.
Wise advice
Losing stuff always
Nightmare...😑

Really good video, lots of great tips - I'm thinking that another classic color like navy, chocolate, camel, can work equally well instead of black.
Great point! The black and white is very chic, but that's too much for me personally. I learned years ago, never leave home without blue jeans 😂
Yes. As I have gotten older I don't look as good in black as I used to. Now I use a good dark navy as my "black". I still love black though. So chic.
Yes! I only use navy, croc, or silver/pewter in place of Black.
a black blazer is your best friend! I always travel with one! great video, i love that you showed how you paired the outfits.
Enjoyed your video & ideas. Even though time has passed, I will realign a bit for my age & comfort, I have preplanned & can do almost the same w/comfort & easy roll fabrics for carry on. We've been fortunate in traveling often & retirement has been an adventure. I must admit Skeechers are a must wear now at 76. Just some adaptations to aging needs but thank goodness for 'golf cart vehicles' in big airports!!!!
Happy travels everyone!
Loved this and could have used it a month ago when I overpacked lol!! But one tip my mother gave me years ago (which is same as you but the other way) is to wear a clean outfit for the evening and then dress down the next day. Definitely saving this for the future.
Also thought it would be really good to see up close how you put each item into the carry on.. maybe a part 2? But thank you for sharing 🙏
Your tips snd style is Right On!! I bought the basic blk jacket and the skimpy heels. Wonderful. I always wear blk and white for three weeks travel. The brand I swear by is Vince also linen casual pants and white sleeveless top. I get many compliments. I don’t wear a dress traveling alone unless it’s long in conservative country.
Thank you so much for your guidance!!
Great tips, on my two weeks trip to Italy as it was Sumner I change the pallette colores from black and white to blues and camel, it looks elegant
Love your packing list. Great job. The color palette may seem boring, but for travel this works--and every single day you still look fabulous. Bookmarking this one!
What brand jean are you wearing ?
Very helpful for those of us who don't travel often, and for every day fashion-challenged... I don't have any travel plans, but the outfit ideas are great for home life too! You are just beautiful, I'm so jealous of your makeup and style.
But I really have to know where the carryon tote bag is from! And it looks like a matching suitcase. Probably way more than I can afford, but I'd love to know the brand... I know this video is old (UA-cam just suggested it today) but I hope you still see this and can respond. Hugs!!
What a fabulous looking lady & her packing regime is ace!! She’s sooo very stylish & gorgeous looking and is soo practical & has it off to a tee! Great video with loads of great ideas & loved that she showed each of the outfits! 👏👍🙏🏻 (I wud love to see really that they all fitted into the one carry on bag though?)
What i always Carry is a Big shawl. Can be used to sit on, as a plaid over your knees and over your shoulders. I would never efter lave my House without
Also can use a scarf as a beach sarong coverup
So chic and love the mono chromatic idea because it makes it easy to mix and match outfits especially on vacation and packing with only a carry on!
A girl after my own heart. Black and white is my absolute go to!
I love this travel wardrobe video and keep coming back to it as it’s such a versatile guide to travelling a little bit lighter. I’d be so happy if you could do something similar for a winter trip, preferably for a really cold weather winter trip where you need thermals and lots of layers worn with a hat hat, gloves and scarf. It’s a much more challenging scenario. And I’d also love to see a carryon bag pack for mixed climates with both hot and cold weather destinations in the same trip. I’m in Australia so many of my trips encompass summer and winter packing together. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Sooooo…. After watching this I totally realized I’m a baggage carousal kind of girl. I totally do it! I’ll wait!
Loved your sage wisdom and explanation on how you arrived at your decisions! Really helped seeing each option too! I have a faux leather blazer and carry it for the same reason you trust your leather pants. Which I never thought about until you connected the dots-which are easily cleanable and wipeable. 🤣 So many have suggested to try your line and I haven't yet made the plunge. What is the first item you know will make me come back for more? PS. YOU ARE IN DEED A PACKING GENIUS. Seriously, one tote, one carry on, tata to the luggage carrousel,💥mind blown.
I like the idea with the leather pants and portable mirror. I didn't realize how important the lighting for makeup was until I did my makeup at work in my office. The lighting was dark and the makeup doesn't come out as good when your lighting is bad.
