The Ultimate Packing List

Published: May 25, 2017 · Modified: Mar 13, 2018 by Kit · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

Today I am sharing all of my favorite clothing and travel gear. These are the things that I can't leave home without. When I pack I like to keep things simple. I focus on packing the basics - always two pairs of jeans and a variety of tanks, tees, sweaters, and blazers for layering. Then I add in a couple bold statement pieces that can be mixed and matched. Less is more, and I always try to pack things that I can wear multiple times. I limit myself to 3 pairs of shoes, and 1 super versatile handbag or backpack per trip. The list below features what I have been bringing on recent trips!
