How not to overpack

If there is one thing the Kardashians have taught me (and it is the only thing they ever taught me) it's to try on all your clothes before going on a trip. 

I like to slow travel with style. When there is limited space luggage space styling outfits feels like added stress to the pre vacation rush.

Take a picture. It's easier than remembering

3. Cherry Pick

Look at the vibe board you've created. Pick out the "must" outfits. . Now to add some cherry to the cake. 

4. FUNctional

You don't have to pack hiking boots for a stroll. But a pair of practical shoes may be needed if your planning to max 20k steps. 

3 essentials I always pack. 
A shoe that I know I can spend the entire day in (Dr Martens these day)
An indoor outfit for getting brunch in the hotel (tshirt and shorts)
A warm layer
