“Why Is My Suitcase So Heavy – When I Haven’t Even Packed That Much!”

I’m sure the statement above has gone through your mind before… Am I right? No doubt you would have come up with some excuse to hide the fact that you have simply taken too much!

I mean, C’mon, you need the small red leather shoulder bag to match your red tank top… And the black clutch bag – cos the colour’s universal… And not forgetting all your favourite tops – how can you possibly be seen wearing the same top or the same colours for 2 days in a row?! Ridiculous – right?! Hey, not forgetting accessories – Oh, they are a must…. My outfits would simply look too plain without them!

If the weather is good – sandals would be great, a few summery tops and bottoms… But what if it rains? So I better bring my closed-toe shoes, my cardigan, warmish clothes… Make-up, toiletries…. Yip, been there, done that! Problem is you can’t close your suitcase!

So how do you solve the problem? You go through each piece of clothing, each accessory, each pair of shoes, each hand bag and so on… and you filter in your brain whether it will match your outfits, your desired style, will you wear them and do you really need it.. And what happens at the end? You manage to remove maybe one piece of item.. Why? Cos you NEED everything that you packed!!! Like me, most of you will probably not wear or use everything that you bring in your suitcase! But we do it because “Just in case”!! I mean, who knows what happens on holiday, whether it will be warm or cold, whether you will suddenly be invited to some trendy club or party, how you will feel and what you want to wear on a particular day?

I feel so much better now that I know why I packed so much! Because it’s “Just in case!”

Another problem… Big heavy suitcase, but Huppy not travelling with me! Ummm….
Regardless – I need everything in the suitcase!
