I have the best intentions when it comes to packing for a trip. I often promise myself, “I will only pack the things I need.” I aim for a carry-on sized suitcase. Then after a few hours of packing, I compromise to a medium-sized suitcase.
The next day, I walk into the airport with my biggest suitcase plus a carry-on.
Oh boy, I didn’t fulfill on my intention again!
But I quickly learned this does not have to be the case, thanks to this blog post. I gathered 12 different pieces around Wildflower and created 15 outfits that can take you from day to night for a relaxing beach vacation.
As you can see from the photo above, the 12 pieces are perfect for a carry-on sized suitcase. The accessories are also very light and easy to pack. Throw in a couple pairs of shoes and you are ready to enjoy your beach vacation!
The key is to really play around with layering. Don’t be afraid to get a little creative. Throw on a sweater over a dress and belt it to create a skirt, or use a scarf as a shawl. There are so many possibilities, but here are 15 of our favorites!
