How to pack for a spring weekend getaway

Are you planning a weekend getaway? After months of having a huge chunk of Australia and New Zealand in lockdown, I can feel everyone's excitement at being able to plan holidays and mini breaks. After not travelling regularly, it can be a little "interesting" to start the packing process. You might want to have ALL THE OPTIONS. I get that. I do.

But what if you want to pack lightly - or travel without lugging half your wardrobe with you? I have some tried and true tips that I share in my how to pack e-book (it's not been updated for the past two years to accommodate the pandemic but I'll be doing that soon - for now it's free). The packing tips remain the same and they're ones that I implement even if going on an overnight trip.

With summer weekend getaways on our mind, I've put together an 8-piece travel capsule wardrobe for you. Whenever I create these capsules, the aim is to provide you with the initial inspiration to build your own. Sub in pieces to suit but make them work back with others for a multitude of combinations.

What I love about travelling with Styling You The Label's easy-care pieces is that they take up next to no room in your suitcase, are wrinkle-resistant, feel comfortable and can be dressed up or down with a change of footwear and accessories.
