reality check

[hypatia42]

does anyone else try one combinations of things to make sure they work before they pack them?

Do you mean pack things a different way to see which is more efficient? I do that all the time.

[amber-phoenix.livejournal.com]

yes, and i'm not even much of a classic femme.

You mean like checking whether they clash, yes?

If so, not I.

[ixtli-awakening.livejournal.com]

i totally do this.

[padmaclynne.livejournal.com]

it depends.

i have tried on outfits for conventions before, but not so much for events at ramblewood.

I should and will in the future. I have made some pretty horrible packing errors!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Yes. But when I don't have time I take EVERYTHING.

My questions: unless you try combinations OR pack everything, how can you know the outfit will be appropriately delicious? And unless you do it before each festival, how can you know it still fits who you've become lately?

What other way is there to achieve good results?

I must admit that I do this with pretty much every trip I do unless it's an outfit I wear constantly. I mean, when you might already be lacking space, or far away from where the bulk of your stuff is and you find out that you brought something that is totally useless to wear because, well honestly, it sucks in some way or another.... that just, well sucks.

I also like to bring possible event clothing with me just in case I get to do something that is a little more go outy or perhaps beachy or whatever might pop up... where you are going.

::cough:: yeah. I especially try on for that last bit. Usually in as much secret as possible because I feel silly for trying on clothes I'm about to pack.

I pack black and all the damn accessories in wild colors that I can cram in!

Absolutely!
