Call this a guide to squeezing an entire business weeks worth of clothes into a carryon. I’ve flown a lot in my short time on earth and what I’ve discovered is that for some reason I have a very high mistrust for the airline. I fear that my luggage will miss the lay over or that it will be seriously damaged or it will just flat out go missing. So if I travel for less than I two weeks at a time, I always bring a carry on instead of a checked bag.
I have a business trip coming up and here’s how I shoved a week plus worth of clothes into the cutest rolling carryon ever.
Sweater| Jeans | Button Down| Purse |Carry-on| Shoes
I am a button down kind of girl so I snagged enough of them to make it through the week. I’m wearing a plain white one and then packed my three most basic and yet special button downs. Throughout the week, I’ll layer then and mix and match them under the sweaters and the dress in the top left. Each article of clothing is good for any climate and can be mixed and matched for casual and business. Not featured is a standard fair black blazer and my favorite J. Crew lady day coat. When packing for a week, pick the clothing you feel best in. There will never be a day on this trip where I won’t love what I have.
I also threw in clothes for more casual wear like my favorite pair of mom jeans, two tshirts and some work out clothes. I stacked the items up by genre, all the tops together, all the bottoms and the all the casual clothes.
Shoes go in the pouch beneath the logo. In the main case I layered the stacks and tucked the underwear at the bottom of the case.
It takes a bit to smooch them in but it truly is enough clothing for the week.

Victoria,
I’m so in love with this travel look. Totally wish I could steal some stuff from your closet. If you foresee yourself taking more trips in the future, you might want to invest in packing cubes. They’re a great way to stay organised and save space during a long trip.
Best,
