I admit it, I am a serial overpacker. I'm guilty of completely filling our cases every trip, and then cramming more in on top!
At the moment, I'm surrounded by clothes as I prepare for a month away. DD is almost 6. We'll be in America where the climate is similar to here. Over there little girls tend to be far more casual/sporty, but dd is a skirt/dresses kind of girl.
Help me get organised, and think out loud please. How many:
Socks (6 pair?)
Tights (6 pair in various colours)
Vests (also thinking 6)
Knickers (currently have 10 laid out)
Skirts (3 casual, 2 dressy)
Trousers (4 pair)
Jeans (1 pair)
Tops (10)
cardigans (2 dressy, 2 casual)
fleeces (2)
Dressy dresses (2)
Pajamas (4 pair)
shoes (trainers, dressy x2, boots, wellies, casual x3, slippers)
Heavy coats (1 parka, 1 dressier)
Hats (3)
Scarves (3)
Mittens (2)
Don't want to do laundry endlessly, but also don't want to take everything we own, and risk bursting zips on cases.....also need to leave some room for bargain price purchases thanks to the current exchange rates!
Advice from experienced packers who know how to pare down sensibly is greatly appreciated. Sorry to be so helpless/useless....
