Rule #1 When Traveling: Pack Less

Pack less then you think! 

I keep thinking I'm getting better at packing. Nope,  I'm still bring too much.  Does anyone have any suggestions how to get past the "what if" question?

For example, I brought a dress (a black wrap dress) on a work trip because I thought I needed one and it would have worked for day or night.  But in the end I didn't need it.  I never wore my high heels either but I'm less upset about that choice. I could have worn the high heels but chose not too. My other piece of advice is that you only bring one pair of dark jeans.

The good news: there is always another trip right around the corner to try again!  Next month, I'm going to the beach for a long weekend :)
