Packed Up

September 9th, 2009

As you read this, I’m in the air heading to New York for Fashion Week.  Packing for a trip is hard enough, but deciding what to bring to one of most fashionable weeks of the year proved to be infinitely challenging.  I followed a rather time-consuming method that involved a really detailed list (we’re talking teeny squares where I checked off items I had packed) and laying out everything I was going to pack before throwing it into my suitcase.  Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming with me to New York.

    You pack really well. I don’t know if I could ever bring such a specific amount of clothing! I always manage to change my mind and try on 4 different outfits before I settle on something.

    Have a great time in New York! I just came back from NYC on Monday, and the weather is nice and cool. I wish I was there for Fashion week! I hope you get a chance to sight-see while you’re there!

    xoxo,
    Victoria

    I wish I was this organized when packing. I usually wait until the night before a flight and then dump loads of unwanted things into my bag. I’m getting better, but still have a long way to go!
