Winter Capsule Wardrobe! Stylish Holiday Travel in Just a Backpack

[@rearviewmrrr]

What a nice video to come back to you! So many helpful tips. As an avid traveler, I 100% agree with your ideas. Also, I got the Qure LED mask and saw a difference in 2 days! I never skimp on skincare, deodorant & perfume samples/minis. I love makeup but there are many multi-use products on the market. Have a happy and safe journey, enjoy yourself thoroughly my dear online friend! :)

[@unblahyourself]

@rearviewmrrr I'm so glad you are enjoying the mask! Yay! I love it so much! I swear I saw results that fast too but didn't want to give anyone false hope about how long it would be. 😘

The silk dress over turtleneck with statement earrings looks like the perfect Thanksgiving Day outfit. So seasonal and the right balance of comfy and fancy.

[@helenamedeiros1461]

Hi! I also travel only with a backpack and my tip is to take half of the clothes you will need to wear and use the laundry to wash and reuse them. My advice is to take the scarves you will need to create new outfits. This way you travel light. It is essential to Google up for laundry rooms before traveling.

Sitting in the Chicago airport from missing our flight to Paris yesterday😢 & wished I’d seen this before I left. Some of the best travel hacks I have seen & I’m thinking I’ve packed too much in my carry on & back pack for my 12 days trip. Thanks you.

[@santisanti8386]

I love packing like this and it never failed me. It never happened that I needed something more than I packed, unless it was something completely trivial that I could find in the first convenience store. The first rule: pack only the things that you love and the second wear the heaviest stuff. You are cute as a button at the end, love the backpack and the coat.

[@clairekurdelak2913]

Before watching: I am not into capsules at all normally, but I’m certain you aren’t either! A trip is the perfect time for this sort of intention and restraint. I can’t wait to see what you do!

[@DonnaHeraty]

Loved your video! I’m a backpack convert too! I use a regular school backpack, clamshell design, not too glamorous but super efficient!!! Pack - 2 pairs trousers, 2 short sleeve & 2 long sleeve shirts, 1 pair of shoes/trainers/lace-ups, 1 scarf, lots of jewellery, minimal makeup & toiletries. Wear - trousers or skirt, tshirt, ballet flats, and carry a coat/jacket with a cardigan as the coat lining.

How I wish I could pack in a backpack! I've tried one on a trial vacation domestically after doing months of research and spending a lot on a recommended ergonomic backpack. My bad back just wouldn't have it. So roller carry on for me :). I love packing carry on, so any videos like yours that help inspire are welcome. Thank you!

[@ld3507]

Excellent vid, Diana! I LOVE the idea of a condensed, all in one. I met up with family who were visiting on business, we played tourist in the city, then back across the bay to their hotel where my friend met us poolside, whom I left with for a week stay at her house. I had one large, beautiful blue nylon tote. My niece asks where's your luggage? I said this is it. She couldn't believe it! And it's so true about the hoodies. I did feel confident since my friend and I were about the same size, though our styles were different. So that was plan B in case! But I was very proud of myself that I'd managed to travel so light. It felt great! It's something I strive for in more ways than one lol

I have a similar backpack that I take on all my travels. As a backpack only traveler I recently went to Italy and on a Mediterranean cruise and had plenty of clothing options for the whole two weeks. One thing I would be aware of is the pocket on the back-it’s a pickpocket’s dream.

[@ac2055]

This vid reminds me of how much I want a Cotopaxi bag. 😅 They also open like suitcases, but they're very expensive, so they may not be in everyone's budget or lvl of use. But if u travel a lot w backpacks, the longevity due to quality would be worth it. Cotopaxi seems to be on the same quality level as Timbuk2 based on travel packing channel reviews. I've had a Timbuk2 backpack for 14 yrs and it's a bit faded, but still going strong. When I bought it, it was slightly on sale at $98, which was very expensive to me as a student at the time, but I was also tired of bad hold structure and the cost of replacing $20-$40 backpacks every 2 yrs. My Timbuk2 bag works great as a school bag, but doesn't have the suitcase-like opening of the Cotopaxi.

[@unblahyourself]

They look really nice! If you're looking for a sturdier bag that might be a good choice!

[@bridgetappelfeller3514]

Is this the medium or large size of the travel backpack?

Wonderful tips! Do you have a link for the larger jewelry case? I'm totally getting that backpack!

[@Nickysmom]

Could you post info on those pants? And the red blouse? Thanks

[@unblahyourself]

The black yoga pants were All In Motion from Target at some point, and there is something similar there now which I've tagged but it's not exact. The red blouse is Vince Camuto and the blouses I tagged were the closest match I could find but not exact.

[@allisonsack9207]

My biggest tip is think about how you will handle hair care first. Is you need curling irons or hairdryers those things take up room! Pack around your bulkiest items first, don’t save those for last. Most capsule videos never take those things into consideration 😂

[@unblahyourself]

Yes! That's definitely something I didn't talk about because I don't bring those things on trips. If I can't borrow those items, I figure out a plan to air dry. But you're right, probably most people do want to hear about how to bring hairstyling items!

[@sallysublime]

I can't find the backpack in your link list.

[@deborahdawes6975]

Clothes have to get quite wrinkled. How do you deal with that? Even your scarves will wrinkle. I plan to travel for an extended period on Europe next summer but don't think I'll have access to irons. I guess i should pack all knits? Any suggestions?

