then something takes over.
what if it's cold (or hot)? if i go out, i need to bring ______(fill in the blank)
i once compiled a list of how to pack for any number of days by bringing 10 easy pieces
it went something like this:
- skirt
- blazer
- shirt
- pair of jeans
- sweater set (i count this as one)
- slacks
- light weight shirt/T shirt
- dress
- trenchcoat
- dressy top
i certainly did not count shoes, underwear, sleepwear or accessories, but i think that one really could travel for indefinite periods with these items
select mix and match separates and no more than two pairs of shoes. make sure the separates, especially tops, are made of easy care fabrics that you can hand wash and dry overnight.
lay everything out on your bed and experiment with different combinations. dress them up or down with accessories.
select one pair of sturdy, comfortable shoes for everyday wear. a second, lightweight pair of sandals or flats for evening.
sleepwear, underwear and one medium sized handbag should do it.
someday i will try this.
