What to Pack on Vacation 🙏🏻

Lets be real - packing is not easy. I personally always overpack and bring wayyy to much stuff for a weekend getaway. But thats what being human is, we all make mistakes and we can learn from them in the long run. I have packed so much in my life for mini vacays and longer trips that I decided to make this easy to follow packing list.

This is tailored to a 3-5 day trip*

Tops-

When deciding what tops to bring on vacations, I always focus on the basics. Bring shirts that make you look and feel good. Always have versatile tops that can be paired with any bottoms. Basics don't have to be plain, think of cute tops that are your absolute favorites.

Here's what I usually pack:

- 3 white, black, or neutral tops

- 1 sleep tee

- 1 jacket or sweater

- 1-2 fun tops

I typically wear my biggest clothes on the way there (plane or car ride) to conserve space and that way I can stay comfortable. Usually I don't sweat when I sleep so 1 sleep tee is enough for me. Always bring a light jacket or something to keep you warm for the nights when you go out especially if it can get a little chilly. 1-2 fun tops can be perfect for pictures, or just to spice up a look.

Bottoms-

When you are packing bottoms, remember to bring what you really need. Living in California is perfect weather for bringing a variety of pants/ shorts/ skirts. I typically bring some warmer bottoms such as pants and a few shorts when I know the weather will be hot. Some skirts are perfect cause you can either dress it up or down.

Here's what I usually pack:

- 2 jeans

- 1 pair of leggings

- 2 shorts or a skirt

Personally I bring a pair of mom jeans for the comfort and style they offer. Then 1 pair of skinny jeans are ideal for me. I live in leggings so I always pack them everywhere. The shorts I usually bring are black loose and flowy. They are so comfortable and can go with anything. Then I typically bring a pair of jean shorts that are super comfortable and they fit me really well. I would only bring a skirt when I wanna look a little fancier or even a black denim skirt that is very stylish.

Dresses or Rompers-

I typically love bringing rompers or dresses because it is a fully look and barely takes up room in my bag. Dresses have really made a comeback and they are perfect for the summer weather.

Here's what I usually pack:

- 1 dress

- 1 romper

Bring whatever makes you feel and look good. You can either dress up or dress down a cute feel good dress/ romper.

Any extras-

If you are going near the water, then definitely pack a bathing suit or two. Traveling is never the place to bring never worn clothes. Always bring things that feel secure and make you happy. I usually wear 1 pair of shoes and I don't even bother packing an extra, especially for such a short trip.

Don't forget about any intimates that will be needed and all your chargers and toiletries. Those can be fitted to your needs and whatever you need.

Well thanks for reading and I hope this packing list will help in your travels.
