Packing Light: Your 9-Piece Travel Wardrobe

With the holidays upon us, for many it's a chance to pack up and hit the road for a holiday escape. For those of you ready to head somewhere for a bit of R&R, I have shared some of my grooviest packing tips in the video below!

 

Appearing recently on Channel 9 in Australia, I show you the secret to packing light this holiday with just 9 pieces to create 30 outfits! Yep, you read correctly!

This means you don't have to drag around a heavy bag or wait for your checked-in luggage. The best bit is my capsule travel wardrobe formula will free up time from working out "what to wear" so you can spend more time holidaying - whether that's shopping or lounging by the pool with a mai-tai in your hand :)

And while the capsule travel wardrobe showcased in this video is for a summer get-away, you can still take the same principles and apply it to your colder escape too.

 

(The capsule wardrobe secrets shared below all come from my new book coming out on 3 January 2017 - The Capsule Wardrobe. Am super-excited!!! Pre-order your copy here!!)

If you live outside Australia, you may be restricted from viewing the video. Don't worry - I've got you! Here is a short summary of how to create your own 9-piece capsule travel wardrobe.

  • Choose a range of tops and bottoms - in this case I've gone with 4 x tops and 3 x bottoms to suit a summer vacation
  • Make sure each top matches each bottom so that they can ALL be mixed-and-matched
  • Look for things like prints so that you have more colours in the print to play with
  • I've then rounded out the wardrobe with a light-weight jacket and a versatile dress
  • Ensure that you can layer the jacket over each outfit to give you an additional look
  • Plus, get creative and layer blouses over your dress for even more options!

 

I hope you enjoy packing light for your next trip, as it is the most liberating feeling knowing when you land, your holiday wardrobe is all sorted! :)
