After being quarantined for so long, we are eager to vacation, but the question often arises, “What do I pack?” I have created a “Basics List” that I use for myself that helps me pack what I need without taking my entire closet with me!
This allows you to bring any item of clothes you want to wear regardless of the fabric type.
I can’t tell you how many times this little magic pen has saved me! From spots on my husband’s cuffs to makeup on my collar, I never travel without it.
I like to call this the “MacGyver” item. You can use it to hem an item of clothing, fix the gap between buttonholes, keep your bra straps in place, even use it to keep your necklace from turning and slipping to show the clasp. It’s a fix all.
To look pulled together — it’s all about the details. So, having lint, animal fur or dust can make you look less than your personal best.
Cubes help keep like items together and protected while traveling. It also keeps you organized while on your trip.
Basic white and basic black, quality T-Shirts.
A pair that can be dressed up or down.
One lightweight knit sweater that can be used as a layering piece.
A structured pair that can easily take you from day to evening.
If you are doing a lot of walking, flats are a must! Choose a neutral-colored pair of shoes that will match most everything in your suitcase.
Bring a basic white pair and if you’ll be exercising while on your trip, an athletic pair.
A neutral-colored blazer can elevate any outfit instantly. It can also act as another layering piece if the weather gets chilly.
This type of shirt is a classic piece that can be formal AND casual!
Bring one pair of stud earrings and one set of hoops.
A simple watch can go with anything.
A linked necklace works well with many looks.
Bring one that can be worn cross-body AND as a clutch. Select any neutral color — I always opt for black or brown.
An incredibly versatile accessor, it can be worn in many different ways: tied in your hair, around your neck, on the strap of your purse, or even tied on your wrist.
A leather belt that is reversible (Black and brown work best.)
