Honestly speaking, I love that there is still a part of the world where styles made famous in the 1950's and 60's still are still considered "wardrobe staples" Classic cuts, Lilly-esque prints, tortoise shell - they're all favorite words in my fashion vocabulary. Packing for Palm Beach however, isn't a "throw a few things in a bag" kind of event. It's considered a high-season/low-season locale, and generally speaking, that means 2-3 outfits a day. Here's a couple fool-proof tips to pack light, and right:
Start with the staples:
2: 2-3 pairs of versatile footwear, I love these
nude wedges [only $29!] that will match anything, and a pair of
fun loafers to go with more casual outfits.
4: 1 or 2
swimsuits that are the cut you like, but still provide a little coverage - PB isn't Miami.
5: Pool/ Beach reading materials. I always protect my electronics,
this ipad case is my favorite yet. I can't wait to start "The Martha Rules"!
Clothing:
1. A pool/beach outfit. I love love love
linen or crepe pants. They're so lightweight but will keep you warm when the sun starts to set.
2. A midday outfit. If you're grabbing lunch, doing a little shopping, etc, Throw on some fun colored
skinny jeans, and a soft white t-shirt.
3. Evening outfit.
A dress, some printed pants/silk shirt - whatever your flavor.
Accessorize:
1.This "
circle scarf" is an absolute must for me. You style it so many ways, and I love to wrap up in it when the weather cools down at night.
2. Organic
sunscreen and
lipbalm. I'm not looking for extra wrinkles, you probably aren't either.
4. A fun belt can add a little pop of color to any outfit
5.
Nail polish is just fun when you're on vacation, right?
