I Tried The 3 Day Packing Method to Create a Week of Outfits and LOVED IT

[@ericafloreani173]

Hi Alyssa, I’ve just turned 73 and live in Adelaide South Australia and I love your videos. I still enjoy dressing in a modern and current way and have gained so much inspiration from you. I am now much more creative with my clothes. Thank you😊

[@TrippedTravelGear]

We're BEYOND FLATTERED! Never thought to apply our own packing method to my own closet and weekly styling! .... heading to my closet now

[@ConserveMore]

You put together a capsule like no other! I love the color and variety you use. You have a real eye for being able to combine pieces. So interesting and unique!

[@gailwilliams5278]

You once or twice did ‘collaborations’ with your mother. Both of you wearing the same item/s but styled differently. I’m closer in age to her than you (I’m retired, actually), so her looks really interested me. Any chance you will be doing more of these mother/daughter presentations?

Where is your mothers green dress from? Label?

Id love to see this too! Being yr mums age

I LOVE the “bombshell” look on you. Stunning. Please keep it!

[@jantruszkowski5064]

Your black second hand skirt is such a find! It looks gorgeous on you.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you!!

[@katem3961]

This was fantastic, Alyssa. I can't wait to try this out. It's now 2120hrs here in Western Australia 😊 So tomorrow lookout. I wear hospital scrubs all the time, which I think has really impacted my ability to dress for normal daily life. So this technique really appeals. Your new black mini is gorgeous on you, and I personally love it with the stripped silk top. You do bombshell so well. It is so you. Your mums dress with your new strappy sandals, just magic. Thank you 💗

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Have fun with this challenge! I'm so glad it resonated! xx

[@Katuchis]

I love this method, I'll definitely give it a try. And thank you for being authentic and sharing about enjoying solitude. ❤

[@rbraxton00]

Yes, thank you. You’ve helped me with my packing for London the end of the month. Very nice and simple.

[@juless9277]

So fun! I love the no-added-stress of it being an exercise for home, rather than exclusively for travel. My wardrobe has been feeling a little stale and dull lately, and I'm inspired to try this for myself this coming week to see if it breathes some life back into my summer pieces.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

excellent! Have fun shopping your closet!

[@amyblumenthal7227]

Yes yes yes - you've created a topnotch capsule of beautiful timeless pieces and colors!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! I'm so glad you like it!

[@onelifewithleslie]

I just tried it for my upcoming trip to LA and think I found the perfect capsule of 10 clothing pieces plus some accessories to pull 14 looks together.

[@ek8620]

Hello Alyssa! Long-time subscriber and fan of your content from Vancouver, BC. I stumbled on the Tripped video when I was packing for a three-day trip last month to a casual, beachy locale with a celebration in a fine dining restaurant. I tried this method and it was GENIUS. I even included the “what if’s” Tripped recommended that you didn’t cover in this video…what if it rains? What if the restaurant is more casual than I thought? What if my bathing suit is wet but I want to go swimming again? I was sceptical that I would end up with a mountain of clothes, but I didn’t - even though I needed four pairs of shoes to cover all the essential, everyday and travel day activities - everything fit in my small under-the seat carry-on with room to spare. I was stunned. Never felt more prepared, comfortable and always appropriate on a trip. My go to packing system from now on. Also, the combinations of outfits between the days seemed to be endless…Colder weather clothes will need a larger carry-on for this method, but I can see now how it can work in winter, too. Great idea to try for a week of outfits at home!

[@SaintsandSushi]

I’m loving your new style of dressing…is more fun/flirty but still functional. Those brown pants you got on with the black cropped shirt are so awesome 👍

[@lisannealary2027]

Love that vidéo! Très utile et tellement une bonne idée. Merci de partager votre contenu. 🤩

[@suehogan901]

I just ran across the Trippin capsule video this morning & watched both of them. Part 3 still to come, I think? Quite a good perspective. I LOVE your application for planning out clothes for the week!

[@RobinLNJ]

I saw that tripped video, and have the three day method in my head as I start gathering my wardrobe for an upcoming 30 day trip to Europe. I appreciate your take on this alot….. I very much enjoy putting together a capsule, and after my last trip where I mixed and matched the same items for weeks on the trip, it really hit home how I don’t need quantity of pieces, but just good quality versatile pieces that are LOVE items. It’s also helpful to shop my own wardrobe and see things in a new way.

[@debbiefinn1534]

I love that lily silk knit.. looks amazing on you. Video 👍

[@Sorana44]

I am doing this weekly. And its so refreshing and bring so much control and peace bc you don’t have to panic like you said when you have to rush out and the thing I like most its the fun part of creating outfits, I get so much inspo from you and others so, yeah I love this kind of video. Thank you!!

[@christinamanucy8037]

I’m going to try this method! As you point out Alyssa, major bonus points for more shoe options! lol! That’s always the hardest part about packing for me. 😅 Thanks for sharing.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you for watching!

[@CoryPowl]

I LOVE this so much. I just happened to see the Tripped video earlier this week so it seems the universe is telling me to try this method. Can't wait to give it a shot. Your outfits are fantastic!

[@leejacobs3620]

Great video, always love the way you put pieces together... with options. Thank you for sharing.

[@Hillytrek]

This is such a good idea. Simple, but you don't necessarily think to do it. On another matter, I wonder what you think about the current criticism of Sezane moving away from small collections and limited drops, quality questionability and producing more like 'normal' faster fashion brands?

