Love your venture into accessorizing!! And the scarf in the hair!? Amazing

The image of what you packed, and then what you ended up not wearing is SO HELPFUL. I want to be this savvy. The cargo pants are fantastic.

Eleanor! I look forward to your posts so much. It must take you ages to compile all the pictures and links, but I truly gain so much value from your Substack. Thank you!

I’m about to overpack for ~10 days in Mexico. Gonna look into this app!!

lol @ “about to overpack” ... when you know yourself you know yourself! Stylebook is a big time investment at the beginning but I think it’s worth it

I loved reading this! You truly made me laugh and smile. Dense, almond pancakes, not dressing for the male gaze! Whoop! I think I would say to get a different pair of pants to fall in love with versus the Needles in black — I have the olive too; thanks, Rose! The olive is part of what makes them so good. And maybe you want, say a Tibi Calder if you don’t have one!! But either way I’m definitely team you!! Very lucky travel companion 😘

You’re too kind! And I think you’re absolutely right about the color making the pant... would definitely be a different mood in black

I have *Lil Wayne voice* a lot of tattoos, so I have slowly started converting nearly all my summer wardrobe to black. It just looks clean and the tattoos are my best third piece, ha. I'm eyeing that black Cos dress.

I love your use of scarf!!! It translates as natural and easy in the photos!

I am traveling to Phoenix next week, so I know I will be looking at this post multiple times before packing! And NONE of my summer wardrobe is in stylebook yet!!! :')

Those cargo pants are the most! The shape so just so cool. Looks like it was an epic trip, you're inspiring me to book a flight somewhere far away :)

Your packing prowess is IMPRESSIVE! I want to know more. Where do you make your lists in? Are you using a wardrobe digitizing app to organize? I love this!

I use Stylebook ! Have used it for years and find it really helpful (and satisfying for the data-hungry part of my brain)

Took a while to get everything in there but my tip would be to do it as you go / use as many stock images from the internet as possible rather than actually photographing your clothes (looks neater too)
