I am a hand-baggage only person but I manage to jam more into my one 20" rollaboard than you do, clearly
I agree that this looks light on tops--I would have maybe 3 tank tops (since I wear a lot of sleeveless) and 3 t-shirts, matched with 3 bottoms total--one pair of light pants, one pair of shorts, one casual skirt or pair of capris. I also do a lot of sundresses so would throw in 2-3 of those too. They can be layered over or accessorized for nighttime.
I am on a weeklong trip in Singapore right now and packed six dresses, three tank tops, three t-shirts, a super-light sweater, a pair of shorts, two capris, two bathing suits, a beach cover-up, a pashmina, light tracksuit pants, two sleep shirts, four pairs of sandals
, and my running shoes plus two sets of workout gear into my 20-inch rollaboard. I have a tiny Kiplinger cross-body purse, that's it. Wore light pants and a LS shirt on the plane plus a slightly heavier cardigan, with my Ecco super-light sneakers. I also carry a child-size REI daypack with my toiletry and "cords-and-incidentals" bags, the iPad, and a lot of magazines. It all works and fits in the overhead. I could have brought less stuff and done more laundry, but I just don't feel like doing that on this trip.
