Okay! My husband will be the first to tell you that I am no stranger to overpacking for pretty much every occasion and trip we have ever taken together in our lifetime! It is a chronic problem for sure….but one I was finally able to combat on our recent trip to France and England. Twelve days abroad…two of which were on an airplane going and coming. Also had to include outfits for a wedding at the end of the trip! Let me tell you….it was a challenge, but I actually came up with a very wearable, comfortable, and functional capsule wardrobe!

My biggest tip in it all! Start packing and planning early! I literally grabbed a rolling rack and hung up everything….and I mean everything I was thinking of taking….about two weeks in advance. I kept an eye on the weather which ended up changing while we were there, but I was prepared because I had planned in some light layers!

And when I finally put all of the pieces into a suitcase, we didn’t even have to start with the bags expanded! My husband and I completed our travels with a carry-on size and a medium sized suitcase! Stay tuned for a blog post about all the details of our trip, but for now enjoy these items that are great for right now and for transitioning right into fall! Cheers!!

Here are all of my combinations, and the items (or similar items) are linked below!