[@suzyblake2007]

Great video! I have an everyday capsule wardrobe but have been considering changing it. I love this method of helping decide on essential pieces. I am going to try this with only thrift and second-hand pieces.

[@skygaz3r]

I saw this method on the Tripped Travel Gear channel n loved it! Especially for travel packing. I think you missed a step though.. going back and pulling one or two items a day for JUST IN CASE scenarios. That would totally cover the “cute dress” dilemma on your “weekend” outfit imho..

[@lynndavis3703]

Thank you Alyssa for such an informative video! Love all of your content!💕

[@skd7028]

Wow, well that’s an interesting way to define what you need for either vacation planning or weekly. Why did it never occur to me before that I change clothes during the day for various activities. I will have to watch this again. I also agree that a clothing rack is a life changing tool. Thank you for the information!

[@cheryl3366]

Love the looks, but the one thing no one talks about is laundry, I can only get one day out of my light clothes. It would be good to include wash days.

i like them all

[@mirriadel]

That lily silk top looks great with the cream jeans, but I can also see it with a going out midi/maxi ruffle or tulle skirt in any colour. For some reason I’m thinking like a purple or lilac. Why do I feel like you have a skirt like that? Not sure, my memory is bad 😂 Anyway something that’s a bit more puffy/volume to compliment/contrast the fit of that top. It would give a slightly more casual look and then you could even throw on white sneakers with it.

[@jlarochelle4581]

Can you do this for the fall too?

Hi Alyssa, thank you for sharing your great fashion tips with us. I love your style and motivate me to go through my closet and what I already have and just get a few accessories to elevate it. I did go on the website to look for that cream belt collaboration you did and I could find all the other colors but the cream do you know if they are out of stock?

i would change long sleeve to short sleeve shirt because i can't wear long sleeves in summer here in japan.eventhough its natural fibers.overall nice concept.

That long linen dress you borrowed from your mother is beautiful. I have been on the hunt for something like that. Do you have any tips on some stores that have that style? I’m new to your page and struggle to find things like this and just get lost in the normal big box stores!

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@TremmersUSA Edit: Alyssa replies to another post here that her mother purchased the Olive Linen Dress in Crete. /I wrote: You may not be a person who buys second-hand or thrifted clothing. But, if you are, the reselling platforms like Poshmark, EBay, Mercari and Vinted have good quality search functions. You could try something like 'Linen Shirtdress, Half Button Front, Midi Length, Side Slits, Size 10' and see what the resellers have in their 'stores'. You can put a 'Like' on an item if you're thinking about it. You can also message the reseller with any additional questions. If the garment has never been worn, it will be described as NWT (New With Tags).

A sheer white blouse with a black bra underneath? This look comes and goes, but it's never come for me. Either braless (given the strategic position of the pockets) or flesh colour bra. I am just back from a week on the hot Po Plain in Italy. Travelled in linen/cotton denim bermudas, linen shirt, light trainers. Packed 2 pairs of shorts and two pairs of long linen pants (the mosquitoes there are killers); two pairs of sandals; 3 tank tops, 2 linen T-shirts (one not worn) and two linen shirts; pyjamas, silk pillowcase plus underwear. Well within the airline hand luggage limits

[@Hillytrek]

The flesh colour bra can actually be more obvious, because people stare to see if you are bare underneath! lol Where as with a black bra, it is obvious that you are completely covered. I love that look and she looks amazing in it. A timeless classic.

[@Hillytrek]

.....not that there is anything wrong with the flesh coloured choice if that's your thing.

Totally agree white or light coloured clothes with black bra or one that is obviously for me just looks cheap and like you can’t be bothered. Obviously everyone has their own opinion this is just my opinion it’s just not for me.

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@janelynch2180 (1 mo later) I agree. The prices are out of consideration for many of us. /However, to compare, I read a comment from the video Alyssa uploaded about 'Choosing & Styling Flat Shoes'. The lady said she'd bought eight pairs of low cost flats from Amazon. Brightly colored with decorative beads. (She called them her Bollywood shoes.) She said she paid $10-15 each, and accordingly did not expect them to last long. I think __ there __ is the difference in approach. Spend approx $120. Have lots of variety that may only last 1-2 seasons. Or, be happy with one or two high quality pieces. Which, if cared for, may last many years.

[@katyasilitch4539]

I loved many of your pieces, can you provide links to them or at least the names of the brands?

[@doctorberkowitz]

Do you have any tips for how to buy things that are difficult to fit? I buy so much stuff online these days, but when I'm buying jeans, swim suits, running shoes, and other things where I have to try on a lot of them to find something that fits well, I end up shelling out north of a $1000 just to try stuff on. I find the stores don't even stock that many options anymore. Do you know of any good solutions?

[@Marina-lw1iz]

It's nice to have good home cloths. I really don't know how to stop wear at home old t-shirts, pants, etc. And at the same time it is not worth money which big brands push us to spend on loungewear.

[@user-z5e5h]

I love your belt, and I actually ordered it - the only belt I have doesn’t fit well with my high waisted pants, so I thought of adding a new belt to my wardrobe. Brave Leather sent me a wrong item, and it seems to be impossible to return what they sent and get a replacement.Their customer service is almost non-existent, and I had to contact my bank to initiate a chargeback, which I’ve never done before. This made me regret my purchase tbh. The belt itself seems to be of high quality, but since it has a fairly high price, it should come with a good customer service which Brave Leather doesn’t have. What they do have is a large email marketing team that sends you emails several times a week. Or maybe they’re one of those slow fashion companies that are going to close in the near future, so they’re cutting costs to stay afloat for as long as they can?
