Fashion
You want to bring over items that can be thrown on quickly. Chances are your boo doesn't possess your awesome organizational skills so at the risk of being late for class looking around for things, make sure you have pieces you can pull on and go. Also, try to avoid items that require an iron. On the off chance that he actually possesses one, it's always easier to not have to rely on it. Great pieces include:
- Leggings
- Sweatshirts
- Slip-on flats
- Cardigan (or other wrinkle-free outerwear of choice)
- Comfy jeans
Beauty
To me, this category is much more important than the clothes you bring over. I mean if comes to it you can always throw on a pair of jeans and one of his T-shirts, but you definitely can't use his deodorant! So, anything that is gender specific in terms of fragrance, make sure you account for that. Also, if you have a specific skincare or hair regimen, don't break it! As difficult as it can be sometimes to stick with it, your skin and hair will thank you. Your boyfriend's medicine cabinet may not, however. Here are a few things I always remember:
- Face cleanser
- Shower gel
- Body cream
- Deodorant
- Contacts (kind of obvious)
- Hair products (account for anything you use while you sleep)
You may look like a bag lady making your way to his place but hey, at least you'll be a well-prepared bag lady!
