Loved the looks Anna and the holiday looked so relaxing.

I used this method of packing for 4 days in Copenhagen. Neutral separates that all made various outfits.

The only thing was, I felt bored of my clothes by the end. So, although I love a curated, cohesive suitcase, I think I now go for a few more wildcards when I pack. It’s the magpie in me! X

Hey Mrs. Solomon on Style's avatar

I so recognize that feeling of overwhelm when confronted with a full closet after a tight edit away! It's so inspiring. Thank you for the wonderful tips.

I thought you looked so relaxed and chic Anna. Unfortunately the Toteme co-ord is out of my budget. I would love your help finding a dupe!

Amen to this! When I travel for over a month, I typically only pack about 10 days worth of clothes. Why? Because after a nice wash mid-trip, I'm forced to be creative and tie in a cohesive color scheme! It's a fun little challenge that gives me more wiggle room for shopping while adventuring around!

Absolutely gutted that the two faithful items are sold out - did NAP tell you if they’re getting more stock at all, please? Thanks!

Hi Anna! Love this post. I wonder if it’d be possible to include the names of items?

I’m often using your posts as a reference long after the links have expired (a compliment to your incredible content) and it’s easier to locate things with a name. Eg that dreamy faithfull boatneck top I’m attempting to track down 😍😍

Want to make a collage for my own like this with what to pack!! So inspiring. May I ask where you create these mood boards and collages?

Loved the looks & this post Anna!

This is somewhat niche, but do you think the Lookbook on indyx could be utilised for a capsule wardrobe re holiday outfits? I’m at lost with what to pack. If not, do you think this could be a service Indyx would offer? X

I'm a total lover of minimal packing, I like to be foot loose and fancy free and not be lugging a huge suitcase
