What to Pack: Tropical Getaway

Hey loves!
Tomorrow I am off to Jamaica and thought I would share with y’all what I pack for a tropical getaway!
I’ve broken it down into categories and at the end, I figure out what I will pack in my carry on. I hope this helps for any upcoming trips you may have.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section below and I will do my best to get back to you ASAP! Not sure, how the wifi will work at my resort yet.

First up: Maxi dresses. I love maxi dresses for so many reasons. I think they are easy to throw on and feel put together. You can dress them up or down, wear flats or wedges, and if you’re sunburned or just going to chow down on some great local food, flowy options are FABULOUS!!

Second: Cover-ups. There are so many great options out there. I did a whole post here on some of my favorites but here are a few more.

Third: Rompers. These are great because again, they are great to throw on and go, plus you don’t have to worry about all the things you do with a short dress. (Breezy nights and short dresses do NOT go well together girlfriend!)

Fourth: Swim Suits. (Obvi!) You really can’t go on a tropical or beach vacation without these. Again, I have a whole post on them already but here are a few more options.

Fifth: Miscellaneous. Here I have put some other things that could be helpful. I’m not a big shorts girl but do like to bring one or 2 outfits that include shorts. I also think it’s important to bring a couple workout clothing items. I know on this trip we will be hiking some waterfalls and it will be much easier to do that in Nike shorts and a tank than a dress or romper.

What’s in my carry-on: I like to be prepared so I pack a great deal of things in my carry-on. The main thing I put in here is anything valuable such as camera, laptop, jewelry, expensive sunglass, etc. Moreover, you don’t want your camera or laptop being thrown around in your big suitcase. I also pack all my makeup in my carry-on for that reason. A change of clothes and a swimsuit is another great thing to bring. Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen, but if they do loose your luggage at least you will have 1 backup outfit. I pack the swim suit because sometimes it can take a while for them to get your luggage to your room and this way you can check in and head straight to the swim up bar! Lastly, I don’t really put this in my carry-on exactly but if you are traveling with a hat, you should always wear it/carry it with you so it isn’t squished in your suitcase.
And the biggest key when going on a tropical getaway is using your beach/pool bag as your carry-on.













I think I have covered almost everything. If you want to look at more swim suits, cover-ups, beach bags, or sandals just click the one you want and it will take you to the post. And if you want to see updates of my Jamaica trip in real time follow me on instagram @thefashionablylateblonde
