Traveling Extremely Light

Right now 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’d 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’m taking a break from blogging.  I hope that you are all enjoying your summer, and I’ll 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!

Have you ever traveled with only one bag?
