Traveling is fun, packing for the trip…not so much. It’s so hard to decide what to bring and then to make it all fit in a carry-on to avoid baggage charges?? Forget it. I don’t know about you, but I never skimp on beauty products or shoes so it’s generally the clothes that have to be carefully selected and reduced to make the bag close. I need help!
Here to help reduce the bulk of packing is a new collection of knits by Jones New York. Lloyd Boston, the Style Guy for JNY, says, “Knits are the secret to 9 to 5 dressing. Mix and match these must-haves to create layered looks without the bulk, travel like you packed a trunk but in a carry-on and show your curves without the cling!”
The head designer of this Knit Collection for JNY tells us, “The collection consists of clean layering pieces and simple bottoms that form the basis of the knit wardrobe. Then each month will deliver new patterned and novelty pieces that can be used interchangeably with the “foundation pieces”. Textured knit jackets, patterned jacquards, long statement cardigans and evolving seasonal pop colors allow you to continually build and update your Jones New York Knit wardrobe.”
The 8 Essential Pieces include: the cardigan, the pencil skirt, the mockneck, the a-line skirt, the classic shell, the skinny pant, the elbow sleeve cardigan and the wide leg pant.
For a weekend away that is jammed packed with casual fun and nice evenings out, these are the pieces I recommend packing from the 8 Essentials Pieces:
- The pencil skirt
- The Cardigan
- The skinny pants
Include these other items not found in the collection:
- a colorful blouse
- a basic, fitted tee
- 1 pair of heels
- 1 pair of flat boots
- shapewear
- statement making accessories
This combination of fabulous pieces will help you jet set in style and without the bulk.
The JNY Knit Collection will be available starting in Feb 2010 at jny.com and select Macy’s stores.
Prices range from the shells at $59 to pants and skirts at $99 and novelty pieces up to $139.
