Here we have it, my first Dressed Down Guide! They always say write what you know, and here is what I know: I LOVE packing. Call me crazy, but I’ve loved it forever. I was that kid that packed my bag for school camp weeks before we were due to board the bus.

Here is a complete guide to everything I packed, wore and purchased before heading on a three week trip to the States. Granted, this was not a high fashion holiday. We did a lot of park time, walks, coffee shops… but if you’re looking for a simple, accessible, and minimalist guide then this is it. I packed all my clothing in a carry on bag, this bag specifically, which I’ve always done. Although, full disclosure since having a kid: they need a lot of stuff! Her bag turned out to be twice the size of mine.

I did a Q&A call out on Instagram too, so I’ve also answered all your burning questions below about… the art of packing!
