So, my anniversary is coming up next week and my honey has planned a surprise trip. I have no idea where I'm going, the only hint I was given was the weather. She said it would be between 75-80ﾟweather. In my mind I'm like OK whatever. 🙄

As if packing is not hard enough now I have to pack for an experience/environment/activities I have no clue about . So yeah that's my life right now. 😒

Also, I started packing last week. Yaaay! Go me! I didn't use to be this organized but as my packing preferences got more detailed… and by detailed I mean I started packing a lot more stuff, over packing if you must. So, I had to evolve with it or go stir crazy and that’s how the system was created… and yes, it’s literally called “The System” my daughter and friends do not ask me if I’ve packed for my trip, they ask if I’ve started the system. 😄

A week before a trip I write out all my outfits. Either I send a text to myself or I write them out on my note pad. The list increases as I mentally put items together.

A week before that I visualize all the outfits I'm considering and match them up with the events planned for said trip.

Next I lay every outfit out and pair them with shoes and accessories.

Finally, I load them into the suitcase placing my shoes at the bottom of my suitcase and layering the outfit for said shoes directly on top or in its proximity... that way I never have to rummage through my suitcase looking for items. Trust me this system has helped me stay sane. How many times have you gone on a trip and forgot something? Me?…0, since I’ve enacted “The System” ☺

Do you have a packing system? Do share!

Until next time. Later readers. 😊
