Personal Item Only! Packing 11 Outfits for a 4-Day Cruise
I'm packing for a 3-night, 4-day cruise using ONLY a personal item bag - no suitcase, no carry-on! Watch if I can actually pull this off with 11 mix-and-match outfits, all my toiletries, meds, and cruise essentials. In this video I share my exact cruise packing hacks: ✅ How I built 11 outfits from just 3 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 dresses + a layering piece ✅ Why lightweight, roll-friendly fabrics are the real secret to packing light ✅ The bag feature that changed everything (hint: it has a built-in shoe compartment) ✅ Everything else I stashed in there - toiletries, meds, sound machine, Euro adapters, and more If you're planning a short cruise and want to skip checking a bag or dragging a big suitcase onboard, this capsule-style packing method works even if - like me - you're not "itty bitty." I wear a size large, and it still all fit! I'll link everything I can below (a few pieces were thrifted, so those I can't link, sorry!).
