Today I am guest posting for Carrie over at Curly Crafty Mom, and I am sharing my tips on packing for vacation.  If you are visiting from Curly Crafty Mom - Welcome!

Packing for vacation has always been a bit stressful for me. I struggle figuring out what to pack and how much to pack. I typically spend way too much time packing - and end up bringing far more than I need.  I have found that if I am more strategic upfront in my planning and selecting a color theme - packing is less stressful and done in half the time.

Since I am a neutral person when it comes to clothes, I tend to stick with basic blacks and whites, and then add in a couple of pops of color and/or prints. I find this is an easy way of creating a cohesive packing list - and allowing for the most mixing and matching.

From my packing list above, I have put together 12 different outfits.  Below are six looks - and if you head over to Curly Crafty Mom, you can check out six more outfit ideas.
