I'm definitely a light packer when it comes to weekend trips, etc. - my secret is down to bringing clothes that are versatile enough to be worn twice or more matched with different things so that it always looks like a new outfit. I also bring smaller versions of my usual makeup, body/face care routine. My philosophy is that I'd rather wear the same shirt twice than look like an idiot rolling into town with wayy too many bags and suitcases. So I can basically stuff everything I need for a long weekend into my two small and medium sized Longchamp le Pliage foldable bags.

No not at all, I try but it doesn't really work. I always think 'but what if (this) happens..' and end up with a load of stuff I'll never need.

i always pack just the essentials and pick up fun things at my destination. lots of carves and local jewelry!

i try but i always end up packing more because i always think, "what if i need it?"

I'm reasonable.
