What happened when the unexpected happens, like your colleague knocking over his coffee cup and it ending up in your lap?
When I have to pack the bare minimum, usually because I'm on Amtrak and will be carrying/rolling the bag long distances, I always include the outfits for the schedule + 1 "just in case" extra.
Also, only 2 bras for a month wouldn't work for me. Mine are hand wash, air dry, so sending them out for laundering them isn't a problem, but they do need at least 24 hours to air dry, especially the all cotton ones.
