Capsule Packing
November 17, 2016

Â
If you've been paying attention to Pintrest lately, you've probably seen capsule wardrobes floating on your feed. These minimalist choices are supposed to help streamline your life by giving you mix-and-match, no-brainer clothing options.
Â
I tried giving it a whirl for an upcoming trip, and I'll let you know how the choices work out.
Â
I'm spending a very casual four-night, five-day trip in Missouri in late October. For me this will mean soccer games, movies, and hanging out. My packing options look like this:

Three pants
Six tops
Three sweaters
Two shoes
One scarf
Â
This will give me a minimum of six outfits, without washing. In a carry-on.
Here's how they play out.

I'll wear a short sleeve turtleneck, black sweater, jeans, and boots on the plane so I can pull layers on or off. I can wear the shirts alone if we have a warm snap, but in my experience, Missouri is FLAT and the wind makes things feel so much colder to my southern skin!
Â
You can see from the first photo how much I'm able to get into my carry-on bag. All of the outfits, plus sleepware and a sweatshirt. I'm feeling a little smug!
Â
How about you? Have you tried capsule packing? How did it work out?
