I Love (with a capital L) to travel. Packing, on the other hand, not so much. I always go into each packing session the same—trying to pre-plan and prepare my outfits based on my itinerary. However, I always end up “planning” to have six different outfit changes in the course of 24-hours and “preparing” for literally every single weather/emergency/photo-opp contingency possible. To say I am a notorious overpacker is an understatement.
But I am not giving up my hope of becoming the minimalist traveler, who seems to achieve the balance of function and fashion all in the size of a carry-on suitcase.
To help take the weight (both metaphorically and literally) out of packing for spring break, here is the perfect travel look broken down to the essentials to ensure your day is both fashionable and fun!
The Perfect Look Broken Down
No matter if you are spending the day in the museum, learning the subway system, eating your way through a city or simply wandering around, this look is simple and ready for all the planned and unplanned adventure ahead.

The Perfect Bag Unpacked
Finish off your look with a carryall that can literally carry all your travel essentials. Stylishly stow the must-haves along with your map, guides and all the souvenirs you pick up along the way.
