How Should I Pack for A Weekend Getaway?
1- Weekend Travel Bag

2 – Clothing for Weekend Trip
I travel with my duffel bag to fit everything, planning my outfits based on the activities. Before my trip, I took pictures on my phone. Kourtney Kardashian’s stylist influences me, and it’s a productive idea. Taking photos will help you avoid overpacking and remember which items of clothing you have. With that said, the essential clothing items for a weekend trip are leggings, socks, jeans, a shirt or V-neck, a sweater, a dinner/party outfit, and a business suit in case I need to go somewhere that requires a corporate appearance. I also love packing merino wool. It’s odour-resistant, meaning you can wear one shirt all weekend and still look fresh. Otherwise, below is a clothing checklist.
- Casual outfit
- Pajamas
- Dinner/Party Outfit
- Dress
- Flats
- Flip flop
- Sneakers
- Sexy Heel/Pump
- White Button up
- Leggings/Biker shorts
- Jeans
- Gold Jewelry
- Sunglasses for the streets
