The Light and Efficient Packing Technique

I’m notorious for over packing, but I’ve finally found a way to pack lightly and efficiently and still have several different potential outfits. So what’s this life changing packing trick you might ask? It’s simple, just count down:

5-4-3-2-1

My favorite combination is 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 layering options, and 1 dress

I always add in 1 of each accessory as well: sunglasses, watch, hat, scarf, and bag

My typical layering options are always a jean jacket (these will never go out of style in my eyes) then either a cardigan or blazer.

This trick is so simple and can be adapted in so many ways!

Beach vacation? 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 dresses, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 swimsuit

Prefer dresses? 5 dresses, 4 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 layering option

Gonna be cold? 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 sweaters, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 coat

Only a weekend trip? Skip the 5 and pack 4 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 pairs of shoes, and 1 layering option

The possibilities are endless and it’s not limited to neutrals so feel free to add some color to your wardrobe!

The beauty of this is that you don’t have to be a style expert as this is completely adaptable to what your style and needs are to have an amazing vacation.
