Because they are opaque, I don’t have to feel embarrassed when I have to my open my suitcase for security check at airport. On the way back, I put dirty laundry in them. When I come back home, I just throw them into washing machine. They don’t look fancy but make it very easy to unpack, too! – Have a nice trip!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798692844430565836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-82372108786044971872009-06-21T17:09:42.402-07:002009-06-21T17:09:42.402-07:00I agree w/Kate on zip lock bags.

I put the dirties in that and it frees up more room because inevitably you are coming back with more than you left with. <br /><br />Another tip I read is after you pack, go back through and eliminate a few pieces. As someone said you usually don't wear everything. <br /><br />HAVE FUN!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-19274654362027717692009-06-19T20:18:37.414-07:002009-06-19T20:18:37.414-07:00I ALWAYS bring a few large zip lock bags - they co...I ALWAYS bring a few large zip lock bags - they come in handy somehow or another, from dirty laundry to loose accessories to toiletries!

Also just remember you never end up wearing all the clothes and shoes you bring :) Have a great trip!Pakcolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375980668473918411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-29978147367512316832009-06-18T06:44:23.441-07:002009-06-18T06:44:23.441-07:00Fun!! have a great trip.

I coordinate the same bottoms with different tops for 2-3 outfits and pack them stacked together. I include a dress or two for outfits, they take up less room. I also have 2-3 sweaters/sweatshirts that go together with all of the outfits, and wear one of them on the plane to save space. I also wear jeans on the way so I don't have to pack any (pick one more pair for the week, maybe). For shoes, have one "go to" pair of sandals that match everything, one pair of heels, and one pair of sneakers. Pack accessories/toiletries in the shoes to save space.<br /><br />Have a few less number of outfits for the # of days you will be gone, and just repeat/mix-up when necessary. That way you don't over pack and add things you won't wear. Oh, and bring some febreze! Saves tons of packing space ;)<br /><br />Have fun!!!Tina Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450972908032011681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-6653915849017970392009-06-17T18:26:03.804-07:002009-06-17T18:26:03.804-07:00Love your blog and I visit often, but this is the ...Love your blog and I visit often, but this is the first time I've commented! My advice is bring lots of layering pieces - tees, tanks, cardis. I like to pack neutral bottoms - like khaki or denim - and then bring a variety of tops/jackets in colors. I always pack at least 4 pairs of shoes- flip flops, sandals, a closed toe and tennis shoes. I pack minimal jewelry and one belt. Don't forget your bathing suit and cover up! HTH! :)Crewbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365276463700543652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-55715704065120725192009-06-17T16:13:38.146-07:002009-06-17T16:13:38.146-07:00Definitely "roll"!

However, my one tip is to "roll" your clothes instead of folding. Less wrinkling, and it takes up less room. Also pack things like socks and panties last because you can just shove them anywhere!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-54888316109907994292009-06-17T14:33:24.743-07:002009-06-17T14:33:24.743-07:00hey liz!

I am a horrible packer too, but on the advice of other bloggers, started to try to pick a color palette and stick to it, so all the pieces are interchangeable. I did it for a recent trip (concentrated on grays - it was a conference so I needed to be a little dull) and it really helped!<br /><br />Gingersnap had a post awhile ago about it: http://gingersnaptoit.blogspot.com/2009/06/vacay-lilly-dresses.html<br /><br />hope that helps! and trust me, you are not alone! and my problem isn't just limited to clothes - I always bring a ton of school books and then do NO work!katerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577687033679613691noreply@blogger.com
