They say packing light is the best way to travel but it’s tough to accomplish when you have so much to pick from. Here is a list of must have pieces and why you need them on your next vacation!
BLACK AND WHITE TOP
You can wear a colorful cardigan, colorful (budget friendly) jewelry, white denim, black skirt, endless possibilities! Think of this as a blank slate to style any way you choose.
Style Tip: Black and white pieces are good year round!
NATURAL COLORED BELT
Looks great over a black dress, floral loose fitting top, even over a skirt with a tucked in top and cardigan for work.
Style Tip: When shopping for a belt, take a top or dress with you that can be belted. Try a skinny belt, medium size belt, and thicker belt. Ask yourself, which you feel most comfortable wearing.
SOLID COLORED DRESS
The magic of this piece is you can wear it with wedges in the summer and boots in the fall. I know you want your money to stretch as far as possible.
Style Tip: Although this can be worn in Fall, make sure to inspect your pieces. If it looks tired and worn, don’t think twice about letting it go and finding a new dress.
CROSSBODY BAG
If you are going on a plane or to the park, you want to carry as little as possible. The best option is a crossbody bag that is small, a neutral color, and sits nicely against your body.
Style Tip: The point is to carry as little as possible, don’t overstuff!
BELTED UTILITY JACKET
You want a jacket that is lighter color than your black jacket! Look for light brown, beige, or gray. These pieces can be combined with all your colorful tops.
Style Tip: Don’t wear that boxy GAP jacket hanging in your closet from years ago. Find a new one that flatters your figure and updates your look this summer!
COMFORTABLE SANDALS
I love a sexy sandal but if you are going to be walking around and want an option other than your plastic flip flops, here it is!
COLORFUL JEWELRY
Sometimes you can find great jewelry for a good price at Chico’s. These earrings above are chunky and bold great with anything from a dress to jeans. You won’t want to take your favorite expensive pieces, so have fun with colored gems!
"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."
