50 lb Luggage (23 kg)!

I cannot tell you how excited I am that my luggage weighs exactly 50 lbs! Yesterday it was 70 lbs. After re-packing countless times and discarding many things, it's finally down to its allowable weight. I absolutely underestimated how hard it would be to pack my whole life under 50 lbs. As I'm looking at the things I had to take out: winter ski jacket, white blazer, suede boots, green sweater, black jacket and my favourite Lululemon duffle bag - it sucks :( Now my policy is if I want to add anything else to my luggage, I need to take something out.

I am taking two luggage with me. One is a 28/29" and the other is a 20" carry-on. Both are made by Atlantic. I don't know if they are a good brand but they were on sale and it looks different than just plain black. I really hope it won't break on me!

I wanted to write down a list of things I'm bringing with me but I don't want to tempt the fates by opening up my perfectly packed luggage so I'm going to list things from memory.

Check-in: 
  • Clothes 
    • jeans, leggings, tights, yoga pants, dress pants
    • long sleeves, short sleeves, sleeveless, tank tops
    • dresses (casual and formal)
    • winter/fall coat, blazer, light jacket
    • scarves, hats, gloves, socks
  • Make up & tools
  • Toiletries - small size shampoo, conditioner, body wash
  • Sewing and medicine kits
  • Body lotion & deodorant
  • Shoes
    • runners, flats, flip flops, heels (1 pair each T.T)
  • Gifts
Carry-on:
  • summer clothes
  • under garments
  • important documents
  • little make up bag
  • small first aid kit
  • snacks
  • hair straightener + plug converter
  • jewelry
I'm also taking a big purse as my personal item to keep things I need access to readily like my passport, wallet, ipad, etc. 


I might be a tad too over organized because I've already picked out my airport outfit. :)
