Did you guys realize that New York Fashion Week starts today? I can’t believe it's been six months since I was last all up in NYC's guts, hobnobbing with the Illuminati. But it's that time again, and I have to pack for the trip. Packing guides are actually a pretty popular topic amongst the fashion set if you already weren't aware. However, the idiots that write them always focus on all the wrong things, like how to properly fold a jacket or where to put your toiletries so they don’t splooge all over your cashmere. That shit is basic as fuck. I'm not here to teach you how to roll up your knits ties and stick them in your shoes or to tell you the average weight limit for checked bags. This is how a real #influencer packs for Fashion Week.

Wait Until The Last Possible Minute
If you're anything like me, you'll wait until the hours before your flight takes off to start packing. Waiting 'til the last minute to pack for a trip that could have professional implications adds a level of excitement and desperation to everything. It feels like you're in an episode of The Amazing Race or some shit. Plus, that way you won't overthink your fits. Instead of meticulously planned gear, it'll be like alphet Russian roulette. You'll be pleasantly surprised that you remembered to pack that EG shawl you copped on sale, but equally perplexed by the fact that you can remember to pack a shawl and tote bags but completely forget to pack any underwear at all. Don't worry, there are like fifteen hundred Uniqlos in New York City these days. Just buy whatever basics you forgot there. Hopefully, they got, like, a two-for-one deal on some drawers.
