Pack Jewelry Yes or No?

2 pounds of jewelry i thought was a great idea to bring along...NOT

Jewelry is always a tough one to decide on when vacationing especially for the fashionistas out there. I thought that I would for surely wear all of the jewels in the picture above because i'm big on my accessories back home, but i was wrong-o. I think i wore maybe 2 of the 7 necklaces i packed and zero of the bracelets and rings...yikes that equals lots of wasted space and weight.

We would suggest to you to bring with 2 necklaces that are versatile and maybe a bracelet and a ring if you have to. For our trip especially (being 5 weeks in length) we were moving all the time and getting up very early to fit everything in, therefore jewelry wasn't really on our minds. Instead of bringing all the jewels you have, we suggest a variety of scarves and jackets. After all, that's what shows in most of your pictures anyways!

If you do decide to bring a bundle of jewels for trips longer in length a small clear tackle box shown in the picture is a great investment. They maybe cost a whole 3 dollars at Walmart and pack things in very neatly for you. Even though we love em', we say to say bye bye to the jewels!

Plus, we ended up buying European jewels while overseas to add to our collections anyways! That means more weight to carry around.
