Ever find yourself overpacking — or worse, packing everything and still feeling like you have nothing to wear? You’re not alone.

In this week’s Make It You Podcast, Tannya shares how she packed for a five-day work trip to Georgia and the exact steps she uses with her clients to travel stylishly and stress-free.

Here’s the quick rundown 👇

1. Start with Your Itinerary

Don’t just pack — plan your looks. Write out what you’ll be doing (dinners, meetings, travel days) so every outfit has a purpose.
→ Action: Match an outfit to each activity before you pack.

2. Rewear and Repeat

Build around pieces that mix and match — like pants, shoes, or jackets — and save statement pieces for special moments.
→ Action: Pack fewer items that work harder.

3. Travel in Comfort and Style

Go for breathable layers, stretch fabrics, and a polished sneaker. And always keep jewelry and designer pieces in your carry-on.
→ Action: Create one go-to travel outfit you love.

4. Be Seen

The biggest takeaway? Don’t be afraid to show up. Your wardrobe should reflect who you are and where you’re going.

FAQ's
Q: How do I plan outfits for a trip without overpacking?

A: Start by matching each outfit to your itinerary. Tannya planned outfits for a five day work trip by listing activities like meetings, dinners, and travel days first. This approach ensures every piece has a purpose and prevents unnecessary items from ending up in your suitcase.

Q: What is the best way to pack a mix and match travel wardrobe?

A: Focus on pieces that can be worn multiple ways. Tannya builds outfits around core items like pants, jackets, and shoes that repeat across looks. This reduces the total number of items while still giving you variety and flexibility throughout your trip.

Q: How many outfits should I pack for a five day trip?

A: Pack one outfit per planned activity, not one per day. Tannya packed for five days by assigning looks to specific moments like travel, meetings, and dinners. This method keeps your packing intentional and eliminates the need for extra backup outfits.

Q: What should I wear on a travel day to stay comfortable and polished?

A: Choose breathable layers, stretch fabrics, and a polished sneaker. Tannya recommends having one go to travel outfit that feels comfortable but still looks put together. Keeping your style consistent even while traveling helps you feel confident from the start of your trip.

Q: Where should I pack my jewelry and designer items when traveling?

A: Keep jewelry and designer pieces in your carry on. Tannya always places valuable items with her instead of in checked luggage. This protects your pieces and ensures they are easily accessible when you need them.

Q: What is the difference between packing outfits and packing random clothes?

A: Packing outfits means every piece is part of a planned look, while packing random clothes leads to unused items. Tannya emphasizes planning full outfits ahead of time so everything in your suitcase works together. This makes getting dressed effortless during your trip.

Q: Do I need a lot of clothes to look stylish while traveling?

A: No, you need the right combination of pieces, not more pieces. Tannya shows that repeating items like shoes or jackets can still create multiple polished looks. Style comes from intention, not quantity.

Q: How can I make packing feel less stressful before a trip?

A: Planning ahead removes last minute stress. Tannya organizes outfits in advance and uses a system where each look is styled head to toe. When every outfit is decided before packing, getting dressed and preparing for your trip becomes much easier.
