Packing: the solution

I said "No, it would wouldn't work." People said, "It couldn't be." But it was... all of my clothes fit into my trunk!

(pause for a moment of surprise)

I know!!! If you know me, or if you don't, I'll tell you I have a lot of clothes. That's what I get for working at Ann Taylor for three years. As I said in my earlier post- boxes are old things. New solution for shopaholics like me- space bags.

This is what my basement looked like before....

Then with more clothes I found in storage....

And like MAGIC it fits in my car!
I need to write the inventors of the Space Bag a thank you note.

Side note if you're moving- take your old clothes and bags to re-sell boutiques. I always make a run at Simply Chic (at 96th Street in Fishers), then to Plato's Closet (96th near Walmart), then to Goodwill for some awesome tax returns! By selling my things at these stores I made an extra $250 for the trip.

Aside from packing, I needed some other prep for this preppy girl- My mom and I headed down to Bloomington, IN. Home of the Indiana University Hoosiers. It was also Mom's Weekend for my little sister, Gretchen. She is a junior and a Chi Omega down there. Unfortunately, Gretch was sick with a virus all weekend, but we were able to handle a little bit of shopping and a pedicure. This was a welcome distraction from packing and the constant running list in my head.

I decided to get the OPI color- LA Paz-itively Hot!

On to the "Mother Road"-more posts to come :)
