Have you ever felt so lost because you did not know what you were going to wear and literally stared into your closet for fifteen minutes?

 

I know the exact feeling, so allow me to help you and give you some tips on what to bring to look stylish while traveling.

 

First things first, every girl needs to bring something comfortable. When you are taking pictures, sight-seeing, or window shopping, it’s important to be comfortable. Remember, you’re on vacation!  Bring that cute hat, some simple tees, jeans, comfortable walking shoes, booties, flannel shirt, and a cute skirt.

 

I am wearing a straw hat that I purchased at the cruise ship at the $10.00 Store, Forever 21 denim jeans and blue blazer, gray high top converse and the “Flawless” tee from Out Of My Kloset Boutique.  My sister Lindsay is wearing a dusty pink pencil skirt and flannel shirt both from Forever 21 with the Wet Seal tan booties.

Bring on the shorts, tanks tops and duster cardigans. Imagine wearing a dramatic duster cardigan while walking by the beach…now that’s relaxation at its best.  I am wearing an ivory sleeveless duster from Out Of My Kloset Boutique, nude tank top from Wet Seal, vintage shorts, and paired with some fringe booties.  My sister is wearing an embroidered duster also from Out Of My Kloset Boutique, black Forever 21 tank top and shorts, with the tan Wet Seal booties.

Now remember you are traveling, but it’s time to spice things up so bring that elegant cocktail dress for dancing, formal dinners, or just to look “HOT” while walking through those exotic locations.  I am wearing a red pleated dress from Love Culture and gold Qupid shoes perfect for salsa dancing.  The second look is a high-low zebra Kardashian Kollection dress and black lace Christian Louboutin shoes. Why not add those red bottoms to any formal look and feel like a million bucks, am I right?

Last look, when you do not feel like wearing a dress to a formal event. Bring a colorful jumpsuit or a trendy wide leg pant with sexy crop top. The first look is a dusty pink zebra wide leg from Out Of My Kloset, black unlabeled crop top with rose gold sandals from Rue 21.  The last look is Sugar Lips “Bird of a Feather” jumpsuit from Pull My Daisy Boutique and once again paired with my Rue 21 sandals.

About Patricia from Blue Lilly Pad

I was born and raised in the beautiful beaches of Monterey Peninsula and am currently residing in Southern California. During the day I work as a career counselor/young adult advocate for an awesome non-profit company where I help young adults meet their educational goals and connect them to a variety of job opportunities in the IE.

I grew up with a very mature palette, being able to cook delicious somethings out of nothing, and vegetarian at that! On top of that I was always very adventurous with my fashion.  Being able to travel to Italy in high school helped broaden my fashion senses. My seven favorite fashion essentials are prints, studs, neutrals, denim, leather, florals and lace. My hope is to be able to bring you food ideas and fashion tips to try out, and please feel free to share your ideas. Please contact me at bluelillypad7@gmail.com

Blue Lilly Pad Blog is a journey into my three loves: fashion, vegetarian cuisine and letters to encourage you! All three of my gifts and passion all collaborated in one.

“Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” Romans 12:9

Which look would you love to wear while traveling? I would love to know what you would wear or have worn!