Thanks for tips, I always overpack! Only thing I will say is, small size clothes pack in smaller space than bigger sizes like me, size 12. Definitely some take away tips
I'm a whopping plus size 2XL / 22 - just imagine how much I have to compress into my bag (personal Item only). I've learned to wear/pack SUPER versatile clothes on travel / departure day. Tip: Wash nylon undies in sink or evening shower and drip dry overnight.
I use a few scarves to dress up outfits, wear as a head scarf, or even use as a mask in a pinch
Awesome video! I suck at packing. Its always hodgepodge and then when I get to where I am going I have too much and not happy with my choices ! This is a must watch !!
Thank you, I learned so much from this video. I am a notorious over-packer. I like what you've done here; you've kept it short, sweet, and straightforward. This is a plan that I can work with.
I've done a six-week round the world trip, including attending a week-long convention in Paris, with only a carry-on bag. I wouldn't take the blue jeans and I would swap out the black stuff for purple or navy - black does not suit me, especially around my face. Great packing video though.
Agreed about the blue jeans. Love your tip about navy - tfs!
A women after my own heart! You are a packing genius. I know exactly what to pack now and I don't have to break the bank, because I have most similar items. Thanks so much!
My wardrobe is all off-white/brown/blush so I’m taking your guide with my color palette for packing!
Great video and tips. Definitely will rethink my packing for times I only have a carry on case. But, I have to also include; a travel hairdryer ( not all hotels provide one) tongs, hairbrush, travel adaptor, phone charger, PJ''s and dressing gown/cover up, swimsuit, underwear, beach towel, cleanser, moisturiser, deodorant, etc. That's when things get really tricky. I buy some things in the country I'm travelling to such as sun lotion, shampoo to save space. Think I'll just stay in the Uk with the car, it's easier haha!
Yes, it was great, but she missed pj’s and underwear, including socks. Or maybe I missed when she covered those items.
Well I have to assume she packed toiletries and underwear, she was just focusing on the outfits.
To travel lighter, here’s how I nixed the need for the following:
a travel hairdryer - cut my hair SUPER short. Only need to towel and air dry.
Tongs/curling iron - n/a I have curly hair. But to get texture or curls, I would English braid damp long hair or pin-curl damp or dry long hair overnight. (I worked in my granny's beauty salon)
Hairbrush - I cut my long curly hair SUPER short - I now finger comb, Or use 2-ended afro pick/comb.
travel adapter - I leave devices needing electricity at home, and only use battery operated on trips.
phone charger - my charger is tiny - it packs into snack baggie.
PJ''s - on trips, I like to sleep in sleeveless tunic. OR oversize Tee shirt or Tee & baggy shorts. On final night, I could wear cotton sundress. If cold, I also wear my fave cotton knit full-zip cardigan hoodie w ith pockets. More stylish than hooded sweathirt - and easy to tie on waist....
dressing gown - I found a knee-length, button-down silk sleep shirt. It doubles as robe, shirt, shirtdress, coverup, and duster! (Winter Silks.com - but not available anymore from them).
cover up - I use sarongs and/or T’s for pool and/or a cotton sundress. Sarongs are most versatile!
Swimsuit - I now wear 2-pieces. Tankini camisole top with swim bike/board shorts. Very versatile separates.
Underwear - for bra (44C), I wear a combo camisole/bra- many colors! [from Roamans .com or WomanWithin .com]. For panties, I use nylon and wash & dry overnight. I always bring pantiliners, too. For sox, I wear or pack 1 pair silk crew socks and 1 pair merino wool no-see-um anklets. Either can be worn for sleeping, too! For cold, I wear both.
beach towel - I use the hotel’s towel or my cotton sarong. I’m looking into a lightweight camping towel - but not sure I really need to pack a towel...
cleanser - my trips are so short, I just use the hotel’s complimentary soap.
Moisturizer - I use low SPF sunscreen. For outdoors I add SPF50 sunblock. I’m mixed/black and trying to control a gazillion freckles.
Deodorant - I found effective disposable deodorant towelettes that pack flat!. They’re huge - I tear one in half and use second half for next day.
etc. - for toothbrush/paste - use hotel’s complimentary toothbrush. Or use travel toothbrush. Or use Brush-up towelettes in emergency - they pack flat! For paste, I use old, rolled up travel tube from dentist’s handouts - not full-size tube, not new tube.
Fyi, I also travel with battery-operated baby monitor for it’s white noise generator option PLUS I wear ear plugs.
