Packing for a 48-hour work trip to Cabo had me staring into my carry-on like it was a crystal ball. Was I about to emerge as a breezy, lace-draped romantic or the sleek, minimalist getaway girl with a line-up full of neutrals and black one-pieces? One part of me wanted to pack this va-va-voom cut-out crochet dress (below) but then the other craved simplicity (head-to-toe Cos). Plot twist: I packed both “girls.” Proof? The multiple bags I lugged on to the plane–a mix of Chloe rattan, rope-trimmed Alemais, quirky Prada prints, and basic Madewell. My footwear followed suit: modern blue J.Crew jellies, plus ecru Rails jeans and noise-canceling Bose headphones for one personality, bohemian Beek toe-ring sandals (last pic) for the other. I also packed this, this, this, this and this. (Far too much but both girls love options!) Thankfully, my lip gloss had no identity crisis. YSE Beauty’s new lip glosses have a shade for every alter ego—whether I’m keeping it subtle in a barely-there nude or going full heatwave with a berry-hot moment. Took them both out last night! Style conflicted? Maybe. But at least my lips are consistent.
