This sounds obvious, but the more shit you pack, the more overwhelmed you’ll be. I am by no means a minimalist, but paring down my accessories made my most recent trip to Florida noticeably less stressful.

I did bring earrings, but I honestly preferred all of my looks without them, and I can’t tell you how much easier getting dressed was knowing that my accessories were locked in. I also think it’s so chic when women have go-to accessories that they never take off. Having a signature look demonstrates a strong sense of self.
