For dresses, I'd take the blue in #1 (looks comfy, can be dressed up or down, maybe wear on plane w/ leggings), the LBD, and the floral in #5 just because it is so much fun. =) For NYC, I think you want the crossbody bag. Hands free is good and it looks like it can be dressed up or down.

All of the dresses are fab. Take them all and a variety of tights, cardi's, scarves and belts to accessorize. I like the MJ bag the best. I would bring that one if it is comfy for you.

Are these to wear during the day? If so, it really depends on what works with your walking shoes.

I would definitely bring the blue - NOT meh, accessorized well, and useful!!! And the LBD. And if I were bringing skirts and/or trousers too, that would probably be it. Leaving room in the suitcase to buy something. Though I bet the floral packs up to nothing, in which case why not bring it - it makes you happy!

I would bring a cross body bag. For my New York trip (a bit shorter than yours) I brought two cross body bags. I was grateful to have hands free for shopping bags (tee hee!)

Great advice, Suz! Both floral dresses can be squeezed/ rolled into nothing without being wrinkled - so will bring them for fun and rather cut down on a top or two. And maybe leave the denim dress at home too.

I'll thake the cross body bag + the flip&tumble is crossbody and can contain a lot.

I borrowed a large suitcase and my intention is the pack just 1/3 of it

I vote bring your favourite dresses and dress them up and down!

I would leave the denim one also! And bring the Marc Jacobs bag as it looks most flexible with all the dresses, and good for all day

Good Jayne, I'll leave the denim dress at home + take the Marc bag. All the other dresses takes very little place when packing, so that's another reason for not bringing it. The cross body bag is very versatil - that's the reason why I got it last year (in NY!!). Thank you for reminding me about my initial intentions for that bag!
