POTENTIAL PACKING LIST

clothing

  • 4 pairs of jeans
  • 1 pair of slacks and pink blouse
  • 3 dresses (1 formal, 2 casual)
  • Grey boots, brown boots, grey flats, brown flats(?), flip flops for shower, one pair of sandals, coral heels(?) This might be way too much. I might eventually toss the grey boots (sadly) because they’re pretty worn out at the bottom.
  • All undergarments, 8 or so pairs of socks
  • 2 pairs of tights (black, purple. I WANT MORE)
  • 3 skirts (black/grey striped, short grey, short black, maybe white if it fits)
  • as many shirts as I can fit (pretty much all my dressyish tanktops can be worn year-round for partying, they’re also great for layering)
  • 4 pajama bottoms (1 short, 3 long)
  • 4 pajama tops
  • black wool coat (this is gonna take up so much room, ugh)
  • red Delia’s coat
  • MAYBE thin beige coat, if there’s room. but, there probably won’t be
  • 1 hoodie
  • grey J.Crew cardigan, perfect for warm or cool weather. probably wouldn’t bring another sweater. i hate sweaters.
  • workout stuff.. pair of sweats and white sneakers.

other random stuff I need

  • adaptor/convertor
  • Contact lens solution (er…4 bottles. crap.)
  • Flat iron? I’ve been advised against doing this but I don’t know how I can part with my beautiful straightener. It might just kill me.
  • my jewelry. I just lol’d.
  • makeup/nail polish. I just lol’d even harder.
  • sunglasses. I’m only gonna be able to bring 2 pairs, if even that

I’ve never REALLY packed well before (drive to college, vacations usually short enough so I don’t need that much stuff) so I don’t even know if this stuff will fit in a suitcase.  4 pairs of jeans will take up plenty of space along with 4 bottles of contact lens solution. SHARE YOUR PACKING SECRETS WITH ME, SULTANS OF PACKING. aka people who fly often.
