What I Packed… Carry-On Only Clothing Packing Tips Post!


Good evening!!!! I mean morning… this post is going up at 6am but right now it is Wednesday at 10pm and I am finishing up my last few blog and work things before we head out tomorrow for our big Summer adventure! I cannot believe so many things… that I started this whole crazy Summer thing seven years ago already, that we are already halfway through 2023, and that the school year is over! Does it not seem like yesterday that we all felt like 2020 would never be over and now we are halfway to 2024! Truly unbelievable!

Today I won’t chat near as much as my last packing post but I’ll try to explain my light packing ways as it pertains to clothing as best as possible. My last packing post was much more thorough so if you are interested in tips on everything from how I pack so light, why I pack so light, what I do with all of my toiletries and everything in between… READ THIS POST!

On that post, I said I was going to do an entirely separate post about clothing, so this is it. I honestly don’t have too much to say or share, but I will give you a few pointers on how to pack light when it comes to clothing. As I chatted about on that post, I reserve pretty much my entire carry-on for all clothing since my underseater fits everything else. That really does free up a good bit of space for clothing! This time around, I was able to fit six dresses, two long skirts, two pairs of jeans, five pairs of pants, two pairs of leggings, and twelve tops. Plus, eight pairs of panties, eight thongs, and one bra! And… I will be wearing a dress with two cardigans around my waist to the airport and of course wearing a bra, so that is extra things for my trip as well that don’t have to fit in my carry on.

One thing I will say again that I did mention on my last post is that we absolutely do laundry while we are gone! John and I will be gone for 42 days so there’s literally no way to pack enough and not have to wash some things. Between Airbnb‘s and even possibly a stop at a laundromat, we will definitely be re-wearing quite a bit. And I know stopping at a laundromat might not sound dreamy for a vacation but it’s really not that bad at all. We’ve done it before and we just grab lunch at a close by spot, and it goes by super quickly!

When it comes to packing light, you kind of just have to have a different mindset about it all. For me, the trip is more about relaxing, adventuring, and being away from… so many things. For that reason, I really do love just having a small light suitcase, where I can easily zip from place to place. Since we are washing and re-wearing, it’s not necessary to bring multiples of the same item. That’s why I only packed two pairs of jeans for the entire time, two pairs of leggings and things like that.

My biggest tip overall for making clothing go further is to pack lots of fun bottoms, whether it be flowy pants, skirts, jeans or leggings and then lots of basic tops. Or, if you’re going to much warmer weather… skirts, shorts, and such! The fun bottoms and basic top method leads to so much good, mixing and matching!

Here’s a peek at most everything I packed with the exception of a few pairs of shoes I won’t be bringing as well as the jean jacket pictured below. As you can see here, so much of this can be mixed and matched. I brought a few extra tops that are not pictured here, but this is almost everything!

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!
