How to Pack for Key West in a Carry-On

Weekender: c/o Carolina Dandy

Confession: I am a chronic over-packer. Going on a trip for 3 days? Pack 15 outfits. (A girl needs options!) I always have way too many pairs of shoes, and a whole lot of clothing that doesn't see the light of day! So, for my trip to Key West I decided that it was time to change my ways and pack for the trip in just a carry-on. Considering we will be in bathing suits, sundresses, and sandals the whole time, it didn't seem necessary to pack all that other "stuff" that often finds its way into my luggage. So, with my goal in mind I came up with the following five tips to help streamline my packing!

Wheels Up!

I'm so excited today to head off to Asheville, NC for my annual girl's trip with my college best friends! We have such a fun itinerary planned and I can't wait to squeeze all my love bugs! Excitingly, today I'm chatting all about the trip with my girl Julie Leah in her "Let's Go There!" series; so, if you want the scoop on everything I packed and what we're doing, then check it out here!

Dreaming of Charleston...

I am so stinkin' excited y'all because this week me and my bestie Asha are headed to Charleston for a girls weekend full of southern charm!! We've both only been once before and LOVED it, so we are jumping for joy that we get to spend 4 days soaking in all the city's goodness! I'm working on my packing list, so I thought I would give you a sneak peek of a few ideas I have rolling around of how I'm going to style myself on the trip :)

For the Road Trip
I am all about comfort when I am driving 5 hours in the car- ain't nobody got time to be dolled up when your sitting in one seat! But since inevitably you will be stopping along the way it's best you don't scare people off (ha!) so I turn to cute activewear to see me through the trip! You also can't forget your trusty tumbler (I drink lots of H2O everyday) & sunglass straps (so you don't have to fumble to find your sunglasses). I also love an oversize tote to keep all my essentials in - I make sure my phone charger, cell phone, snacks, and a book are always close by!
