It’s official; summer is here! The only thing on my mind is lounging by the beach sippin’ margaritas! So we’re off to Cabo to spend Memorial Day weekend. I think one of my favorite parts of travelling (besides not working, seeing new places, spending quality time with my fam, etc.) is choosing my outfits! And if there’s one thing that’s important in my vacation wardrobe it’s versatility.  I like to choose beach outfits and pieces I love and create multiple outfits around them. Not to mention, this makes packing a breeze and keeps my suitcase light. Ahead, see my top favorite picks for that picture-perfect summer vacation. 

Shorts

Jean shorts look great matched with both dressy and casual tops! I love the versatility and comfort. They’re perfect for strolling through an outdoor market or spending hours getting lost in an unknown place.

Rompers

Rompers are fashion’s solution to easy, breezy summer dressing. This simple piece that can be worn with sneakers for day sightseeing and wandering. Layers are essential to any travel wardrobe and a jean jacket is perfect for cooler days. Transition the look for a candlelit dinner by swapping a the sneakers with heels and accessories. And voila!

Dress

A fun dress that can also be dressed up or down depending on the occasion! Wear it over a swimsuit as you make your way to the pool. For a trendy and effortless look, throw on some heels and a chunky necklace!

Accessories make or break the outfit in my opinion so I always over-pack in this department since they don’t take up much room in the suitcase. And a beach getaway is never complete without hats. This fashionably functional accessory (sun protection!) adds so much to an outfit. I usually take several as well since I can easily stack them in the suitcase.
