Carry-on life

Your Stylist only packs dresses that work overtime

Morning fashion friends! Hopefully the sun is shining where you are. I’m currently loading up a carry-on for a trip that’s shorter than the time I’ve spent packing for it.

My process is chaotic, but effective. I put all the clothes on the couch/bed - ideally a rack if I have one handy. I put outfits together and TAKE PICS to remember the pieces I want to wear together. ALC cropped tank (I’m wearing a M), The Great white skirt, basket bag from Cesta Collective

When it comes to the parameters of a carry-on, preparation is everything and that means outfit planning, and pieces that work overtime. As in, “throw on some jewelry and wear that beach dress to dinner!”

This Doen dress does two jobs: make it casual and wear it over a bathing suit with flip flops, or pair it with a heeled sandal and bag for night

Was and probably always will be the perfect flip flop

An effortless heeled sandal for summer nights from Reformation

A perfect summer bag from Jcrew

More hardworking dresses:

Simon Miller mini dress

Button front dress I got at Target this week (and bag) Necklace is Agmes

This twist detailed dress from H&M (if you click on the link, note the white T underneath styling… more to come on that)

More things I won’t leave without:

Amazon pill case - I use one for meds and one for jewelry

My goes with everything tank from Joe’s (and creative director/Hailey Bieber stylist Dani Michelle) paired with my Foundry for fewer zeroes

And this cleansing balm, which is like the Dyson of cleansing balms. It picks up every last bit of makeup and sunscreen and leaves your face incredibly soft.

It’s a joy to have you along on my fashion (and packing) journey, and an even bigger joy to be part of yours! See you next week.
