Thanks for the kind words on the video!

Omg so true.

You made me laugh so hard! Isn't it true? It doesn't take that much to pull it together. A nice tshirt, leggings, a pair of loafers or great sneakers. Oh, and don't forget the trench coat and a scarf. So simple and so classic.

Hhhh

I agree 🤣

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for the nice compliment!

I love the slip on sneakers too! I've gotten in the habit of wearing a pair of 'orphan socks' when flying (those are socks that have absolutely no match and that you know the other one has been eaten by the laundry gremlin.) I had the unfortunate experience about 10 years ago of stepping through the TSA x-ray tube after a very nervous pet had gone through. My mother taught us to always watch where you're stepping, but it was Christmas, EVERYONE was rushing and crushing and I didn't. The owner apparently only had a half a tissue and needless to say, it wasn't cleaned as well as it should have been. I went through and promptly threw my socks in the trash and baby wiped my feet. I had to unlock my suitcase and unzip my undergarment packing cube to get another pair. But from that moment on, I wear an orphan pair over my regular socks and also carry a pair in my personal item. When I get to the bench on the other side, I throw the orphan socks away and simply leave on my good pair underneath. I'm also a consistent light sweater/cardigan carrier and a breathable cami wearer. 10-year survivor and I've had to learn to ward off the slightest chill or I'll start to spasm. Very uncomfortable in trying to get it under control so I got into the habit my first year of always having one. It's an automatic part of me: keys/purse/phone/scarf or light cardigan. ;o}

Glad it was helpful!

I learned early to get in the habit of trying on my travel items off season/months before the trip to make sure things still fit in case I need to replace anything. I found many of my friends would only pay attention to the dressier options for our trip, but when it came to the more casual items, they assumed things still fit. They realized at the last minute the items had stains or hadn't been laundered properly. (perfumes and natural oils sometimes don't emerge until they've been laundered and we may not realize it until months later. I also do NOT use any laundry detergent that is blue. I've found that sometimes the detergent doesn't wash clean and may spot my whites.) By checking your basics, you know what needs replacing and you're not scrambling and spending $$ unintentionally. We're in the thick of summer and it's almost impossible to find a simple white fitted tee even in Walmart! Glad I snagged one in April when they first put them out! I also use the weeks before (or right when the seasons change) time frame to basically have a fashion show in the mirror. I take a couple of Saturdays/Sundays and block off about 30-45 minutes and try on things then I accessorize in my mirror. This helps me to know what needs replacing (either because I've outgrown (either by weight or by style) and/or I can ensure nothing is stained. it also gives me opportunity to see what undergarments/camis/tanks need replacing. I call my closet 'The 2nd Level' There's NEVER a line to try things on, everything is free, and I can spend as much time as I need! ;o}. I can bend, stretch, put items that no longer fit for me right into a donation bag and I can see if anything needs mending, buttons tightened, etc. I'm also not rushed, I can mix/match accessories, look through totes/and handbags that I either know I'll still use or donate, and this also gives me a great option to know what materials no longer suit me and what outfits work for which seasons. It's also fun! I use scarves (from neckerchiefs to narrow to wide body, depending on the season) to accessorize anything. I'll wear a neckerchief on a belt loop to snazz up a monochrome look or on a handbag to give a pop of color or even braid it as a belt. I look through my earrings and see what has multi uses for outfits for the trip as well and also see what sandals/shoes/boots/sneax may need to be retired and/or replaced. This way, when the season hits, I'll know what to look for and can keep an eye out before everything is gone. Try the fashion show in the mirror beforehand. It also gives you that little 'umph' to see yourself beforehand so you'll know what to expect and what you feel comfortable in but also what ideas pop up with what you already have to make you pull it together. Save Travels always!

Thank you! Curious where you live that you can't travel freely?

Thank you for the nice compliment!

Totally agree!

Thanks so much!

Thank you for the nice compliment!

Lol 😂 I’m not sure where I’ve even heard that term but I use it a lot. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰

Thank you for watching!

Aw, thanks so much! 🥰

Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you so much!

Thank you and welcome!

Thank you!

So sweet, thank you!

Reminds me of Ralphie from A Christmas Story and the bunny outfit his aunt sewed for him and how his dad said he looked like a deranged Easter bunny!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

I wear my staple pieces like simple stud earrings, necklace, bracelets and wedding ring. I'll then pack earrings and other items based on what clothing items I'm packing. I have several other packing videos in the playlist linked at the end of the video that may help.

Thank you! Yes, I've worn compression socks on long flights as well. Even a long car trip. They come in handy for sure.

Thank you and welcome! 😀

It doesn’t bother me. If I use my Neverfull it does have a clip in the center that helps. I’ll also place a scarf on top so nothing falls out.

Hi, thank you! Mine is old but here is the updated version. All links are listed in the description box. rstyle.me/+cTo1JmFplkWUXTA79Vxjbg

Leggings are not "adult clothing". I wore plenty of leggings growing up in the 90s, hand me downs from my cousins who grew up in the 80s, in lots of fun colors. They were almost always too cold, got wet and didn't dry quickly, and chafed. I'm sure, now, Lululemon and Atheta and probably Eileen Fisher too, make quality leggings, but they're not more "grown up" clothes 🤣👌.

I always give sizes either by saying them or in the description area next to the item. In this case, items may be older and I’ve recommended a similar alternative that I do not know sizing. Always refer to the size chart on sites, that helps me.

I have a lot of videos with entire vacation outfits including the travel day.

@@MissCrystal I’ll look them up! Thanks

Hi, I believe they are leopard print.

Hi, thank you! Here you go: bit.ly/3u8p4KH

Hi, I sized down to an XS.

Hi, it's one I got several years ago in Grand Caymen. I have a similar one in grey from St. Thomas. I loved the vintage look of them and they are super soft.

Hi, everything is always linked in the video and you can also find everything on my Blog. Here is the link rstyle.me/cz-n/furm2c3fsn

@@MissCrystal fyi, link does not work...

@@nuvoclassic Looks like they are no long part of LTK and that's why the link no longer works. They were when this video came out months ago. Here is the direct link: www.stelladot.com/p/crush-it-carry-on-black-quilted

Hi, welcome! I do have a Poshmark but haven’t listed anything in awhile because my shopmisscrystal Instagram page does better. I usually just donate clothes though.
