When I went to Europe for 2 weeks I went for a strict regimen of jeans and cardigans, knowing full well that I would buy nice tops and pretty dresses along the way. The thing I suck at most is bringing way too many pairs of shoes, though.

Usually dark, so it can double at night and during the day. Then, I pack a couple t-shirts: a simple tank or two for the day, and a fancier top for night (or a dress that can double duty). T-shirts take up surprisingly little space. Then, I try not to pack more than one pair of shoes, but if I must must must, never more than two. I may pack two sweaters, but I never take more than one coat, because coats take up so much room. I like to give myself flexibility by picking a good base and packing a whole bunch of stuff that I can mix and match, and that sort of avoids the "just in case" problem. I also pack all in the same family of colors (black)... I travel a lot, and so I sort of fall into this, particularly for weekend trips: I pack one pair of jeans.

Honestly, compared with all the luggage ladies carry around in movies, I think I'm pretty good... I mean, did you see 'Australia'? oh god, i hate that they are charging for checked baggage now, they have decreased the weight limit, and now that I’m married, so I have person nagging me not to check luggage.

I'll pack a few favorite items, then figure if they don't work, I'll buy whatever I need--not taking into consideration how picky I am & that I probably won't want to buy something I won't wear after the trip. Sigh. I’m terrible at this but in the reverse, I think.

What are you going for? Try to bring things that don't wrinkle easily and that you can mix and match with. Don't forget a great belt and some tights for cooler evenings :) Looks great.
