If you are or have gone away for 14-15 days..
How much did you pack? I don't want to go crazy over packing but don't want to under pack either. TY!

Re: If you are or have gone away for 14-15 days..
I pack almost double the amount of underwear needed (depending on where you're going - if it's hot, how often you'll shower in the day, etc) - but I'm kooky like that 
I would pack by outfit and not just throw things in there. I tend to pack more tops than bottoms. I also try to keep to the same color scheme so that I'm not packing 4 pairs of shoes.
I always where the same outfit there and back - some random, comfy, travel outfit (so that knocks off two days).

When we went away for the HM for 16 days I packed a lot, but used a lot of it. We also we in a few different climates so it was difficult to pack lightly. Halfway through we did laundry so we had enough to last us. You should be able to do laundry wherever you go so that might be your best option to cut back.

Re: If you are or have gone away for 14-15 days..
how much space do you have?
i did a trip a few years ago around eastern europe for 14 days. i had a backpack and i didnt do laundry anytime during the trip. i packed enough underwear and t-shirts for the whole time. i brought a jacket and 3 sweaters. i had two pairs of pants and shoes. i was really sick of my clothes by the time i arrived home in germany.

Re: If you are or have gone away for 14-15 days..
My DH is an awesome packer. He can fit 3 weeks in 1 suitcase (sometimes even just a carry-on).
Me...I need one large suitcase just for my shoes. 
For 2 weeks, I'd probably have a large garment bag, large rolling suitcase and 1 carry-on. But I'm one of those "just in case" girls. And more often than not, I end up wearing the same clothes over and over and never touch 80% of the other items I brought with me.
