Woes of an International Fashionista

I can't stop talking about it, but this trip to see Trip (te he... that never gets old!) has got me completely wired and is literally the only thing getting me through these last few days of school and crazy nights of working retail pre-holiday.  I got home from work early tonight and was able to spend some time packing, and let me tell you: I am IMPRESSED with my ability to cram two weeks worth of clothes into half a suitcase.  You see, the other half of my suitcase is filled with Trip's Christmas and Birthday gifts.

I suppose in the grand scheme of things, this really isn't so bad because unless he bought me half a suitcase worth of presents, it means that I've got a ton of room to fill with souvenirs while I'm gone!  

Now, I tend to travel pretty frequently and consider myself to be a pretty good packer, but I really outdid myself for this trip.  I had a day off a few weeks ago and my mommy had just gotten me an iPad for my Birthday/graduation/Christmas and I was just messing around with it and decided to lay out outfits, photograph them, and then mix and match as needed.  In the couple of free hours I had tonight, it was lovely to just glance at the photo, grab stuff from the closet, and roll it up in my suitcase.  

I ended up with: 

4 pairs of pants

1 pair of leggings

3 dresses

1 skirt

7 tops

6 coverups

3 pairs of boots

... and I have figured out how to mix and match them so that I wear a different-looking outfit every single day for 2 whole weeks!  We'll see how it goes! 

I have no clue how I got ALL of that into half of a suitcase, but hey... I was praying for a small miracle.  Looks like I got it!
