Packing 101: Whit’s Weekend in Washington DC

Packing 101: Whit’s Weekend in Washington DC

I went to DC for Easter Weekend, I brought my light Burberry Trenchcoat as it was suppose to rain Friday but be sunny the rest of the weekend. I will admit-I brought 6 different pairs of shoes as I needed both comfortabilty for walking and hot heels for the fun nightlight and birthday celebration. I was able to pack them all into my carry-on (Yes, I did wear them all). I am not going to pay  to check my luggage (which is an absurd statement in itself-but will ignore for now)
Packing for a trip can be stressful and frustrating when you do not have the entire selection of your wardrobe available and I really hate to re-wear items. I grew up traveling around the world so I have packing down to science. I pretty much refuse to check my bag-even on international flights. So when you pack always remember:
Key Packing Strategies:
1. Check the weather report and plan your outfits before
2. Wear your heaviest/bulkiest clothes (coats, boots, sweaters, etc) on the plane
3. Always leave a bit of room in case of Shopping!
4. Rolling your clothes when packing-gives you more room and less wrinkles
5. Pack versatility options that change up your outfit but do not take up alot of space (clutches, jewelry, scarfs, shoes)
Now on to my Washington DC Weekend!

My weekend in DC was so much fun! I got to spend it with my boyfriend and catching up with my East Coast lovelies that I do not get to see that often. We hit up as many sites and museums as we could-my feet were killing me at the end of each day. We ate at quite a few of the amazing restaurants DC has and went out to enjoy the night life in Georgetown .

Definitely a Successful Trip!
