On a beach vacation, rocking bright and colorful outfits by the pool or on the beach can elevate your vibe. Think vibrant shades like turquoise, coral, and pink. These colors not only look amazing; they can actually boost your mood and confidence. Wearing bright hues can make you feel happier and more energetic, helping you soak up all those positive beachy vibes. I like sporting a bright bikini, a floral maxi dress, or a colorful cover-up. These pieces add fun and flair to your look, making your vacation even more exciting. So, embrace those bold colors and let them brighten up your getaway! Have fun with it… why not?
One of my all-time favorite beach vacations was to St. John. It’s so remote, and the beaches are stunning. We love Maho Beach, and last year, we swam with sea turtles there. It was such an incredible experience that we even named our little golden retriever puppy Maho after the beach! The bright and colorful beachwear I brought really matched the vibrant, natural beauty of St. John.
Vacation Looks: Versatility

When it comes to packing for vacation, I’ve found that choosing versatile pieces is a total lifesaver. Not only does it give me more room in my suitcase, but it also gets me multiple outfits with fewer items. For example, this bright, colorful dress can be dressed up for a nice dinner or worn as a swim cover-up. I’ll admit, I’m a chronic over-packer—I love having options! But these versatile pieces help me feel more organized and prepared. Oh, and don’t forget to throw in a pair of hoop earrings– they seriously go with everything, and it’s a simple way to take any outfit to the next level.

This pink crochet dress is so comfy and still looks elevated! I think it is important to be comfortable, but I still like looking chic. So, this dress is the perfect balance and you can easily put on some wedge shoes and wear the dress to dinner. Throw on some flip-flops; these are the most comfortable pair I wear on every vacation!

As always, stay true to YOU! Be authentic and do what feels right for you, but spice it up as well.
