Packing 101 | Cold Weather Holidays!



So as some of you may know, we are off to New Zealand in only a matter of days!
Now being the unorganised person I can sometimes (always) be, packing is an event that has yet to occur for moi so I decided to share my best tips for packing for a cold holiday.





Don't over pack
You always want to have room in your luggage in the event you decide to lash out and buy some nice things upon your holiday, or incase you know, your clothes just expand in size and theres no fitting them back in the same suitcase.



Remember you can wash things
Same lines as don't over pack, but you don't need a new outfit for every single day. Sure if you're travelling for 3 days maybe yeah, but for 4 days or more remember you can just wash stuff and like. I don't know... Wear it again?!

Whether you're travelling for 3 weeks or 3 months, you need the same amount of clothes.

Read that. Live that. It's a little something my dad always used to say to me and it's unbelievably true. If you're there for 3 weeks you need the same amount of clothes for 3 months.



Plan out every outfit
I'm one to find myself packing my favourite pieces of clothing, and then in the following hours running back and forth to my suitcase adding "just one more shirt I found that I might wear". No. Plan out each day, what you will wear for the activities you are doing - and STOP THERE!





Plan to fill half your suitcase...
As daunting and impossible as that may sound, it's a good mental goal to have so that your head isn't trying to fill your entire suitcase. It will prevent you from adding in random impulse piece of clothing and help you to only pack what you really need and want to.




See you soon and hope this helps!
