Ultimate Packing Hack
Ready to pack for your next vacation with just your carry-ons? I’m here to share my ultimate packing hack so you can do just that!
I've travel a LOT, and mastered the art of packing! Case in point: just breezed through packing for a 3-week Florida getaway with my carry-on and weekend bag. Now, I'm here to share my secret weapon so you can nail your next Disney adventure... or any trip really!
I get it - you want it all, neeeeed it all, and those 'just in case' items start creeping in! Next thing you know, you're sitting on your suitcase, praying for that zipper to work its magic! And don't even get me started on those luggage fees and weight limits.
Say goodbye to luggage wrestling and hello to extra space for souvenirs!
Drumroll, please... Enter my secret weapon: the STYLEBOOK app. You can download the app HERE. But let’s chat about it, first!
Create Your Closet
Once you've got the app, start by virtualizing your wardrobe. Snap pics of your clothes and add them to your “Closet”. You can also add in details like colors, brands, and cost for each item.
This step might take a while, but trust me, it's key! If it feels overwhelming, take it slow - focus on tees one day, shorts the next. If time's running short, just add the clothes you're eyeing for that trip.
Create Your Looks
After your “Closet” is all set, it's time to create your “Looks”!
Picture this: 7 days at Disney, non-consecutive. I've mapped out my looks around packing one cute bag and one pair of ears. I’m also packing 2 pairs of quick-dry shorts for sink-washing and 6 tops.
You may notice I have 3 different bags in my looks pictured above, let me explain. Luckily, I've got family near Disney World so I stash my extra bags and ears at their house, saving me tons of room in my luggage. If you can swing a similar setup, I highly recommend it!
Create Your Packing List
Now, let's get cracking on that packing lists! Here's where the magic unfolds. Add your “Looks” to a “Packing List”, and watch STYLEBOOK whip up a packing plan, a checklist, a shareable infographic, and room for your own notes!
Adjust Your Packing List
Once your list is in front of you, spot any wiggle room. Do you really need 3 pairs of kicks? Could you ditch one purse? Maybe laundry mid-trip and outfit remixing is the ticket to traveling light. Now is the time to make adjustments.
I once caught myself packing an extra pair of sneakers with plans to wear them ONCE. Lesson learned - not worth the space when shopping awaits!
Start Packing!
Once you perfected your list it’s time to pack! STYLEBOOK has you covered with the packing checklist. Simply check each item as you add it to your luggage.
This app has been a game-changer for my trip prep and light packing adventures.
