Packing Strategies IV: Per Activity

I'm about to wrap up this week series with the last -and my personal favorite- packing strategy. I called it 'per activity.' Before a trip, I try to break down the different things I'll be doing, and then, plan accordingly. Let's just say, we'll be having some vacay in a sunny place, where we can go to the beach, going out at night for dinner and drinks, and also, doing some day trips to local attractions. This is what my wardrobe selection would look like: 


Packing Strategy: Per Activity/ Beach Time




1. Hat                                                  5. Hot bikini 
2. Versatile dress                                  6. Classy tote
3. Fun t-shirt                                      7. Havaianas
4. Colorful shorts                               8. Shades

  1. Love these outfit ideas! I like packing pieces that are versatile -- can be worn together, layered, have different uses (ie a maxi dress can work for day, night, beach coverup). Items that aren't bulky, fit into a neutral color palette and that, when possible, don't wrinkle easily.

  5. I like picking pieces that layer really well and are mostly wrinkle free - black v-necks and white t-shirts are almost always a must!

  9. You are so much more organized than I am! I usually say ok, 5 days? That means 10 shirts, 5 pairs of shoes, etc. etc. And then I just throw it all in a bag. It's pretty bad!
