Bag Lady "You Gon' Hurt Yo Back"

Let’s be honest, being a woman is tough sh**! It amazes me how men can pack a suitcase in 20 minutes without even thinking about it; and unfortunately for us ladies, it’s not the same. We have to be prepared for any occasion. At the drop of a dime our mood may change or what we planned on wearing just isn’t working. So in order for us to be ready for anything what do we do? Just throw it in the bag!

I used to be the girl who would pack three suitcases for two or three day trip. (I mean a girl needs her shoes right?!) When I would return home from a trip and unpack my suitcase, I realized I hadn’t worn half of what I packed. Over time I got tired of dragging multiple suitcases around. So I made it my goal to downsize while traveling. Here’s what I did.

Packing List:

  • Neutral heels: can be paired with multiple clothing items.
  • One pair of comfortable sneakers to workout/walk in.
  • One pair of leggings and jeans
  • Two blouses and a nice dress
  • Makeup
  • Curling iron​

Trust me it was difficult doing this the first couple times, but it made traveling so much easier and saved so much time. So in the words of Ms. Eryka Badu herself “pack light!”
