If you’re competing on The Bachelor, there are a few staples you must have in your suitcase: fancy shoes, fancy rose ceremony outfits, fancy jewlery—just, ya know, a lot of fancy things. You’ll have to pack 500 bathing suits in case a trip to Hawaii is sprung on you at the last minute, but then you also better pack 19,000 parkas, because a trip to Alaska is just as likely. And if you have any extra room, pack a few mementos from home. You can’t use your phone while filming, so you’ll need photos of your dog to stay sane through all the pointless fights people will have in the house.

One contestant on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor, however, is thinking outside the box in terms of what she’s packing for the show. Meet Caelynn, who’s already one of my favorite contestants this season because she brought a literal sash with her to meet Colton. Yes, a sash—as in a pageant sash. As in a glittery piece of fabric you drape around your shoulder to show how iconic you are. Caelynn has a reason for bringing this sash, though: She’s Miss North Carolina and is planning to wear it during her limousine exit in the first episode.

However, this shouldn’t stop any of us mere mortals from wearing a sash whenever we damn well please. Catch me from now until the end of the year wearing a sash for the most mundane tasks—going to the grocery store, paying my taxes, riding the subway, etc. etc. I’m a queen and the world should know it! Caelynn’s going into this season of The Bachelor with that energy, and we all should take note.

Above, check out the other items Caelynn and a few more contestants on this season of The Bachelor brought for their televised journeys.

The Bachelor premieres tonight (January 7) at 8 P.M. ET on ABC.
