10 items, 15+ outfits

I recently did a back-to-back trip, visiting Savannah for a school-visit for my daughter, and heading straight from there to Singapore for work. I was able to pack for both trips in a backpack style carry-on and had many more outfit options than needed. It definitely helps that there was warm weather in both locations!

Here’s what I packed:

White linen tank
Black silk tank
Black skinnies
Back silk-linen pants
Linen jumpsuit
Black sheath dress
Oatmeal cardigan
Silver Birkenstocks
Black Nisolo loafers
Black pointed black mules

Truth be told, out of the 15+ outfits I could make with these pieces, I really only wore a handful: the black linen jumpsuit was my travel outfit — so comfortable, completely non-binding, looks put together for business class and airport lounges. I actually wore the jumpsuit three days in a row at the beginning of the trip — traveling to Savannah, the school tour, and traveling to Singapore. I varied it by tying the waist at the back for the school tour.

At work in Singapore, I wore the white tank and silk-linen pants twice, the sheath dress twice, and the black tank with black skinnies once. I used the scarf for variety a few days and the cardigan for warmth when needed.

Then I wore the linen jumpsuit for the flight back home.

Everything was so easy to wear together, my bag was nice and light, and I always felt put together and appropriate.

I think I’ve really gotten the hang of this wardrobe thing!

Here are the outfits I wore and quite a few more that I didn’t:
