When packing to travel just about anywhere at all - it really does help to make a list of things you absolutely can not forget and would feel naked without. My absolute favorite part about packing is putting together outfits before they go in the bag & to make sure each piece goes with more than one thing to ensure as many outfit options as possible!
Here is a 10 step by step list of what I do when packing for a warm trip:
1. Dig out suitcase & see if i'll be needing the medium one or large one
2. Pack undergarments of all sorts
(including PJ's!)
3. Bathing suits
-one piece
-bikini
4. Will you be needing socks for any reason? If so - pack a couple of pairs
(even if its just for the plane ride!)
5. Lay out all of your basics - those are usually the first things I pack ! Be sure to pack simple items that can be mixed and matched along the trip
-shorts
-pants
-skirts
-tshirts
-tank tops
6. Dig out any layering pieces - such as jackets, sweaters, cardi's, cozies, scarves
7. Pick out a "hand-full" of day time outfits besides your basics
-dresses
-jumpers
-coverups
8. Find shoes that are practical and that match more than 3 of your outfits - whether it be flats, heels, wedges, sneakers, etc!
-flip flops
-heels for dressing up
-casual shoes
-flats
-sneakers
9. Now find a "hand-full" of dresses that also happen to go with some of the shoes you chose for daytime as well as add 2-3 pairs of shoes that are strictly for evening wear, if you're feeling fancy!
10. Accessories!
-bags (day & night) including your travel purse & wallet
-hats (day & night)
-sunnies
-head bands
-hair wraps
-silk robe
-jewelry
-electronics
-headphones
-any chargers you may need
-toiletries
-snacks
-plane ticket &/or passport if needed
Print out this list and you'll be sure to never forget what you need when traveling ever again!
