When my sister and I headed to Vegas several weekends ago I was determined to fit everything into a small carryon suitcase. I’m notoriously known for overpacking, so I knew that if I was methodical, and planned my outfits out right, that I could make it happen. We didn’t want to waste anytime at the airport waiting for our luggage (we had better things to get to…. like a glass of champagne…) so I had some extra motivation as well….
Obviously for two dang nights I was able to pull this off (and TBH, if I hadn’t I would have been quite disappointed in myself…), but it got me thinking…. could I do this for a week? What you see above is my well thought out capsule wardrobe for a 7 night getaway. I’ve brought all the pieces you see above alone with me to Hawaii and they’ve been mixed + matched so many different times. There are 21 items above, all fold easily, don’t take up much space, and if I did my calculations correctly, you can get 10 causal outfits, 7 beach outfits, + 8 going out outfits from these pieces (of course, you don’t need all these items and could easily pair it down….). I’m breaking down the outfits for you below:
