M.Jonesy’s Friday Five – 5 Tropical Vacation Basics

School’s out for summer! Time to grab your passports and head to your nearest beach. Here are 5 summer vacation personal style must-haves to pack for your next vacation. They’re also perfect for the warm weather months ahead of us.

1) Florals prints are a major vacation must.

Check out these fancy florals in my previous blog post for inspo.

2) Feeling the 2-piece game lately.

The way I look at it, you get 3 outfits in 1.
– The full set: this delightful ensemble pictured below. ⠀
– The cropped top pictured with a pair of high waisted white jeans. ⠀
– The shorts with a tan or white bodysuit.

Then I revert back to my tricks of the trade of how to level up your style. Add an accessory (hat). Add a 3rd piece (maybe a jean jacket or white cardigan). Add a pop of color (hello yellow earrings).⠀

3) Colorful one-pieces swim suits are life!

Thanking the fashion Gods that one-pieces are back in full force. I’m resigned to the fact that I am not rocking a bikini bod. But that is a-ok because there are so many cute (and affordable!) one pieces out there.

4) Oh, hey fancy pants!

There’s lots of fun options for pants right now. Lots of brands are playing with patterns and fits. You know that I’m loving the wide legs. With summer here, look for lots of light weight flowy materials and remember to play with your proportions. Flowy pants call for a more fitted top.

5) A is for Accessories!

As you can see I’m OB.SESSED. with sunglasses. My favorite brands right now are DIFF and Quay. Protect your eyes from the sun with a pair of these. Fun earrings are a great way to give your outfits that pop also.

Bring on the sun and the sand! You’re ready rock the beach runway if you pack these summer fashion pieces. Make sure to hashtag #StyledbyMJonesy if you used any of these summer style tips!
