A Tip for Packing

This past weekend Ryan & I made the trek down to So-Cal to:

+attend the USC v. UCLA football game cause I bought Ryan tickets to the game for his birthday 

{best wife award anyone?}

+be there for my brother's mission call

+hang with family

+and enjoy the amazing weather

Well, our trip didn't go as smoothly as hoped, but I'll save that long ace story for tomorrow.

I just wanted to pass along a good piece of advice I've heard in regards to packing.

Keep everything in the same color scheme.

The first time I heard it I was bummed I didn't think of that earlier.

It makes so much dang sense!!!

So this weekend I packed up my:

+2 sweaters, orange and cream Loft cardigans

+1 pair of Seven jeans

+2 pairs of shoes, cognac steve madden sandals & cognac boots

+2 dresses with orange, cream, and gray patterns

+2 tops, one navy and the other orange

+2 belts, gold glitter and brown leather

+1 chunky necklace & 1 pair of gold flower studs

{navy top, jeans, sandals, chunky necklace combo}

Obviously this tip doesn't help me from overpacking, but it helps in creating better outfits!

I'll post the next outfit from the trip soon!
