Don’t overpack. My most popular packing list makes it possible to pack everything you need for your next trip in under half an hour. It doesn’t matter if you need a packing list for Disneyland or a packing list for International Travel, my versatile 6 pieces packing list will help you never overpack again. The biggest mistake I see women make when they pack is packing for each day or by the events they have planned. Packing a capsule wardrobe of versatile mix-and-match pieces gives you more outfits than you’ll need, even if your itinerary or the weather change.
VERSATILE 6-PIECE PACKING LIST
- Cardigan
- Tank

1 | Cardigan
I consider a cardigan a cool classic wardrobe essential. I dedicated THIS BLOG POST to some of my favorite styles here and include one in almost every capsule wardrobe I make.
2 | Tank
Wear one solo when it’s warm or layer one under when it’s not.
3 | Straight Leg Jeans
Straight-leg jeans are the most versatile jean style and one of 6 styles you’ll find in every stylist’s closet. To find the pair that looks best on your body visit my Jean Shop and take my free fit quiz.
4 | Hat
Pack a hat because the most unpredictable factor is always your hair.
5 | Neutral Print Piece
What’s a neutral print? How to mix prints.
6 | Medium Weight Layer
This is any piece you can layer over your other pieces and under a warm coat when it’s cold.
PACKING LIST FOR DISNEYLAND
I practice what I preach. Watch Coffee in my Closet recorded live on Instagram the day before we left for Disneyland and see how I was able to pack in 10 minutes. We went when the weather was very unpredictable, but I had all the right layers and comfortable shoes.
