My big problem is that six to seven days means wearing each item, at least, 3 times. Sorry, in any warm climate - read vacations - that really stinks, in both senses of the word. Hotel laundries charge you an arm and a leg and not all hotels provide laundries. I like the advice: "buy anything you need." In this day and age, most of us are budgeting our trips carefully and buying additional clothes - especially expensive, dress-up clothes that we already own is not practical. Nor is it practical to need to go hunting for a laundromat in areas that are not, usually, residential. And what about all the extras??? For instance, nightwear, beachwear, sportswear, etc.

Sorry, this is one of those articles that look good until you try to implement it. But I would say that it is very good advice for business trips where your needs are known in advance and the type of clothing you need is fairly standardized.
