How to Pack Your Life in One Suitcase

Tomorrow is the day! It's all gone so fast, but soon, I'll be on my way to Spain! It's currently 4°F outside but it feels more like -12. So, I'm pretty overjoyed to be going somewhere where it's currently 46°F!


As promised, I would show you how I managed to pack my life in a suitcase.

I was originally going to roll all of my clothes in outfits and just put them in that way, but thanks to my lovely friend Chrissy's advice, I used a 4-piece compression bag set by American Tourister.

They're really nice for traveling because you don't need to lug a pump around to extract the air! You just fill them and roll them.

I was surprised at how much space it saved! I packed about 8 shirts in this particular bag and as you can see, it really didn't take up too much room.

I also stuffed my suitcase with a couple of dryer sheets. even though most of my clothes are in bags, I still want my suitcase smelling fresh; dryer sheets are a great way to do that!

And now, for the final result:

Voila! My "whole life" in one suticase! :) it contains:

10 tops

6 jeans

3 pairs of shorts

2 leggings

2 dresses

2 workout tops

4 pairs of pajamas

7 panties

4 pairs of socks

5 tanks

6 bras

4 boot socks

1 pair tights

running shoes

converse shoes

boots

flats

flip flops

2 pairs sandals

snow pants 

winter jacket

sweatshirt

swimsuit

gloves 

3 scarves

Not too shabby if I do say so myself! There are also a few miscellaneous items thrown in, like belts and deodorant, but I didn't feel they were worth mentioning. I still have to pack my carry-on, but I'm pretty much done! Yay! Now its off to Spain! I'll let you know when I get there and tell you about the flight experience with LOTS of pictures! :D




Besos!
