The last thing you want to happen when you're traveling home for the holidays is for your luggage to end up in Houston when you're going to Seattle. When I pack, I only take what I can fit in a carry on. You can do it too, I promise! Just take pieces that are versatile (and use your sister-in -law's washing machine!)
If you don't think its possible, look and learn:
Holiday Dinner with the family: black skirt, white top, red cardigan with black belt, green cocktail ring and booties.
Casual Shopping trip with mom: Jeans, grey sweater (alone or with white top) cool necklace, booties
Drinks with old friends: sequin cami (with or without blazer) black pants, booties
Ice skating with nieces: Layer on the white top, grey sweater or red sweater, black blazer, pair with jeans.
Casual movie night with the family: White top, and jeans, no shoes in the house!
The combining the pieces in different ways should keep you looking stylish without a giant pile of clothes to carry. Oh, and bring neutral underwear and convertible in thin barely there colors. You don't want to be stuck with neon orange briefs sticking out of the top of your jeans or you decide to wear your cami and realize you left behind your strapless bra.
And of course, if your'e like me, you will spend most of the time in your pajamas, relaxing, so don't bring those sexy shirt dress ones your boyfriend likes. The Vera Wang pieces above double as both pajamas and family friendly lounge wear! Last, when you're deciding what to wear on the plane, pick casual and comfortable clothing maybe some sneakers or weather appropriate boots. This way, if your kid cousin drags you out for a snowball fight, you can wear something that you dont really care too much about and have a good time!
