[quote=Anonymous]What kind of trip? How long? Laundry access?

I once spent an entire week with no luggage in the middle of nowhere (thanks, Newark airport). I was able to find socks, underwear, and a sweatshirt, but otherwise only had what I flew in (jeans), and hiking pants and PJs that I stuffed in my carry on so I would have one set of clothes ready to go. I survived. And mostly sort of enjoyed not having choices or clothes to manage.

I learned that you can truly get by on 2 outfits. Wear them each twice, getting you 4 days, and then do some sink laundry, getting you through the rest of the week. I mean, I don't choose to go for a week with only 2 outfits, but I use that mentality when I pack now - rewearing and sink laundry, and not caring about repeats in pictures. If you need nicer evening clothes, you are only wearing them for a few hours in a cooler part of the day, so you can very easily re wear those - I bring lighter dresses that are easy to pack, and quick to dry if I do need to wash.
