What does 8 weeks of carry on luggage look like? This! These outfits took me from New York City to the lake side Luzern, Switzerland, to beaches of the Cinque Terre, Italy and home again.
(I didn't take these exact items/brands but very similar)
Tips:
- Find what style suit and stick to it. I know shift dresses suit my shape so I packed a variety of them with a few variations on the style.
- Choose pieces you can dress up or down in fabrics that travel well.
- Don't overpack. Think about the outfits you wear on a daily basis - you have your favourites that are worn over and over and items that are hardly worn and are very event specific. If you're having trouble deciding, try this for a month: Turn your coat hangers to face the same way. Each time you wear an item, hang it back facing the other way. This will create a short list for the items to choose form when you pack to travel.
- Accessorise! Keep the outfits basic and mix it up with small accessories - a scarf, a bold necklace or a bright lip.
Have you travelled carry on only before? What are your top tips?

How you did this is amazing to me! I would struggle big time....
I still havnt figured out what suits me. Maybe the full knee length skirt with tummy tucker and a tight but loose cute top with a round neckline? How did u do that photo? It looks cool. Some realy good tips on here.
Hi Amy! Yes it can be tricky to find a style. I usually look to celebs who have a similar shape/height to me and find one with a style I like best - then look for similar items in a local store or opshop (with a pricepoint that also works for my budget!)
It's also important to keep experimenting with new looks, shapes, colours so we don't get stuck in a style rut.
I find a classic wardrobe is a good start, with some fun, in trend, seasonal pieces that can work around your basic wardrobe as the trends come and go.
(I used Polyvore.com to create the picture. I love that site. So much fun!)