For sleep mask - I use a satin sleep mask OR in-a-pinch a cotton bandana - which is MOST versatile... tie it anywhere (wrist, neck, headband, handle)
Travel iron - I pack an empty travel-size spray bottle and fill it on arrival with water. Then lightly spritz any wrinkles. They fall out in seconds - or minutes, if stubborn!
I have an ALWAYS t-shirt rule: I ALWAYS pack 1 oversize cotton graphic v-neck tee-shirt. It’s long enough to wear out or as PJs. In a pinch, it could be worn inside-out to make it ‘solid’ for even more days.
Loved loved your video. Timeless and great tips that can be modified for those of us that have a few extra pounds longer tunics over pants... Fabulous affordable. Great great video thank you!❤
I had a book on "The Capsule Concept" in the 1980's! Same information, still very useful...
LOVED YR VIDEO.
I use a similar packing system.
I use only 2 or 3 colors so that all the items I bring on a trip can be mixed & matched for day & evening.
Your favorite strappy heels are fabulous. Even with the straps, they are leg-lengthening. Super wardrobe ideas!
It's always good to see how to pack. It is such a chore for me to even plan what I am going to pack. I am planning a month to six week trip to England and I am having fits about thinking about what I can do to not overdo it. What you packed is good but I am not you. I would not wear what you wear. I know that on a trip what you pack and how heavy it is is what you end up carrying around. Keeping it simple is key. How many pants and how many tops and how many sweaters/jackets/coats to take? England is a mixed bag of weather even in June. You have some great suggestions and I love that mirror. I always struggle in hotel rooms with makeup mirrors.
I’m from Australia and did a European trip which included England for around five weeks a couple of years ago. From memory I took a pair of runners, pair of Birkenstock’s , flat sandals and mid heeled mules which covered all bases. 2 pjs, so I could interchange. About 10 pairs of underwear and a light hooded showerproof jacket. About six t shirts, six pants( jeans and navy and black plants, darker colours are better. 3 long sleeve tops and a couple of hoodies and light cardigans. Take about three singlets to layer. I used space bags which kept things neat and easy to get to and also used one for dirty clothing for the trip home. I found a toiletry bag that hangs on the bathroom door a godsend, packed with essentials made for a quick start in the morning. Coming from Victoria we went in June and I found the weather pretty good about 18-22 Celsius with a bit of rain, I was never cold. Put everything out you want to wear and then take some away. Hope this helps😁🇦🇺. Obviously this was checked in luggage, I’m afraid I’m a bit of an over packer and nowhere near as organised as the lady in this video🥴
In a dream world🤪
Works if you are 30 and under, dont perspire, drip or drop food on your clothes, or be anywhere smokey or smelly (clothes pick up odors).
Been traveling most of my life and more outfits are needed, even if 2-3 more😳
Agree, if you are menopausal and podgy most of these garments won't work. :(
@@bevwilkinson2853 well that was a very negative ‘assumption’ on your part…good luck on aging😳😂
Always carry nail file with me, too!! Used to bite my nails when younger so I hate to have snag or broken nail…real nail emergency, lol!
I'm the same way with nail files! I have them stashed EVERYWHERE--my purse, my car, my office, my desk at home, one in every bathroom... pretty much anywhere I might spend more than about 2 minutes! LOL!
These ideas were excellent! I'll be going on a cruise this December for a week and right after the cruise, onto Florida for a week. So this information will be quite handy. Thanks for sharing!
I love those tips. I have travelled a lot with a carry on and love it. No waiting at the luggage band, no lost luggage. The toiletries was a problem, but now I have shampoo and balsam bar, body lotion bar, parfume bar, and so on 😆 I will definately use these tips next time I travel but with another color scheme.. I look awful in black.. And there will be plenty of room to my outdoor gear wear. And I will use a small rucksack instead of a tote.. the theme of the holiday determines the accessories 😉
I'm flying to the UK in 3 weeks I'd like to know if a carry-on and a backpack would be allowed. Would that not be regarded as 2 pieces of luggage?
@@jen9774 It depends on the airlines rules. I could bring a perse added to my carry on. But I brought a small folding backpack instead. It fit under the seat in front of me. Good to have reading material, chargers and crossword puzzles easily accessible
@@jen9774 when travelling out of the UK, if you're economy it will most likely be counted as 2. Try and fit your backpack into your carry-on if you can, you can take it out as soon as you're through customs to make life easier on the flight x
This was such a great video Christina! It was packed (pun intended 🤣) with so much helpful info! Your outfit interchanging skills are top notch!! 🙌🏽
Glad you liked it - Thank you so much for watching!
