Packing 101 | Week Long Work Trip

Well, this mama is on the road again. It has been about 6 weeks since my last work trip and to be honest, I’m itching to travel some place new again. This week I’ll be in Albany, NY and Nashville, TN. I do hate being away from the family, but it is a nice balance for me to be all mommy all the time when I’m home, and independent career girl when I’m not.

So, for a week, what to pack? Well, here is my plan:

Packing List

  • One pair of black fleece leggings – American Apparel
  • One pair of trouser pants – Gap
  • One pair of jeans – J.Jeans
  • Brown boots – ShoeDazzle
  • Leopard Print Ballet Flats – Gap from last season but here are some like them
  • Leopard Print Belt – no idea where this came from
  • Chambray Shirt – Old Navy
  • White Tank – H&M – pretty basic
  • Yellow Cardigan – Forever 21 – Three seasons ago…
  • Gray Dress – Zara – Not online ;(
  • Boyfriend Blazer – Gap
  • Urban Junket t.o.t.e. Convertible Tote – I will go on record saying this is the best bag EVER for travel.  Quote me.
  • And Accessories -Francesca’s

I’m sure I’ll feel guilty and throw in workout clothes and tennis shoes.  Add that to my underthings and pajamas, and I think I have it paired down to a nice little wardrobe that will get me through a week of work, meetings, and a bit of socializing.  Not bad for living out of a suitcase for a week right?

      Thanks! It is much more fun to dress the pretend model then myself some days but it is fun to dream! Thanks for your comment! Happy Monday!

  3. Can you come pack for me next time I go anywhere? I’m the worst packer. I get to places and realize I have stains on shirts, and holes in pants and i never try anything on before I pack, so what looks good in my head ends up looking like doo doo. I love my boyfriend blazer. Thanks for reminding me I have that. ;)

      For sure! I hate packing but I love packing. Since I started planning it out like this, it has been so much easier to pack. Anytime you want help, let me know!

    I am impressed!!! I need to learn to pack like that! Want to pack me for Utah at the end of the month? Between the ski clothes, the skis, the boots and the dog…the less I can pack the better!

  5. Going out of town for business at the end of the month and going to use this post as a packing guide! Thanks!

      Oh, that 30 for 30 is really fun! I’ll have to like into that a bit more. I’m so bored with my clothes but don’t want to buy more..or should I say shouldn’t buy more. ;)
