I know, you probably think I’m crazy, to pack it ALL in a weekender bag, when normally I’m the one with a large suitcase, a cary on and a large personal bag. I am the queen of over packing, I get it from my best friend who practically brings her whole closet when she visits, and we usually go shopping. A girl’s gotta have options. I am trying to be more of a capsule wardrobe girl, or at least having more mix and match pieces than can transition from season to season. And I don’t know why I feel like I need to pack 3 outfits a day when in reality I’ll wear the same outfit two days in a row.
So what do I pack. I do workout daily so I bring a few sports bras, tanks and leggings. One pair of Pjs, a few shorts, a pair of jeans or faux leather leggings to dress it up for an evening, a few different shirts that can mix in match with shorts, jeans or leggings. A few dresses that I can dress up or down depending on the shoes, and a sweater that I can throw over a dress to change up the look, or mix with any bottoms. Of course I get cold at the drop of the hat so I always bring a leather jacket and a denim jacket to keep warm. For shoes, I bring active shoes, a few pair of sandals and a pair of wedges. Less is more on vacation. You want to be enjoying where you are not spending hours figuring out what to wear. So having pieces that mix and match is the way to go, Wear a dress during the day, throw on a sweater when it gets cool, then switch it out for a leather jacket for date night. Three different looks and only three pieces!
Here are some of the pieces I packed.
And now this is the big game changer. A nice weekender bag that has a separate shoe compartment. This thing is amazing, I can totally see it being used as a diaper bag since it has a zippered bottom section. Its definitely an investment piece but I’ve already used it so much, for a San Diego getaway, and for some blogger photo shoots. It was nice being able to pack all my stuff in a cute bag vs lugging a suitcase around. Sole Society does a great job with all their bags and I love their wedges.
I love the zippered section because I can fit all my shoes and hair products in there. I tend to always buy travel sizes of all my beauty products so I don’t have to lug around a huge bottle. I have two smaller bags that fit all my travel skincare and makeup. I purchased them from Cuyana the big one is perfect for my makeup and skin care, and the smaller one I use for toothbrush, toothpaste, and cotton swabs.
This weekender bag has seriously has been the best purchase I’ve made in 2019.
Look at all the space. Its huge! and I love that you can wear it on your shoulder or on your forearm. You won’t regret this purchase.
So there you have it, it is possible to pack for a weekend with one bag. And I plan on using this when I go out of town for my besties bachelorette in a few weeks. So where are you planning on traveling this summer?
