For this trip I realized what a nerd packer I am.  I tried to plan my outfits in advance, which is hard for me to do b/c I usually just put on whatever I feel like for that day.  But I didn't want to pack a bunch of stuff that wouldn't get worn, so I planned as best I could for what we would be doing.  You can't go wrong with bringing your favorite pieces either!  As I was laying out my outfits I thought it would be fun to share some flatlays of them.  I'm not sure how well I will stick to actually pairing these things together on the trip, so well so if this strategy works out or not.  One thing I learned is that I really do love packing!  Its fun!  It's the unpacking that I don't like! 

If you want to know where everything here came from, check out these images on my instagram.  I don't have time to list it all here, sorry. 

Luckily I can report that our car got fixed last night!  We are going to test it over the next few days before we leave to see if we feel safe enough to take it.  And Bella is doing much much better and is liking her new diabetic kitty food!  Not to worry about the babies while we are gone, our friend is staying at our house and will be looking after them!  So things are looking up! 

Most of the blog posts you will see this week are pre-posted, so I won't be able to respond until I return... But it will be super fun to come home to the comments!   

So tell me... are you a compulsive packer or a nerdy planner packer?
