Quite a well-known fact about me, I'm a serious over-packer! If I'm going someone for just one to two nights, I'll take a large duffle bag filled with stuff for 'just in case'. It's ridiculous... I figured, considering I'm currently in America, and will be here until July 8th, that I would do a post on the things I've brought with me. Keeping in mind that I'll be staying with my friend Morgan the whole time at her house and will have access to a washing machine for my entire stay here, I figured I'd try the whole 'packing light' thing. Well, my version of it anyway.

Firstly, my idea of packing lightly for the trip is two suitcases... One suitcase had my clothes, shoes and makeup and the other had my underwear, swimwear, chocolates and lollies for Morgan (and my awesome host family) and electrical stuff. Other than that, here's a list of how I attempt to pack light(er than normal):
4 pairs of jeans;
1 pair of shorts;
2 skirts;
9 tops (singlets and t-shirts);
3 dresses (1 more formal dress for Morgan's graduation and 2 more casual dresses);
2 playsuits;
2 sets of pyjamas;
1 light robe;
2 sets of workout gear;
4 pairs of socks
12 sets of underwear

1 pair of casual heels;
1 pair of Nike trainers;
2 pairs of sandals (black and tan);
1 pair of flip flops;

Travel adaptor;
Go Pro & charger; and
Polaroid & film;

Toiletries wise: foundation, powder, primer, contour palette, highlight, 3 lipsticks, mascara, liquid eyeliner, Naked eyeshadow palette, moisturisers, makeup brushes, hair brush, face wash, shampoo/conditioner, razor, makeup remover, nail polish remover, 3 nail polishes, cotton pads.

It may still seem like a lot, but I used to take almost triple the amount of stuff for less time!

I have a thing for matching suitcases when I travel...
