Style Question Wednesday: Packing Light

Hello All!

It is Wednesday (already!) and thus time for me to seek your advice once again!  Today's topic was actually suggested by my friend GetFresh, who knows I need some help!

As you likely know, we are heading to NYC for 4 nights on March 2nd.  While there, we will visit museums, hit a broadway show (or two), do a little shopping and go out for some nice meals.

But here is the rub: we are driving to Maine to catch an early morning flight.  There will six of us travelling in a minivan (children are each taking an adult friend) together to get to the airport and we will not have a car-top carrier.  We have all agreed to take a purse (well the women have!) and a small carry-on bag and that is it!  We won't be able to fit any more in the van!

Typically, this is how I pack:


But since that is not possible, I need some help/advice!  Or as my dad used to say when we would go away: "I tried to pack myself in a suitcase.  I could hardly contain myself."

Right now, I have a nightie and underwear on my list (we plan to buy soap and shampoo/conditioner there).  That's it.  I need some help!  I am contemplating bringing just one pair of boots, since the weather will not be good for shoes anyway the first week of March,

What do you think? 

I need to be minimalist, but chic!


So please, please, please help me!  I need all kind of good advice to fit it all in!  WHat would you pack to take with you to NYC if that's all the space you had???

Have a happy Wednesday and stay safe out there!
