Every single time I travel I pack like I’m about to star in a Pinterest board. Dresses, cute tops, extra shoes. Options.
And then I rotate the same formula the entire trip:
One comfy bottom
One breathable top
One reliable layer
That’s it.
The “nice” stuff just sits there taking up space. And the funny thing is I don’t even miss it. When I’m actually out exploring, I just want to be comfortable and not thinking about my outfit.
I always tell myself maybe there’ll be a fancy dinner, maybe I’ll want choices. But in reality? Comfort wins every time.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who packs aspirationally and lives practically.
