I am horrible at packing–I always over pack, over think, pack for the “what-ifs”, and seem to only feel comfortable if I leave the house with a minimum of five pairs of shoes. This complicates my life simply because I have two bases–which means I travel. And have a tendency to shop wherever I am. I have a quick week trip for a week, and have committed to myself that I wouldn’t fall into this pattern again. So I’ve culled together a “capsule wardrobe” for myself. About 10 pieces that can be mixed and matched. (this doesn’t count my workout clothes). My goal is to be able to have options that are chic, leave room for new treasures, but not have to be lugging over full bags! You can keep up with my daily outfits on Instagram (@racheladelicia) and I will post a wrap up when I return!
Here’s what’s in my bag:
A great vintage Gucci tunic from RecessLA and an elevated tank
Basic grey sweater from Gap, a white tank from Garment Modern, and a black Rachel Pally slit t-shirt (old)
MOTHER Insider Crop
My beloved Anna Quan shirt
This Reformation Jumpsuit
This Mara Hoffman Sweater
This Milly dress
Madewell Sandals, Stuart Weitzman Wedges, New Balance Sneakers, and Dr Scholl’s Slides
Wish me luck! Happy Wednesday! XO RA
