When you pack your clothes for a vacation, do you pack too many? Do you feel frustrated and stressed out when you are deciding what to pack? Do you pack whole outfits, only to change your mind on what to wear once you get there? I created a 5-Day Spring Vacation Capsule for your upcoming spring getaway and I’ve got an easy tool you can use to make packing a breeze!
I created a Travel Wardrobe Packing Chart to take the stress out of deciding what to pack. You can use this chart to help you quickly and easily plan your travel wardrobe. I shared this tool in this post, “Travel Wardrobe Packing Chart: An Essential Planning Tool For Your Vacation Getaway or Work Trip [PDF + Canva Template]“.

Ways To Use The Chart
There are 2 ways to use the Travel Wardrobe Packing Chart…
1. Write The Items On The Chart
Fill in the blanks using the PDF from above. Just print the chart, then handwrite the items you will be packing onto the chart. Then, refer to the chart when you are packing your suitcase or bag. See the example below:

2. Edit the Template In Canva
You can use the Travel Wardrobe Packing Chart as a template in Canva! This method takes a bit of time, but you may like this method if you are a visuals person. Open the template in Canva and either add images or text of the pieces you want to pack. When you are finished, either download the finished chart to your phone/tablet or print it for reference.

Laundry While Traveling
If you need to freshen up your clothes while on your trip, you can pack a small, packable container of laundry detergent and wash any pieces in the sink in your hotel room, then hang to dry if there isn’t a washer/dryer close by. When building your travel capsule wardrobe, avoid packing dry-clean-only items.

A Bit Of Inspiration For Your Day:
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9
These are great outfit ideas! So cute! I am going to see my mom for her birthday in March and am definitely going to use the outfit ideas you shared to plan out what I’m bringing.
I LOVE your blog. It is a no brain approach for me to get dressed in the morning. With four kids and a husband to get ready and out the door I need all the help I can get!

Thank you Ashley! I’m glad to help! 😃❤️
I’m happy to hear you like the outfit ideas! 😃❤️
That supercute jacket is sold out in the small and medium sizes already!
I needed this and the timing was perfect! Because I am a deep winter, I kept the navy and white and switched out the lighter colors for jewel tones like berry and emerald. Thank you so much for this timely and inspiring post.
Mary,
I’m glad to hear this post helped! I’m sure those jewel tones look lovely with the capsule. Have a wonderful day! 😀❤️
Thank you so much for this Leanne. Really appreciate the packing suggestions. I usually stress over what to pack and ended up packing too much. This is going to be very useful.
