Warm-Weather Vacation Essentials

Now that it’s Spring and the winter days are almost behind us, it’s time to start planning on what to wear for your next warm-weather vacation. Weather your escaping the cold or are like me and live where it’s warm year round, I have a few tips on what exactly to wear on a sunny vacation.

Just got back from a quick day trip to Palm Beach to shoot some photos for a local magazine and now it has me wanting a fun vacation filled with beach trips and bike rides! It’s a two hour drive and I was legitimately craving to go back for a girls weekend trip. I think that would be the best trip for my 30th Birthday next month!

I love living in Florida because we jump from cool to warm days during the early Spring days. Going from jeans and sweaters to summer dresses is kind of my specialty. If you are lucky enough to be heading on a warm-weather getaway soon for Spring Break or planning a summer tip, these are a few coastal pieces I wear almost year round and pack on your next vacay!

Outfit Details

Dress / Statement Earrings / Castaner Espadrilles / Straw Bag

Been trying a new thing on here lately. Wearing my clothes that are “older” in the blogging world may be a faux pas but I can still provide great outfit inspiration. Maybe it’s not helpful or maybe it is. Since this dress is last season, I am going to show similar items throughout the post. If this isn’t something you like, let me know! Without further ado, here’s a very similar striped green dress for under $30!

Causal Sundresses

First up are sundresses! These are a must wear on a vacation! Mini, midi or maxi dresses are all great options! Personally, I usually always have a white dress (wore it a million times in Hawaii) and a more statement and colorful dress on hand to wear on trips. Have fun with your vacay style! Wear open back dresses, low cut or shows some skin! Your on vacation after all!

A Comfy Pair of Espadrilles

Okay, so I bought my favorite Castaner espadrilles when I was teaching. Even thought they were a bit of a splurge, their totally worth it. If you’ve exploring during the day or at the beach, wearing heels to dress up for dinner is the last thing I want to do. The answer?! These espadrilles! It may sound off but they are actually more comfortable than most of my flats!

Personally, I prefer the Castaner 60mm/2.5 inch wedge compared to the Soludos espadrille 3 in wedge. Castaner wedges are a little more pricey, which is the only downfall. I’d pay for shorter wedges any day! This summer, I want to buy an ivory pair to match with all my sundresses! If your looking for a budget friendly pair , I love these chambray ones for $26!

Everyday Straw Bags

If your traveling to someplace like Palm Beach, the Bahamas or a tropical beach resort spot, you will absolutely want to pack a straw bag or two! There are surprisingly very affordable options and will match with all of your vacay outfits. Even during the winter, if my straw bag matches with my outfit, I will still wear them!

Statement Earrings

Last on the list, statement earrings. I’ve talked about statement earrings a billion times on here before. They will completely transform any outfit. When you want to be lazy on vacation or throw on jeans and a tee, they will transform even the simplest outfit. There’s no hiding it, I love wearing them with dresses! When it’s hot out, you honestly want to dress cute with the least amount of layers.
