[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here….

Thanks so much for the replies. I definitely get stressed packing and it takes forever. I’m getting ready to go to a resort for 3 weeks and I really need to rein it in.

My biggest problems:
I take too many undergarments.  Different style bras and lots of underwear. I went to the beach earlier this summer and took a ridiculous amount of clothing.  I took 2 pair of jeans, 5 pairs of shorts, 8 tops, 5 swimsuits, 3 coverups, and 4 pairs of pajamas.  I also took two pair of shoes, 4 pairs of socks, 2 light sweaters and a sweatshirt.  My biggest problem, is the little stuff.  My tablet, charging cords, extra reading glasses, 3 pairs of sunglasses and anything you can pick up at a pharmacy….just in case.  I really need help.I even pack different types of underwear. My husband died 2 years ago, so it’s just my clothes.  I was an over packer when he was living too.  I so want to learn to be efficient.   Again, thank you all and I look forward to more suggestions.[/quote]

Sorry for your loss OP.

I'm the 3 item poster.

For a resort where you don't need to move your luggage from place to place, and you might be dining with same people every evening, I would add in carry-on

3 swim bottoms, 1 is reversible from stripes to solid, 1 is a pair of swim shorts for SUP or kayak, could also jog in then

3 swim tops that can mix and match with bottoms. Two are reversible, floral to solid, black to navy

5-6 dresses for dinner that are lightweight
2-3 sundresses that could also be coverups eg Sweaty Betty Ace Explorer midi or mini dress

Sarong/wrap/cardigan

The reason 3 works for me is in case something doesn't dry overnight, then there's something to wear, and you could go a few days without washing if you wanted.

Enjoy your trip!
