What I’m Packing

Feeling a bit motivated today!  Up early, worked out , showered and got to the grocery store and laundry done all before preschool pick up.  Believe me, this doesn’t happen often, but I am feeling extra motivated these days with a vacation on the books!!! This body needs some work!  Anyone going away for spring break or soon after!??  I have started to line up the items to bring along.  If I start now, I can space it out a bit.  Right? Or maybe ill end up packing 35 outfits instead 7!  Guilty.

Options are good!  The best part of going somewhere warm is you can pack and over pack because most things are smaller and lighter weight making more room in that luggage for extras!  Lately, I try to stick to a color theme when I pack.  Keep it all in the same pallet avoids any and all added extras.  It really works!!!  Stick to neutrals and essentials and accent with one or two colors at most depending on the length of your trip.  Pretty easy for me since I’m a neutral gal to begin with.   The bathing suit game is just a mess for me!  I feel like I could use a one piece , but still appreciate a sun kissed tummy even after two kids!  Who doesn’t ?

Today I’m sharing what I’m packing.  For now!  It will likely double by the time I leave, but I feel like I needed to get some gear in the works.  Feel like my summer wardrobe needs a major over haul.  And I mean MAJOR.  Here’s what I’m packing so far…

*Thankful for my sis in law, this one piece is packed!  True to size.

*This cover up, sooo cute and for the price who wouldn’t want it.  3 color choices.  (I got green! shocking I know! Thanks Jen.)    Yonala Summer Womens Beach Wear Cover up Swimwear Beachwear Bikini,One Size,Green  

*Shift dress, always an essential.  You can dress this up or down!  So flattering.  True to size, if in between, size down.  Super flattering and a great price. Can also be worn as a cover up.   

*Shoes, Sale Alert. TOMS Majorca Peep Toe Bootie by Toms (love these!!!)

*Mineral Tinted Creme SPF 30 Broad Spectrum UVA-UVB Sunscreen by DERMSTORE
