I don’t know about you, but I miss vacation so much! I miss the sun. I miss the beach. I miss the feeling of just being able to relax and escape. And right now I want nothing more than a week-long vacay somewhere (on a beach, preferably) while sipping many margaritas. I am a sun babe by nature and will take any chance I can get to soak up some rays.

Vacation Dreamin’: A Travel Capsule Wardrobe For The Beach

For the past few years, my bestie and I have been planning a huge girls trip so we could do just that — sit on a beach drinking margs with our gal pals while celebrating our 30th’s! We are keeping our fingers crossed that our Dirty Thirty in the DR will still happen in May, but if not, any beach will do. Heck, a kiddie pool in a warm climate will do at this point…

This capsule wardrobe is the ultimate dream for what I would wear on a beach vacay. It’s a little bit sexy, a little bit sophisticated, and all I will be dreaming about wearing for the next few months! BONUS: many of these picks are sustainable** and/or offered in plus-sizes.

1 | 2a / 2b | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20

1 | Good American Show Off One-Piece Swimsuit

If there ever were a sexy LBS (little black swimsuit) it would be this. Seriously, the detailing of the lined bra and the belt adds that extra sleek vibe and looks like such a well-structured suit! sizes 0 (US 00) – 7 (US 26) available.

2a/2b | Malia Mills Charlize Matte Swim Top & Calendar Girls Bottom

Gosh, this swimsuit is gorgeous too! This suit is a designer suit and is a pretty penny but a girl can dream right?! I personally love the triangle cut out of the top and the calendar girl bottom creates a cute pinup girl look.

---

3 | Good American Hot One-Shoulder One-Piece Swimsuit

Good American is just giving me all the vibes for my dream vacation capsule! I am not usually one for pattern, but this one-shoulder suit is stunning.

---

4 | Clare V. Ciao Tote Bag

Clare V. has done it again, y’all! Seriously how cute is this bag?! I love the hatched straw material and the vibrant red “Ciao” logo is so fun!

5 | Havianas You Saint Tropez Sandal

I have owned several pairs of Havianas over the years and have always been a fan of the quality. This recent pair from Havianas is so cute. I love the elevated look. These feel more sophisticated than your typical flip flop and come in several gorgeous patterns.

6 | Béis 21-Inch Rolling Spinner Suitcase

This suitcase is simply sexy. It comes in a beautiful beige color and a classic black as well. It’s designed for optimal travel and has 360 degree wheels that allow for an easy glide down the tarmac.

7 | Reformation Jax Dress**

The majority of my favorite dresses and date night pieces are all from Reformation. Their current collection is so gorgeous! The slit, the button detailing, the straps on the back… I love it all!

---

8 | Reformation Teddy Top**

I love all the silky camis that S and the rest of the team wear, and I have some major FOMO because the beloved TME brand choice isn’t available in plus. But this cami from Reformation is and looks so elegant!

---

9 | Reformation Zoe Skirt**

This skirt is such a fun citrus green color and the smaller white polka dots look so cute for a daytime beach look. This piece would also transition well into spring and summertime wear.

---

10 | Good American After Dip Robe

I am in love with olive green lately, and I am obsessed with the look of this swim coverup. Let’s be real, this looks like something you could wear to dinner as well with some cute gold jewelry.

11 | Free People Shady Character Packable Wide Brim Hat

I have yet to find a hat that works for all of the hair that I have. But I love that this wide-brim hat is packable. I might have to order it and give it a try!

12 | 8 Other Reasons Layered Chain Necklace

I personally love the layered necklace look. This one is priced very well for a three-in-one necklace.

13 | OXB Sweatproof Chain Earrings

OXB is a Denver-based company that designs sweat-proof jewelry, which means you can wear it in the water! They have such cute jewelry that’s both timeless and trendy.

14 | Luvememore River Suit Set

I am a sucker for a good set and a crop top! This set is cropped and the tropical pattern speaks beach to me.

15 | Good American Goddess Robe

I am learning that I have a thing for luxe robes. This Good American robe looks like you could wear it both after a swim and for a date night out.

---

16 | Luvememore Cindy Two Piece Set

This red, two-piece set makes me want to go salsa dancing all night long!

---

17 | Good American Drapey Trouser Shorts

I love these flowy high-waisted shorts. They look both luxe and comfortable.

---

18 | Socialite Curve Cowl Neck Knit Camisole

I think this drapey cami would look cute with the GA shorts above to make for a cute romper look.

19 | BCBGMAXAZRIA Kayla Woven Slide Sandal

I haven’t worn heels in forever! I love the pattern and slight puff material of these. Gahh! So cute! The dark teal color is one of my favorites right now!
