Like I said in my last post, over spring break I am going to Florida. I couldn't be more excited. I leave today at 2:00 and in less than 24 hours I will be on the beach! Today I wanted to show you my tips on packing and what I am taking to Florida. Don't get me wrong I am no expert on packing but I am learning as the years go by.
On this trip for my luggage, I am using my new Vera Bradley duffel. I got it for my birthday and I can't wait to use it. When I was packing I felt like it was a bottomless pit. I will of course, be carrying my new purse on board as well as a water bottle, some magazines and my ipod.
To start off with, I am taking two light jackets. One is a kimono which is perfect for a little more warmth at night on the beach. And I am also taking a classic cardigan which I made sure went with every outfit. It's wise to not take an item that only goes with one outfit. You should take multi purpose items.
These are all the bottoms that I will be taking. One pair of bright shoes, pattern, and jean shorts. And it's always wise to bring one pair of pants just in case. I decided to not take any skirts this trip just because I don't think I will wear any of them and my friend Alycia who is going on the trip as well, said she is bringing some that I can borrow. If you are going on a trip with you sister or friend then you guys can coordinate what to bring so you can share clothing. Its the best way to vaca.
Here are all the dresses I am bringing. Two are basically swimsuit cover ups and the red is for church and the striped maxi is for if we go out to dinner. I love wearing dresses in summer cause they are super comfy and cool in the hot sun.
These are the t-shirts that I am taking. One neutral sold, a graphic and a pattern. Two of these shirts are from Gap and I think that they have the best t-shirts. They fit perfectly and are super soft.
Here are the nicer shirts that I am wearing. I realize there is a lot of white but those are my favorite types of shirts. I have two white flowy shirts, a bright orange one, and then a lace one for over swimsuits.
These are the swim suits that I will be taking. I love my high waisted bottoms and I have a few tops that I can wear with them. Then, I have my polka dot tankini and bottoms from Target. If you don' have a swimsuit yet I would suggest looking at Target they have a really good selection. I would also suggest that when going on trips you take more than one swimsuit.
The shoes I am taking are two pairs of sandals and my leopard loafers. You should always take shoes that you can walk around in and always have some closed toed shoes in case you go somewhere really nice.
And lastly these are the accessories I am taking (obviously I am taking some jewelry but I didn't take a picture of that, whoops). First, I have my classic black shades, my Polaroid I got for my birthday,(if you don't have one of these yet then you need to go get one). My beach towel, a spring scarf, my bag and my sun hat. I added a ribbon to my sun hat to make it look more girly but I did that after I took these pictures.
I hope that you liked my little tips and tricks to packing. I know there weren't many but I would also say that when you pack after you are all done go through and take out about half of what you have. Unless you under pack then you should probably add more. I hope you have a wonderful spring break whatever you are doing!!