I agree!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted some pointers to pack more outfits in a carry on. I learned a lot from your video, and that’s saying something because I was a flight attendant for a decade and lived out of my carry on bag! Thank you.
Ps- the choice of the leather pants is inspired! I’ll be going with a more dressy black ankle pant as I’m over 50.
Just got my first pair of Poly Leather pants! I'm in love, cos there's so many ways to dress them up or down!❤❤❤
Monochromatic can be any color, too. tan/khaki/browns (and white or cream/beige can pair), a couple greens, a couple blues. It’s a tone and hue puzzle to solve.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! I've learned so much from you. I'm a HORRIBLE "packer"!!! LOL! I'm the picture beside the definition for 'everything but the kitchen sink' Haha!! Thanks again ❤👍
Late to the (packing) party, I know ;) but just wanted to say I loved and appreciated your advice in this video. The outfits looked lovely! Unfortunately, in the UK (and I believe most of Europe, and it was definitely the case for me in Dubai and Oz) you're not allowed a carry-on bag plus a tote/handbag if you're travelling economy, and your toiletries have to be in a see-through plastic bag which you have to show at the airport. It's a pain, but still do-able with one piece of carry-on. I tend to pack a foldable tote bag or small handbag into my carry-on. Once I'm through customs, I'll take it out and then put my essentials in there, as I do feel lost without a handbag of some sort! :) Not taking anything away from your video btw, just reality for us economy travellers on this side of the world. :) x
and the carry-on size is sooo small in some countries! but I've done it (Spain using Vueling) by rolling everything into tight sausages held with a hair elastic.
@@Jen.O oops! I cut my hair SHORT and got rid of all my elastics!!! With super short 2" hair, I pack so much less curly hair taming products and hair accessories. Still, rolling is great tip - tfs!
Loved the video but how about your hair? Products, rollers, curling iron, etc?
Thank you for this amazing video!! On my first trip to Italy I was "worried" about what to bring and didn't want to bring a ton of clothes I'd have to carry and probably never wear. I followed your directions and it was the best decision I made. Your suggestions guided me on what I needed to buy and how to maximize the use of my clothes.
Fantastic packing video! Would love to see exactly what makeup, brushes, toiletries and hair items you pack as well! Those items typically take up half my suitcase!! Love these types of videos! 💕
Great idea!! Thank you for watching
I was thinking the same thing! My skin care and hair items take up so much space.
Great video - you've inspired me - will copy this almost to the T! I always take too much away with me. Some people are hopeless at putting a wardrobe together - and I'm one of them! Thanks.
Me too. End of trying to convey every contingency. Then when things don't mix and match I end up only wearing 3 or 4 outfits anyway! Plus a lotta outdoor activities means sweating in tropical areas. I need to check that wash and squeeze bag (forgot the name)
I would love to see a similar video but with clothes that you would use for a summer vacation for example in Italy. Also maybe clothes that The older set can wear and look chic
This is (mostly) fine BUT the advantage of taking checked-in luggage is, that there are things you can't take in your cabin luggage (such as a nail file, penknife etc) which you can carry in your checked-in luggage.
Great combinations. Could you do another color palette for winter clothes?
I also alternate navy and grey for some variety.
On muy last trip to Italy I wear blues and camel, it really works nicely
Is similar to how I have packed for a work trip in a carryon. I always bring a swimsuit and hair appliances, too.
This is awesome! Been looking for new wardrobe ideas & yours is sooo much more flattering that the whole look offered at Kohls I just sadly waded thru! Only I am soooos sick of BLACK BLACK BLACK! It's so everywhere & reminds me of sad pple in Russia who are Super oppressed. I also had to wear black in the past over & over for ministry/singing in conferences. Love what we do....and we wore some colors as well but mostly it was blk & white for yrs. I am an artist/love watercolors & need color in my life. So I will take your ideas & update what black items I have that is still in style & add to them the blouses you show only find some maybe in shimmer Lt pinks. Keep these ideas coming. They really help as I like your style! Thanks so much!
I also mostly wear black with colourful multi tshirts also can wash clothes in hair or shower gel if needed
Very economical and strategic packing. Can't wait to imply your tips when packing for the Dec holiday. Brilliant video
I want to know the where you bought your tote bag and what brand is that?
