... and three pairs of shoes, three jackets, three dresses and many more items of clothing. I am probably the worst packer of all times, not only do I over pack but I have this incredible gift of being able to pack outfits that each need (in my personal view) a different pair of shoes. One would have thought that over the years, and after the many miles travelled I would have become better at packing, but so wrong. The older I get the less straight forward my outfits become, and of course first they was the jewelry, then came the bags (each outfit needs it bag), and now my shoe collection. Basically packing has become a nightmare, THE nightmare.
So here goes, as I am due to be leaving for Brussels soon, I thought I would set myself a challenge; packing one 'relatively' small bag for 14 days. Firstly, I am only allowed one hand luggage. Secondly, I can take with me only three (maybe four if I am good) pairs of shoes. Thirdly, I must only bring with me items that can each be worn in three different ways (my new 3x3 rule).
And, this ladies is what I ended up with. On a side note, this is what happens to me when I am left in my own care (yes the boyfriend is still away) and I have to fend for myself. But I have to say, after battling for what seemed like an eternity with the tripod and the remote, I had quite a fun time. What do you think? did I make a fool out of myself or not just yet?
