I am often asked how I only take a carry-on so I’m showing you what to pack for an overnight trip. When I have overnight trip, I only take a very small Travelon carry-on bag. I’ve had that bag for about 10 years and I love it. Of course I used packing cubes which always makes everything easier!

What To Pack In An Overnight Bag
When traveling, here is what to pack in an overnight bag:
- sleepwear
- Short sleeve shirt
- Long sleeve shirt
- undies
- showercap
- One of my handmade bonnets
- House slippers
- Shampoo/conditioner (travel size)
- Travel size toothpaste
- travel size soap
- Travel size lotion
- Silver shoes
- If you don’t want to wear slippers, it’s good to walk around in socks. I love these.
In order to sanitize everything properly, having the following in your bag should be part of what you pack overnight.
- Hand sanitizer
- Sanitizing wipes /Disinfectant wipes
- Face towels -you may want to bring your own face towels if you don’t want to use what your hotel or rental provide.
What To Pack In An Overnight Bag
That’s it. There was no need to pack anything else because that is everything needed for an overnight trip. A sweater and scarf can be worn in case it gets chilly, and an extra shirt can be packed to wear the next day. There is nothing wrong with re-wearing jeans and your accessories can match everything you pack. I love the silver flats because they are comfortable and they can dress up jeans without trying too hard.
I like to be stylish and cute when I travel but I don’t like to spend lots of money doing it, I prefer to spend my money on the things that are important to me while I’m in destination.
