Post 6/8 - The purpose of the "One Suitcase" feature is to try to show you how you can pare down your packing list when you travel without sacrificing the number or variety of outfits you have for the range of activities your trip may entail. I have learned through trial and error (and the pain of lugging wayyy too big a suitcase) that by packing a few favorite & versatile pieces of clothing I can mix and match the items into a surprising number of outfit options. You just have to do a little planning up front. Hopefully the posts this week will show you my method and help you find the potential of the clothes you already have in your closet!

You are SO good at this! I love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, LOVE this series and blog.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite piece you own is that striped shirt. It's just so versatile! I have two striped short-sleeved shirts with closer stripes, but I like this one much better and will probably add this to my wardrobe soon.
Yay! Thanks! I'm so glad you are enjoying the posts! :)