I think that's a Coach bag
What fantastic tips. I just found your channel even though I use jouer makeup but it looks like you haven't posted in a year. Why don't you come back with updated version of all your videos. We are here for you.
Thank you . You’re a treat to watch, and so helpful! I’ve traveled the world, but still learned a thing or two.
Do you have an update for this topic for 2023? I love your travel advice
Great suggestions! Could you also do one for winter? This is where I always struggle because of the bulk of sweaters. I do use thinner materials like merino wool and cashmere so I can layer, but these still seem to fill up a carry-on quickly!
My absolute favourite packing/styling video ever!!!!! Please do more!
I'd love to see you pack into a European size cabin bag, especially flying with an airline where you are only allowed one bag, no tote or handbag.see sizes and weights for Jet 2, Easy Jet, Ryanair.
You've gotten a new subscriber with this video! I'm so glad I found you! You've made selecting clothes and packing so much easier! Could you do a feature on if you're transitioning from work to an evening look?
I Always bring flip flops or flat sandals to walk around hotel room, or if warm , for pool or beach…
For Color Palette; Just Combine Two or three of your favorite Colors. For Some people is Blue & White. For other is Red & Blue & White, for Some is Green & White. For Some people is Taupe/Beige & Black Or White, etc.
Such great information!!! Thank you! I usually have issues with fitting my shoes in my one-only luggage. I do not know how you possibly fitted all that and still just have a carry-on. Good on you. I am going to give it a try. I adore your mirror.
Also i check that the jumper is large so you can fit a cami and or t shirt under it if cold or can strip off when u get to hot country
Excellent packing video. Everything packed is something I would actually wear!
I this will be very helpful to cut down on packing too much will definitely add a little more color and variation to wardrobe selection
I love mix and match!!!! Versatility and fun too. Thank you ❤ 😊
one of the best travel wardrobe videos I've seen. so helpful. TY!
Love these ideas!! Beautiful items and smart ideas with the sanitizing kit!! Would love to see more of these videos❤
I'd love to see a similar video for cold weather.
Loved this video! I wish you did more like this. I am an experienced traveler but I still picked up a few tips, thanks!
I'm like you : everything in ONE bag period. No one remembers "what I wore" while I travel. And I love your products :)
Greetings from Washington, the DC area - first-time subscriber! Great tips, and perhaps I'll try for my upcoming five-day trip home to my family in California! I'm so bad about overpacking whenever I travel, either domestic or overseas! Thank you for sharing your tips!
I really loved this! You are a genius. Still fresh and relevant. I didn't realize how many dupes there were for my favorite designer tops. I will be better prepared now and will pack dupes so I don't have to worry about losing my luggage. Thank you.
I would love a what to pack for HOT weather vacay. Traveling to Italy 🇮🇹 (🤞). 90+ degree weather and beach town changes things just slightly ♥️
Would love to see how you fold it all up ...they look so lovely and wrinkle free....thank you...I don't travel much anymore so this is very helpful
No idea if she does this, but I roll up every piece of clothing, except for underwear, they are already folded Marie Kondo way. Never have wrinkled clothing.
Great list and ideas! I keep a bunch of masks in the car glove compartment also because I often forget to bring one wth me.
I havn't watched the video yet, but I wanted to make a comment: The "Teaser" on the screne was brilliantly done, and gets your total measage out before we can watch the video!! Great!
This is amazing. I just went away for four days and took a full size suitcase 😂
Ha ha I feel ya, but hopefully next time you'll be in a carry on
That's not normal?????🤔😂
Fantastic! I can’t believe the difference the evening shoes make! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I rarely fly, so I take my real luggage, plus one carry-on. I would rather have what I need, I'm not sure I'd wear the same trousers ( or jeans or whatever) in the day and then that night. I always take 2 pairs of black jeans.
2 dresses. 3 pair of shoes. Moto jacket.
Lacy camisoles. I like wearing a separate ensemble at night, that's just me, lol.
Good tips, though. Thank you.
I love how you are providing this information most of the content creators only provide the real deal and everyone can’t afford them so it’s nice to have a dupe. I like the H Q D U P S dupe bags
This is great!
Do you have a video for packing for a beach vacation? Thank you!
Hello Christina! THANK YOU so much for these traveling outfit ideas! You have changed the way I pack for vacations. Great ideas!
God bless you!
