How Many Jackets Should You Take for 3 Months Abroad?

In 4 short days, I will be waiting anxiously at Logan to fly to London. I've read the guide books, the travel sites, watched Anthony Bourdain traverse through London, and even watched a House Hunters International set in London. Hopefully, I am ready to take on this international city. The only thing left to do is pack.

Somehow this is harder than I imagined it would be. Whenever I packed for Emory, I brought everything I could think of, randomly threw it into boxes and suitcases, and shipped it to school. Now I think I have to be a little more conscientious with my packing and it it posing a problem. How do you fit three months of stuff into two tiny suitcases? The videos I watched on youtube were not very helpful. Their advice was to pack light. I don't know how to pack light, but if they have any advice on packing heavy I would appreciate that.

So now I'm trying to guess if 7 jackets, 8 pairs of jeans, and 3 pairs of boots is too many.
