Before you pack your actual travel bag (I hate to say bags) it is always best to lay your clothes out on a bed or table in accordance to the outfits you plan to wear. Print out a copy of the “Daily Charts” included on my website. (mimipackslight.com) Then fill in what you think you might use with a pencil so you can erase if needed. Then organize each day of your trip with the appropriate outfits. Keep in mind that you do not need to pack every “fantastic” or favorite thing you own. YOU ONLY NEED TO PACK WHAT YOU NEED! Even though you look like Madonna in that deep red sequence cocktail dress that you just had to have, don’t pack it if you are going away with your girlfriends for a weekend spa retreat. Save the dress for the appropriate venue and you will be rewarded by a lighter bag and God forbid the horror of leaving it behind at the hotel. For longer trips I will lay out a few slacks and then one on top of the other the tops I will coordinate with each of those pairs of pants. This can be done with skirts and shorts as well. Alway keep in mind how many days you will be traveling. It is highly unlikely that you will need more then 8 tops for a four day trip.
