Merona Silver Filigree Pearl Drop Chandelier Earrings, $7.99, www.target.com Tired of being the only one at the airport who can’t lift their own suitcase? Wonder why you still can’t find anything to wear while on holiday even though you packed half your wardrobe? Make things easier on yourself and only take essential items that you can mix and match to create infinite looks. For my long weekend trip to Miami I plan on taking items similar to the ones posted above for easy, breezy summer days. See below for four ways to put them together.
Look summertime chic while shopping. Just don’t buy too much or you won’t be able to carry it home.
Do lunch in this cute ensemble, then head back to the beach for more fun.
Wear to a barbecue on the beach. The look is stylish without trying too hard.
Whether its volleyball on the beach or a stroll along the shore, this look has you covered.
nice emsemble..as always

ReplyDeleteto anonymous: I just wanted to say a) don't feel down on your weight and b) I am not sure but I would check out Torrid's for plus size swimsuits, or if you have never been there look into clothes there, too. They have the cutest up to date styles so you can be in fashion no matter what your size.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Sylvia, love ur blog! Thanks for the great tips, because I know that I am an extreme overpacker because I want my whole wardrobe for a 2 day trip! Thank you!
Thanks McKayla, I'm like you too I pack half my wardrobe for one weekend!
ReplyDeleteLadies try the "Plus size sites" category in the left tool bar for online sites that carry cute swimsuits. I'll try and do a post soon :)
Where can I found a cute sarong or kaftan at a reasonable price?
ReplyDeleteJunonia.com also sells sportswear, including swimsuits, for the larger ladies. Land's End, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this site! You give me so many great ideas :)
ReplyDeleteSo that is the way to pack, I will use this as a manual for any holidays I take in the future. I love the polka dot sun dress.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!!!
