Carry-on Travel Wardrobe for France

all packed for France!

Here’s my Wild Card item. It’s the Mandy top from Covered Perfectly in the olive snake print, one of their new prints for Spring. It coordinates beautifully with all of the jackets I’m bringing and looks smashing with the jeans. (If reptile print isn’t your thing, she has several other new prints available.) Don’t forget to use code UF20 for 20% off.

Some of you were asking about the packing cubes; there are several options available and this one happens to be from ebags. I’ve included my hand for size reference. In this cube are all 5 sweaters/tops and one of the scarves, so you can see how much compression they provide to save packing space.

And here’s how everything looks packed into the Lipault 22″ bag. I could easily have fit a few more pieces but am avoiding that temptation to keep weight down.

And finally, here are both bags packed up and ready to go. It’s a more stable arrangement than it looks. 😉

Next post will be from the other side of the pond. In the meantime I’ll try to post a few updates on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Stay in touch.

    Those packing cubes look useful. I am looking forward to hearing about the Loire Valley. I haven’t been there for a few years.

    Your suitcase packing is pretty impressive. Have a safe flight & a fantastic time! Will you be in London again?

      TNMA, sadly only a layover at Heathrow. We definitely need to do another London trip!

        I find it hard to do London and Paris in a single trip, as they are such huge, high-energy cities. Closer to you, it would be like someone travelling (only) to LA and Mexico City.

    Susan I hope you have a wonderful trip! I’m enjoying this one peeking over your shoulder, I’ve read the others in the archives but with this one I’m doing it “with” you.

    Impressive packing!! One question: where did you pack your shoes? I did not see them in the 22″ case. Shoes always take up so much space! Other bag?

  21. April 23, 2014 / 11:51 am

    Have a great trip, Sue! You’ll definitely be looking good. . . Can’t wait to see the Loire Valley through your eyes. It’s been decades since I was there.