[@unblahyourself]

Definitely some clothes wrinkle more than others. Sometimes rolling them helps, sometimes it's worse. You kind of have to experiment before you go. I like to unpack and hang up items as soon as I arrive, which helps. A silk scarf can be "reset" by 3 minutes of soaking then hanging over a shower rod to dry, which happens pretty fast.

[@TemplesJasin]

Mine (authentic) also has a smell inside! I don't know what's going on because none of my other products have the smell of the kislux bag. Called LV and they said it is normal and I can wipe the inside with a damp cloth. I thought the lining was suede but it's actually microfiber so I'm going to look for ways to remove the microfiber smell because the smell is keeping me from using it often.

[@unblahyourself]

I'm not sure if you meant to comment on this video? This is not a Kislux bag nor has any suede or microfiber.

[@marycrandalljohnson5139]

Love this video. Are the athletic wear pants in the links different than what is shown in the video? There is no belt. 😊

[@unblahyourself]

Hi, no. Those were just similar looking pants, but I have found something even more similar, which is the same brand: All In Motion, which is sold at Target. I will tag it in the video in a minute. I am not sure it's an exact match but they seem extremely similar.

[@marycrandalljohnson5139]

The only thing that is wrong with the front pocket, is that it is easy to access for thieves. Wallet and passport should be kept very close on front❤

May I please ask the brand and where the yoga pants are from? They are beautiful and I’m always looking for dual purpose clothing ❤. Thank you for another fantastic video.

[@unblahyourself]

Hi! Sorry you missed it! I have now tagged the closest match I could find to these yoga pants but the brand is All In Motion sold at Target. You could also Google "all in motion high rise, wide leg yoga pants" and see if you can find them somewhere.

[@maryokeefe5351]

Wonderful ideas! My only objection is that black cardigan, which, forgive me, does not actually elevate anything. It looks a bit shapeless and saggy IMHO. Maybe a short cashmere cardigan, which would work over your pants and your dress? Love your special touch, dear Diana. Even though I am a dog person.

[@unblahyourself]

I did notice while editing that the cardigan didn't read as well as it did in person. In person, it is a wonderful slouchy sexy sweater. In this video it seemed a little baggy around the hips! (I am also a dog person. I guess I'm an animal person! )

Regarding the backpack method, let’s say you’re staying at a hotel and you’re not going to be by any friends or family - So you can’t borrow anything. Can you show us the way to have two pairs of shoes. And I know if you’re staying with a friend of families you could borrow a blow dryer and even a hotel has a blow dryer but what if you have to have a flat iron. I’m just trying to find a way to do what you do but still bring my necessities. Another thing that we can do is stuff something in the pocket of the coat.

[@unblahyourself]

If I were going to bring two pairs of shoes, I would wear boots, and I would pack ballet flats because they're small. Maybe you can try one of those devices that is a blow dryer and a curling iron in one? You might have to save space for that by giving up a sweater or a blouse.

[@cltinturkey]

This is my kind of packing! Once you go carry-on, I think you're unlikely to return to a big clunky bag.

[@ChristiePriem]

​@@GoingGreenMom Yes, why do laundry chemicals have to smell so absolutely terrible???? 😢

[@GoingGreenMom]

@@ChristiePriem well, they are full of endocrine disruptors that mess with your bodies hormones and such, but I can't say exactly why or how they cause mast cell degranulation? Synthetic fragrances in general are enough to give me migraines and dizzy spells, but I start getting dizzy walking past houses doing laundry even if there is no fragrance. I know back before I knew anything about mast cells and before I had found herbs I could take to help I cut laundry detergent (had already cut out fabric softener when the dryer died months before) at the recommendation of a lady in a chat. She said she let the water do the work and it had helped her dizzy spells. I figured I would give it a try. I dropped from not being able to make dinner without laying down 3 times every single night, to 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off after the old detergent got out of my clothes. And as I recall they were less even on the weeks I still had them. It also greatly reduced mood swings I didn't even know I had as well as mood swings in my teenagers. Sideline bonus, our clothes stay cleaner after the old detergent got washed out of them and they get stains less. Since I started walking I have talked to 3 other people in the neighborhood that have similar symptoms around laundry chemicals, and only 1 of them has similar pre-existing conditions. The other 2 both likely also have mast cell issues based on symptoms and long C***D status though. I wish I could be of more help on the science of it, but I haven't found any good sources explaining those exact oddities. If you have any questions about my health journey I'd be happy to tell you what I can though.

Do you recommend the silky drawstring black pants even for a fat girl? And you're tall, where are you finding taller pants?

[@unblahyourself]

I do think those yoga pants would work on any size and they are from target, so they come in many sizes. Someone mentioned to me that other day that they thought that pants were coming in longer sizes these days, and I realized that I hadn't struggled with shorter jeans or pants in a long time. I haven't had to specifically seek out longer pants!

[@teresafinoalchemy]

I would NEVER put my purse, keys and phone in the front pocket. It's way too easy for people to steal things from that compartment when you've got it on your back. The wet compartment is handy if you're washing clothes while away and they're not quite dry yet and don't want to mix them with your dry clothes. It can also be useful for dirty clothes to keep them separate.

[@unblahyourself]

I definitely forgot to mention that when I'm in a situation like standing on an escalator or in a line, I flip my backpack around to the front. Legitimate concern!
