I'm the kind of girl who can't go on a trip to southern alberta without packing at least half my bedroom, and all I get to take on this trip is 1 suitcase and some carry-ons, and plus all of this I have to take school supplies, church materials, miscellaneous (blowdryer, curling iron, alarm clock, headlight, toiletries, make-up, jewellery, beach towel, computer, ect, ect!) So if anyone has good suggestions of where to buy any of this stuff relatively cheap and still relatively cute, (I've already gone to VV) let me know! Cause I need help!
Just remember that everyone else will be living with the same amount of clothes, so they're not going to judge you for wearing the same shirt 15 times. And you can use your workout clothes as another set of pj's to save packing space. You can always wash your clothes in the shower if you're worried about laundry availability. I know it sounds crazy, but you can make it work! Use space bags and roll your clothes super super tight! I'm so excited for you and you better post a LOAD of pictures! I wanna live vicariously through you girly!
ReplyDeleteoh mary margaret my little chunk! lol, remember that? now lucy is my sweet little chunk :) What about walmart or superstore? Dont they have pretty cheap clothes, and prolly more modest stuff in the older women's sections. And you dont have to worry about impressing any guys anyways, cuz you're not allowed to DATE or hold hands or anything :) LOL!!! What about shade clothing?? Anyways,I am SO excited for you and the adventure you are going to have there!! Love ya <3
