I never imagined how emotionally attached I'd get to clothes. I have two suitcases packed and ready to go. But still feel like I need a third. I have sent 10 bags of clothes to Good Will. So I am being selective. But I don't feel like I packed warm things or some practical things (like sneakers). I packed enough pants for 5 days of work and a few pairs of jeans for the rest of life. Other than that I said my goodbyes to my favorite summer skirts and other favorite outfits.

I am taking two different airlines and the total cost for one extra bag will be $200. That extra luggage will make a difference in packing a few extra warm sweaters and a pair of sneakers and a few odds and ends like maybe a towel and bed linens. Do people think it's worth it. Or are clothes and linens relatively inexpensive? I did not pack a winter jacket. My friend made the point that a winter jacket alone could run more than $150.

What are peoples thoughts?
