Come Fly with Me

Packing for a business trip can be a nightmare-you can't count on being able to buy something you have forgotten once you land. I mean, how are you supposed to know where to go for a pair of Spanx in Tokyo? So, ladies, planning and strategy are required to fit the necessary array of career-defining looks into one bag. Focus on packing the basics, and embrace the concept of layering, which will kelp to keep you comfortable, efficient and dashing.

Business Travel Do's:

Choose fabrics that don't wrinkle easily:
 Wool, rayon and cotton blends

Invest in your business style essentials: Blouses, skirts and trousers

 

Bring layers:
 Pile them on or pare them down as needed

Err on the side of formality when traveling: But never to the point of being miserably uncomfortable!

Pack at least one day before you leave: Avert the crisis before it happens

Simple Travel Checklist:
Dress
Trousers/Skirt
Blouse
Vest/Cardigan
Jacket
Coat
Shoes
Accessories

Now embark on your business travels with confidence, ready to take on the world. And don't forget your cell phone charger-that's an even bigger disaster than packing the wrong shoes!
