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
