I take packing for a holiday so outrageously seriously. I'm a firm believer in packing cubes. The trick is to fold everything to the same size as the cube and you can fit SO much in. In the top one I have eight tops, 6 bottoms and two dresses!!! You can 100% fit everything you need for up to a ten day trip in a carry on bag if you are efficient enough and that is a hill I am willing to die on
