Packing

Tonight, I’m excitedly packing for my trip! The girls and I have shared numerous phone calls and emails asking:  “What are you wearing to the club?”  “How many pairs of shoes are you packing?”  “Do I take my big suitcase or my really big suitcase?”  For all you travellers, here is my short-ish list of things to pack for a five-day trip to NYC.  (Why bother packing too much when you are travelling to Shopping-Heaven?)

-          1 coat

-          1 scarf

-          1 blazer

-          1 pair of jeans

-          2 party tops (these should work for both day and night)

-          1 party dress (I’m lying – who packs one? What if the other one is cuter on you that day? We are entitled to freedom of choice, no?)

-          3 tank tops or T-shirts

-          2 sweaters

-          1 pair of flats

-          1 pair of high heels

-          1 pair of flat boots

-          A largish purse

-          An evening clutch

-          1 umbrella (the rule of thumb is: pack an umbrella and it won’t rain.)  

-          Jewelry

-          Undergarments (People, don’t be stingy. I once went on a camping trip and didn’t pack enough underwear. Don’t let it happen to you. The moral of this story is: don’t go camping.)
