The carry-on rule most women break before they even start packing! Most women start packing by pulling clothes out of their closet and laying them on the bed. That's the mistake. When you start with clothes, you pack with feelings. You grab your favorites. Your "just in case" pieces. The outfit you've never actually worn but keeps calling your name. And before you know it, you need a checked bag. Here's the rule I live by — I've been traveling full time out of a single 20" carry-on for years — and the one thing that changed everything: Start with your bottoms. Not your tops. Not your dresses. ✅ Your bottoms. Bottoms set the tone for everything else. The style of your pants or skirt determines what shoes work. Which tops pair well. Whether your whole wardrobe reads as casual or polished. Pick 2-3 bottoms that all match each other's style. Then build up from there. Everything will be easier from that point on. I promise 💜
