instant travel…

March 30, 2011|Elena Daciuk

your suitcase is your closet when you travel…and at times…i must admit…i have packed like i truly did bring my whole closet…only to bring it all back home unworn…add to that an achy back…when i started traveling for business in my corporate america days…i literally was on the road three weeks out of the month…and being that i had my suitcase to contend with…and all my “work” stuff…ie: laptop, brochures etc…i learned to be creative with my packing…

so here are a few things to think about when choosing clothes to pack…
– how much room does it take up?

– does it match with other pieces you’re bringing?

– will it go day and evening?

– can you wear it more than once?

– does it wrinkle easily?

for example…my corporate america days…i pretty much lived in suits…i usually looked for suit fabric that was seasonless…like a lightweight wool…that made it possible for the suit to work both warm and cool climates…a dark suit with matching pants and skirt could be deconstructed to create a variety of looks with few accessories…i would pack a top that could stand on its own without the suit jacket…i would also pack a dressier pant and fun chic shoes to pair with my suit jacket out for a ~~nite on the town…~~ business dinner with clients…

all in all this works with casual wear as well…pair a few tops with that flouncy skirt…etc…

ideal travel fabrics bounce back after being crushed…who wants to spend time ironing clothes when you get to your destination? or worse yet…looking like a crumpled mess…if you so choose not to iron =)

do you have some great travel tips to share? please do…

i used to pack my clothes into tiny little squares, or roll them up to avoid creases. i could squeeze so much into a suitcase and i was surprised how little things would wrinkle.

If truth be told – I was a little afraid of having Elena come into my home. At the strong urging of my wife – I finally agreed. Thank God! While I tend to be very conservative – I was skeptical as to what she could do for me. She respected my stand while still allowing me to see (through baby steps) that even conservative needed an update. While I still dress conservative – I do now have a few “out of the box” items (at least for me) that I am quite happy with. I’m also receiving many compliments – something that never happened before.
