What kind of packer are you?

Travelling light

How is it that some people can bring a tiny carry on bag with them on holidays and manage to look fantastic every day/night with a seemingly endless number of outfits while others haul through the airport with bulging suitcases and yet never have the ‘right’ clothes when they arrive at their destination. Which one are you? I regularly help clients plan and pack for their trips. I developed a wardrobe plan for myself which I swear by and now wouldn’t go anywhere without it. Like any plan it may seem a bit tedious as it involves writing down every item of clothing you intend to bring, including accessories. By writing it down you will put outfits together. I also advise sticking to certain colours so that everything mixes and matches. By figuring it out beforehand and sticking to your plan you will only bring the amount you actually need. My fella always brings far more than he could ever wear, even going so far as to pack a suit, just in case there’s a funeral!! Did you ever! It’s amazing how great you feel when you plan beforehand and get to actually wear everything you brought. Sure a girl needs to have a bit of space left for the bits and bobs she buys.
