I decided to take the challenge and self imposed a carry on only limit on my 10 day trip to London UK (leaving tomorrow!!). I've been making a capsule and finally got it all figured out, after weeks and weeks of working on it...(No pics, sorry!) (4 pairs of shoes for my fussy feet, 3 pants one dress, three shirts, two sweaters, an extra purse, and one raincoat, all in black, white, cobalt and leopard.)

Anyway, it all fit into a carry on and a personal item, along with my smallish purse. I included my gear (big sneakers and two sets of running gear for 10 days.) as well as night clothes, undies, socks, stockings, makeup etc.

I just got a text from one of the friends who is going with me. I told her I had everything packed in a carry on.
Her response?

You only have a carry on bag? What is WRONG with you??? (She meant it to be funny, not hurtful.)

I guess I have to remember not everyone reads YLF...

That being said, if I do any real shopping I'm going to have to use the room in her suitcase to get it back home cause my little suitcase is almost at it's limit...LOL
