Simple Questions - March 09, 2015

Critique my packing list! I'm moving from LA to DC next Sunday and have no idea what I'm doing re: move and coldness. Packing two suitcases with clothes to bring to last me from March until June (next time I'll get to be back home).

Most worried about:

  • Coats, how many do you need?
  • Shoes, do I need winter boots or can I just wear black leather boots around? I have black UGGS, should I pack them?
  • I don't want to overload on winter clothes since winter is on its way out, but I also don't want to freeze to death.
  • Any significant omissions? Anything that seems excessive?

Background: girl in her early 20s looking for an office-y job, so trying to achieve a 60/40 work/casual split, personal style is girly and preppy, so more casual workwear can do double-duty on weekends.
