Packing: The Obesity of Winter Clothes

Source

Winter clothes could lose a few pounds.

There, I said it.

My ski jacket and pants take up half my luggage space.
Then, there are my beloved Hunter boots.
Also, toques, the winter classic.
Plus, wool socks and warm mittens. Under Armour thermal gear.
Parkas, or trench coats, or rain jackets.

I suppose I could wear all of it on the plane.
I don't mind looking a little crazy, so that I can keep my cashmere sweaters.
Too bad I land in the midst of summer.
I guess I could buy my winter gear when I get there.
But I would like to keep my money, so that I can eat.

Cursed winter clothes.

First World Problems

I'm a low maintenance person. I don't like shopping much.

I live in jeans and t-shirts. Sometimes dresses.

But packing has a knack for exposing someone's true colours. I'm a high maintenance gal. 

Who knew?
I'm contemplating on bringing five pairs of shoes.
I cringe to think how many jackets I can get away with. I thought that would be my only vice.
