Packing for a weekend trip is already stressful because you know you don’t need a lot & you have to plan each outfit carefully, but now add into the mix trying to fit everything into a tote size bag like THIS one from Madewell that I used.
This past weekend my goal was to fit everything into that bag because traveling on a last minute trip to see my boyfriend is already expensive enough…no need to pay for bags! Long distance is definitely hard, but it helps when it is only a short plane ride away.
Here are a few bags that would work too:
What’s in my bag:
(hint: click on any hyperlinked words in pink)
- Crop/Flare jeans loving these ones because they can be worn with dresses up withย booties or casually with sneakers
- Joggers — I wore these all weekend!
- Sneakers –these ones are my go to
- Comfy sweatshirtย loving this wildfox one
- Ruffle Top ย or striped tee –wear it with jeans or leggings!
- White teeย – this can go with joggers or jeans!
- Leggings…obvi
- Condensed makeup bag like THIS one, I take only the necessary everydayย products
What I wore: the heavy items, jeans, booties, flannel, zip-up sweatshirt, long coat, Louis Vuitton neverfullย
I tried to find versatile pieces like these JEANS or this TOP to bring because they can either be dressed up or down with a pair of sneakers

hat – sweatshirt – jeansย 
teeย (sale alert!) – jeans – booties
joggers – flannel – coatย (similar)
At the end of my trip, I realizedย it was SO much easier to travel with my small bags. I got to place both of my carry-ons under my seat so they were with me the whole time, I saved $$ &ย had just enough clothes… also a great excuse to go shopping ๐
XO thanks for stopping by & good luck with your future weekend travels
