Hi I’m Annie.
I travel a lot for work and I’m a carry-on girl.
So today I’m going to show you
how to max out your carry-on bag.
My next trip is a work trip where
I’m going to be shooting a video, a wedding,
and a vacation all in one.
And I’m only bringing one bag.
Here’s what’s in it.
Let’s open her up.
Ah!
Oop!
Instead of doing it hotdog style,
we layer pants vertically and compartmentalize the
compartment into three sections.
Shirts go directly on top of shoes.
Pants, shorts, and skirts,
which are on top of shoes.
Then more shirts.
I keep my belts on them
so that I never forget my belt because I wear this belt
with all of my bottoms.
Another pair of shorts!
This is what your momma would call a pair of slacks.
A solid black tshirt.
You might say, “Annie, that’s a snooze fest.”
And I would say, “You’re wrong.”
This bodysuit, it’s like underwear and
a bra in one but then also you can also wear
it as a shirt.
Bingo!
Sneakers.
Duh!
This is the dressier half of my suitcase.
Slinky little dress, slinky little dress,
slinky black mini dress.
Honestly, this never ever, ever, ever wrinkles.
A bag turducken!
I carry a tote bag in my bag.
Then inside that bag, I have another bag!
I like a bag to travel with that has a zip on top
because then you don’t have to worry
about pickpocketers.
And then inside that bag,
you guys, I have another bag!
It’s useful for travel as a jewelry case!
This is my favorite case.
It works for makeup.
Sunglasses.
A brush.
And my toiletries.
And my Kindle.
This is an outfit I wear out to dinner on vacation.
I love how fun this top is.
It’s feels dressed up but it’s still light
enough that if I’m going somewhere hot,
I’ll be cool at night.
So just by switching up my bottoms,
I’ve given this top a much more nautical vibe.
The top is by Alice & Olivia.
I love it.
It’s lightweight.
Polka dots.
The jeans are Citizen of Humanity.
And the slides are Dior.
So this is the ultimate tourist outfit.
I love a wrap dress because
it’s breezy and easy, but definitely as sophisticated.
And I finished off the look with my crossbody bag
and kind of this nice clashing print.
And of course, my Vans sneakers.
So now we’re going to talk about the power
of the two-piece set.
The check and the two-piece have a fun impactful look.
This set is from Reformation.
Remember this skirt and these shoes?
Well now their body with
my favorite Harley Davidson tshirt.
This is a wear all day outfit that’s super comfortable.
And I reworked in some pieces I could wear
in so many different ways.
So this is one of my more sophisticated looks
because I’m wearing my slacks.
But I’m still wearing a super fun summer top.
And I’m wearing one of my favorite pairs
of transitional day to night shoes.
They’re Imagine by Vince Camuto.
And they’re shiny!
So this is an outfit I wear out at night.
With this corset top, which is otherwise kind
of ‘90s and throwback and casual,
it’s from ASOS.
And again, my slacks!
They’re Tom Ford by the way.
And my shoes are Zara.
This is a travel look plus.
I would wear this corset top during
the day with these jean shorts especially if it’s
super hot out.
I would have this button-down shirt tied around
my waist during the day.
Then at night, I put the button-down underneath,
the corset over top, and whabam!
This dress is a slip that covers my knees
and it does not wrinkle.
And if you’re running around during the day and
it’s really hot out, you can show your shoulders.
You can wear this dress at night.
And then if you have to go into a temple or a church,
or if it just gets chilly, you could put on this silk jacket.
This is my wedding look.
I have a wedding in Italy and I want to dress up.
But I don’t want to bring something over the top.
It’s so lightweight, can roll up, pack so easily.
I’ve dressed it up for the occasion
with these red Tabitha Simmons heels.
Earrings and accessories are a really fun way
to dress up an outfit without adding bulk
to your carry-on.
And last but not least,
this is my actual plane outfit.
A tank top knotted up for ventilation.
Yet, a neck scarf just because it gets chilly
on planes and you can use it as an eyemask.
A button-down, which I never leave home without.
This one’s from the men’s section at Topshop.
I threw on a leather jacket for extra warmth.
Baggy, comfy, remixed Jordache Jeans.
And my bonus shoes.
These are Marni.
I love them because they’re super comfortable.
And they’re chunky so that’s why I wear
them on the plane to give me extra room in
my suitcase.
I have 16 tops, 5 dresses, 7 bottoms,
5 pairs of shoes, and one silky robey coat.
Plus everything I have on.
Which means: if I have done my math correctly,
with all those endless combinations,
I have over 150 outfits in this suitcase alone.
Maybe I’ll stay for longer.
See ya next time!
