Holiday packing can be painful. To squeeze two weeks or even a weekend of outfits into one suitcase proves to be traumatic. 
As I have been travelling most of the summer I have had to master the art of packing. What can be worn with what and how many times? How will this dress go without ironing? Can this dress be washed and dried easily if dirtied?

Most of the items I picked for this vay-cay can be worn with every other piece that I have packed. I packed scarves to tie around my head or add to a bag to change up a look. I brought sheer printed cover ups (think of a kimono type jacket) to dress up an outfit and also cover my shoulders in certain countries. I brought tanks and T-shirts to rotate with my shorts and skirts and my maxi dresses can be washed easily and worn to the beach or later to sacred sites for modesty.  
I know a lot of thinking went into this packing but doing the work upfront allows for a bit more room to take things home later on. 


I just love unpacking and hanging everything up, don't you?!
