  • This is my capsule wardrobe experiment for traveling. I am a self proclaimed over-packer and am trying to see what I can do to dwindle down what I take so that I can have a lighter and more efficient wardrobe.
    I will be traveling to Italy in the Fall and this exercise is in preparation for that trip. I hope this video helps my fellow Plus Size over packers and regular over packers alike!

    Thank you so much for this! As a plus size girl who does not want to pay to check my luggage, I searched high and low for packing tips. I went through the smaller girls' videos and kind of worked my packing from there but it was so hit and miss. There just isn't enough out there for us girls! This is so much appreciated--thank you again!!!

    • @ThickGirlzGuide
      @ThickGirlzGuide  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That is one of the reasons I made this! It’s one thing to fly carry-on only when you’re very thin. But it is much more difficult being plus size as our clothing takes up a lot more room. I’m so glad you found this video helpful!

    I’m really glad to see this video. Excellent job! There are a few plus size carry-on only travel capsule YTers with similar videos, but they are “smaller fats” and their options tend to be functional vs styled. Im a 3x/4x carry-on only traveler, and it took a lot of trial and error for me to finally get 30+ unique outfits into a single carry on, which I just recently packed for a 3-month trip. And the trick is exactly what you showed: a capsule with a color scheme, being sure to include layering pieces like cardigans or jacks or button-up shirts, ensuring every top or top+layer combo matches every bottom, and ROLLING your items to pack. My other packing “secret” is to only pack clothes, pjs, and shoes in the suitcase and put everything else in the personal item (including bras and panties, which can be hard to find in large sizes in brick and mortar stores outside of the US, in the event your carry on gets gate checked and lost/delayed). So your video isn’t just theoretical, it’s 100% practical and doable, even for larger fats. Thanks again for the great content!

    • @ThickGirlzGuide
      @ThickGirlzGuide  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much! That is why I made this video, all other carry-on capsule wardrobes are done by much smaller people. I was pleasantly surprised that it all fit in the carry on with quite a bit of room left and I also had the personal item bag that was empty. Where did you travel over the 3 month trip?

    I think you made excellent choices. Being a curvy girl as well, I am always trying to get a good balance of pants, dresses and tops and sweaters. Also great color combinations as well. I also pack a packable duffel for your clothes and souvenirs go in your hard case. You can check your bag on the way home if you have too. I did 2 weeks in carry on only in Italy 2 times so far and it is pretty easy. Hope you have a great trip.

    • @lynneeie5226
      @lynneeie5226 Před 4 měsíci

      I wonder if the 5-4-3-2-1 method would help? I am a smaller sized plus, but have done 3 bottoms (1 worn on the plane) and 4 tops = 12 possible outfits. Add 2 layering pieces and you have 24 outfits & wear one layer on the plane and dress in layers… wearing the warm layers on the plane? It has helped me really narrow down and pack super small in an underseat. I wear my boots & take a pair of tennis shoes. You may already know of this method, but I just thought I would mention it for the winter packing as that is what has helped me. It is hard to figure out what to take at times & still have style. This is pretty minimal but I have done it for two weeks - when visiting my folks so I could wash and wear. It is harder when one has no way to wash clothes easily though & that might be the biggest challenge actually. 🤔 I am going to get to test this out for myself soon for 2 weeks & a roadtrip and trying to wash on the way 😬 So hoping I can make it work! 🤞🏻
