The cheetah print mules are the only loud pair, and I could pair those with either the red Mistwood gown for a sexy-chic look, or add a pop of fun to a more basic dress like the crochet mini! Must-Have Vacation Beachwear I also packed four pairs of shoes with fairly neutral prints so that they would match multiple dresses and outfits. The activities you have planned will dictate which style of dress you should have more of, and even how many you pack! However, I erred on the side of bright, breezy prints (again, to keep these pieces as versatile as possible). I included some midis and wrap maxi dresses that are a little more elegant and formal. I could wear these poolside, out to lunch, walking around town, down to the beach and even dress them up for dinner. That’s because this is one of the most versatile styles of dress. Okay, lets talk strategy! You’ll notice most of these are breezy, lightweight minis. I’ll go over some of my reasons for the choices below, too, so you can see where my packing strategy took me!

Sometimes I catch some jokes about this from my boyfriend or friends, but I always include a backup staple from each category where I can. I’ll also take pictures on my phone of each combination so that I make sure everything winds up in my luggage, and I don’t stress over pulling out my wardrobe when I’m there. Then, I’ll choose pieces that can be reworn in another combination, and shoes and accessories that can go with multiple outfits. It seems like a no-brainer, right? It helps me to map out what we’ll be doing and the level of formality required for each. Before I do anything else, I go over the itinerary for the trip and grab must-have staples – like moisturizing products, sunscreen, and after-sun treatments! Plan Outfits Based On Activities.

In fact, I just returned from an amazing trip to Nassau (in the Bahamas)! I hope you’re keeping warm this wintry December! I know I sure have! ![]()
