I'm packing to go away and seem to have more shoes in my suitcase than anything else.

What do pack far too much of?

Tops. I'm clumsy and end up wearing my dinner most meals so take way too many as I think I'll have to change them at least 3 times a day but never do.

I am the most I effective packer ever. If Pink was here she would tell you ... she’s seen evidence and witnessed the drama. I just throw mountains of things in and hope something is right when I get there

No help I know!

I pack too much of everything. If I ever had to go away with just hand luggage I don't know what I'd do

This is me, too.

These days, I try to stick to a 'capsule' concept..similar/ complementing colour scheme, so that each item goes with at least 3 others. Accessories to dress up or down an outfit. Layers. Avoid colours which are difficult to mix with others, such as teal.

Shoes..2 prs for general (including what you travel in), 2 prs for beach, 2 prs for the evening. Nothing too chunky (saves space) or too blingy (might be tricky to match with clothes).

Hope this helps. Unless you are trecking in a jungle for a month...

Mainly ‘cold weather’ clothing like fleeces or hoodies in case it chills off, which invariably stay in the case the whole holiday.

These days I mainly do self catering so tend to take just a few items and wash them during the break for re-use!

Polo shirts and trainers, always take at least 2 polo shirts per day and coordinating trainers to go with them

Tshirts or clothes that are to thick. I always take enough boxers and socks for 3 days extra.

Reason being that often I end up with tummy trouble when traveling.

Having backpacked my way around a few places I learnt that if you can't carry it on your back for a few hours then you've packed too much.

If I'm guilty of overpacking anything it is books. Proper paper books. I know there are kindles and things and I could carry a majillion books for the weight of a pair of socks but I don't care.

No, but I do think that more shops should sell reversable dresses/ skirts etc..

Do a count before going of, then number of days plus one extra shirt, socks and pants.

Shoes, wear one pair and carry a spare.

Someone sent me a video of how to use a large scarf in loads of different ways. If I could work out how to do some of them that might be a solution

Knowing my luck I'd be strolling down the street and my carefully constructed scarf outfit would unravel

I am an expert packer. Once did 6 months round the worl out of a 35l backpack. Cabin luggage only and hsd everything I needd for a beach in Thailand and a himalayan trek. Never pack too much. Managed with 3 pairs of socks, 3 paors of boxers, 2 pairs of shoes. Easy.

I tend to pack too many bras and not enough knickers. And too much first aid stuff, but if you need flaps of skin pinning together or a splinter out of your eye, I’m your woman.
