When it starts warming up dreaming of vacation almost becomes inescapable. Luckily, in early May I was able to bring the dream into fruition and took a much need escape to Miami. Soaking up the vibrancy of the city filled my soul and finally wearing pieces I’d been longing to debut was the cherry on top. If you missed the action on Instagram, follow along to stalk all the goods I wore on my trip to the 305. Everything from Free People to Rabens Saloner was on the style list. Along with 6 vacation outfits to try on your next trip!
SWIMWEAR : THE MONOKINI + BIKINI
Let’s face it if you don’t pack swimwear on vacation, then are you actually going on holiday? Swimwear is a top-five must-have, but not just any kind. I always think a simple but stunning monokini does the trick. It covers you up a little bit for those days when you don’t feel like bearing it all, but also keep you effortlessly stylish. It’s great that it can also double as a chic bodysuit that can be paired with jeans or trousers that can easily take you from the beach to dinner or lunch.
For the days when you’re feeling a little bit spicier, break out the bikini especially if you’re going to a sexy city like Miami. Wearing a flattering bikini is such a confidence boost. It also just makes it all real that you’re actually on vacation once you put one on. Get you one that fits you like a glove in a color that compliments your skin tone and you’re all good!
FUN SEPARATES: T-SHIRT + PRINTED SKIRT | HALTER SQUARE-NECK TOP + JEANS | MAUVE CROP TOP + ORANGE PANTS | SEASHELL DRESS
Mixing and match fun separates is what resort wear is all about. When it comes to styling your day-time looks especially don’t be afraid to bring out the color and eye-catching lines. Instead of a solid color skirt, try a print one like I did with my easy t-shirt + midi skirt look. This a cute going to breakfast look that can last the full day as well.
If you have a more dressed up day outfit, try a classic halter top with the square neckline that gives it a new twist pair with some mom jeans. This fit is perfect for grabbing lunch or a daytime party or event.
For a more relaxed feel slip into a cute crop top and baggy pants combo. This super comfy duo is perfect for long sightseeing days spent browsing through new neighborhoods or shopping. Not to mention the bright colors would perfectly compliment anywhere tropical!
DAY TO NIGHT ENSEMBLES: JUMPSUIT + SATIN PIECES
By now you’re probably on to my obsession with jumpsuits! But I adore them so much because they’re one of the most versatile pieces to own especially on vacation. This gem from Rabens Saloner (exact match) is the ideal day to night piece and I’m so in love. Wear it at the beach as a cover up by day and switch out your bikini underneath and add some heels for night time.
Another staple day to night pieces is satin tops and skirts. These vacay essentials would have any outfit looking chic in no time plus they’re super breezy for warm weather. For the ultimate day to night look pair both a silk cami and skirt (Similar) together to mock a satin slip dress. It’s going to give you that maxi dress look for day and a sleek chic look for the night.
ACCESSORIES FOR DAYS: VERSATILE SANDALS, EARRINGS, SUNGLASSES, + BEACH BAG
What’s an outfit without the perfect finishing touches. Especially on vacation, these pieces make every look come together. My top picks are a stunning pair of statement earrings, bold sunnies, versatile sandals, and a cute beach bag. The four accessories will take you an entire vacation no matter how long it is because they pair well with the rest of your vacation capsule wardrobe. Plus, they’re pretty practical so you’ll actually use these four on your trip which will help you kill all your vacay looks.
