Weekend Getaway

How do you not overpack? I’m literally going to be leaving midday Friday, and returning home on Sunday. We are going to a wedding and I have like five outfits packed for “just in case” 🙃 what are your hacks to actually keep it simple?

Get a small bag then pack that, move to a bit bigger of a bag when ur done then add stuff to keep ur mind occupied and anything you may have forgotten. With a smaller bag your forced to pack lighter!

I also recommend rolling you’re clothes and for sure research like expectopretzel just said. I find it helpful when I think clearly about what I am going to do and what I really actually need.

This is me 100%. It’s even worse now that I’m a mother 😅 I’m just like yep all the outfits for my son and I..even if we’re gone for a few days 😂 What’s helped me is knowing the weather and how active we’ll be. Will we be outside? Will we go out to eat? Will I need to walk a lot?

Look at the weather and pack layers. I’ll let myself have the “just in case” outfits because it eases my anxiety. But I’ll try to pack only the necessary pants/shorts and then pack a few extra shirts.
