How to pack a weekend away bag

Today’s post is about packing a weekend away bag. The weekend that I packed for this trip was for Charlotte. I was going to visit family and go wedding dress shopping. The good news is I found my dress!

– Determine the size of the bag and what you need to bring

The first thing for packing a bag, you need to determine what your agenda is. For my trip, I was only gone from Friday to Sunday.  I was going wedding dress shopping so I packed a maxi dress for the dress trial process.  I brought jeans for all the others days because I was going to go to church on Sunday. As well as going out to eat.

– Roll your clothes

Rolling your clothes creates maximum space in your suitcase, duffle bag or carry on style bag. It sometimes prevents wrinkles and keeps clothes looking fresh. I roll my clothes for every trip I take.

– Cover your shoes

When I say cover your shoes, I mean like put them in a plastic grocery bag or something of the like. For this particular trip, I only packed two pairs of shoes. I was only gone from Friday to Sunday.

– Use bags to store stuff

When I travel, I use pouches and smaller bags to store stuff. I use small pouches for rings, bracelets, and earrings. I use smaller bags for my makeup and hair products.

– Pack your socks inside of shoes or bras

When I pack to maximize storage, I store socks in shoes or bras. If I bring a hat I’ll pack socks and underwear in the hat and pack around it so that it maintains its shape.
