I can't stress enough how important it is to pack your suitcase before the night before or the day of your trip. I can almost guarantee that you will forget something. I usually try to make a list and pack beforehand, but there are some things (like deodorant and mascara) that you can't throw in your suitcase until the last minute. On our last trip, I was really proud of myself for not forgetting anything, but there were several items that I could have left behind. Two summers ago, when we spent a lot of time in Wyoming, it got very cold at night and jeans and heavy sweaters were absolutely necessary. So, this summer, thinking that I knew everything about the climate in the Midwestern U.S., I packed too many heavy sweaters and jeans.
Above:
1. A scarf is a great accessory that can be a more casual substitute for a necklace. 2. Airy, neutral color shirts are perfect for summer vacations and go with everything. 3. Bring an empty water bottle with you through security to stay hydrated on the flight. 4. I love these pants because they are formal enough for a nice dinner and casual enough for the rodeo. 5. Sandals are an absolute must-have! These were fantastic on my last vacation--I was able to wear them out to dinner and while climbing rocks. 6. Always keep eyeliner or mascara with you for a quick touch up. 7. This small backpack is the perfect size to hold daily essentials and is still stylish. 8. Moisturizer is the best way to keep your skin healthy while on vacation. 9. Matching luggage makes you look more put together, and is easy to spot at the baggage claim. 10. I almost always bring my own shampoo with me when travelling. 11. Bring a small bottle of nail polish with you to maintain your manicure. 12. Finally, a camera is absolutely necessary for every trip! Invest in a great digital or film camera to capture all of your favorite moments.
