Hey Beauties, I’m preparing to leave town to spend some time with my family.  My grandmother is turning 100 years old, and we’re having a big party for her!  Luckily I was able to get straight through flights, and I’m traveling extremely light which I love to do.

I packed everything in one large black shoulder bag (in the picture)!

Instead of having a second purse, I packed a black clutch that fits inside my “travel” bag.  If I would like a larger purse as a day bag, I can empty the contents of my “travel” bag into a reusable shopping bag, and use my shoulder bag instead.  This will be the lightest I’ve ever traveled!  I always wear the bulkier items that are in my packing list so that the contents in my bag are more compact.  I always love the freedom of not lugging around suitcases at the airport.

My Packing List

1 Dress

1 Blazer

4 Tops

3 Bottoms

2 Shoes

1 Clutch

Because I’ll be away for a little over a week, I decided to take a break from blogging.  I hope that you are all enjoying your summer, and I will definitely share more details of my one bag travel upon my return.  If you’re curious, my bag is 15″ W x 13.5″ H.  It is definitely possible to travel extremely light even for us curly girls!

I’ll be back on Minimalist Beauty August 20th.

Peace and Sunshine,

Dawn Michelle

Have you ever traveled with only one bag?
