Looks like you did a fabulous job of packing because you ALWAYS look amazing :)<br /><br />After years of traveling, we have FINALLY learned how to pack. We USED to STUFF our bags full on our way back to the states, only to find we were always overweight, since we needed to buy things to bring back while we were there. Now we hardly pack AnYTHING and can bring back whatever we need :) I've learned it's OK to wear the same thing more than once in a week. haha!Amanda Wissmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857843234671826550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-3543343520625727362013-06-25T09:55:52.799-07:002013-06-25T09:55:52.799-07:00You are SO beautiful Katie - inside and out.

I gave away some dresses I LOVE before moving to East Asia simply because I knew it would be more trouble that it was worth to get wrinkles out.<br /><br />If you ARE sick of your clothes by the end of your trip, I bet if you left some stuff behind for someone staying there long term, you'd make someone's year! I just got tons of "hand-me-downs" from a STINTer :)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941197353597674398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-19780987911727696942013-06-24T20:38:11.556-07:002013-06-24T20:38:11.556-07:00Lookin good girl!Lookin good girl!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949788813395469120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-44101475067995280712013-06-24T18:46:49.249-07:002013-06-24T18:46:49.249-07:00I can't imagine trying to pack like this.

My plan is to wear my little sisters' clothes (I've heard they've gotten bigger in the last three years, so that should work to some extent) and to just buy clothes there and bring them back to the US. I prefer Malaysian clothes to American clothes anyways!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-14715953191849378832013-06-24T08:59:39.067-07:002013-06-24T08:59:39.067-07:00love that headband! simplicity is the best :)love that headband! simplicity is the best :)Lauren Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656369316839461456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-39695740359504418582013-06-24T08:56:41.237-07:002013-06-24T08:56:41.237-07:00so so cute! i love that blue ring too. :)
