I have 2 girls…I actually don’t think OP has too much, too little in my opinion. I think 2 dresses are not enough. My girls had over 10 dresses per season (they swapped out when they came home). They often had semi-dressed up events to go to on weekends (mixers, semi-formals). They had 20+ sweaters from cashmere to wool. They also had multiple winter coats (down, wool), rain coats, quilted spring/fall jackets, etc. 5 pair of shoes? Try 20+ for my kids - rain boots, winter boots (dressy and everyday, pumps, flats, sneakers, flip flops)

OP - what about other accessories (scarves, belts…)? You only going to bring one bag? How many do you use at home?

We double hung their closets and got under bed storage for sweaters and shirts.

D1 under packed freshman year. I had to drive up after few weeks to bring up additional stuff for her. They were her nicer bags and shoes. She was going to a lot of fraternity parties that required her to get dressed up. With D2, she just brought up everything she need for the fall and she swapped her clothes when she came home for her breaks.
