- Carrie Bradshaw
Carrie - I (nor my mom who stands steadfast beside me during the packing fiasco) couldn't have said it better myself.
My wardrobe has migrated from my childhood bedroom into my family room. 10 weeks worth of New York-worthy ensembles decorate the backs of chairs. An assortment of summertime wedges line edge of the couch while piles of multi-colored beads cover the coffee table. Packing for 70 days is both intense AND messy.
Carrie Bradshaw solicited the guidance of her closest friends when moving from her iconic apartment into her married home with Big. Although my buddies are scattered throughout the state, country and world, I sought their packing advice via text message.
"If you were going to NYC for 10 weeks, what would YOU pack?!" I asked. The following are received responses:
Boyfriend and Courie either had similar ideas - OR they simply took the easy way out when offering advice. Regardless, I agree with you both - I'd prefer to pack EVERYTHING!
Great couples think alike. Chris and wife Sarah both suggest I diminish the family bank account on the streets of 5th Avenue.
Panda - yes, FedEx WILL be instrumental in carrying me through 3 months!
Loggins, Clynch and Corley - I heed your advice. I've exchanged several pairs of heels (rarely worn, often admired) for sensible BUT adorable flats. I might even throw in a pair of sneakers (although I'd have to buy a pair!) - how's THAT for comfort?
Sarah Spivey, you offered me the affirmation I needed to stuff "Babies" - my ragged and worn 20-year-old doll (many first-time viewers ask, "Was she in a house fire?") in my carry-on.
Last but not least, the stoic and fashionable Kait Poncsak provided affirmation. Regardless of what items make their way into my suitcase, I'll allow creativity to run rampant and approach the unknown with style and a smile.
What would YOU pack for 10 weeks in the world's most fashionable city?
