The Only 10 Pieces You Need for a Resort Wear Capsule

-

 Every time I pack for a beach trip, I swear I’m going to “pack light.” And then suddenly I’ve got three dresses I don’t even wear and a suitcase that barely closes. 🙈 That’s why I finally gave myself a rule: stick to a resort capsule wardrobe. Just a handful of mix-and-match pieces that make getting dressed simple and—bonus—leave space in my bag for souvenirs.

The Only 10 Pieces You Need for a Resort Wear Capsule

Here’s what I’ve learned you actually need (and nothing more):

1. A breezy white dress
If I could only bring one thing, this would be it. It works as a swimsuit cover-up in the morning and somehow looks totally dressed up with earrings at night.

2. Wide-leg linen pants
Honestly, these are a lifesaver in hot weather. Comfy like pajamas but you look instantly chic. I usually wear mine with a tank or even just toss them over a bikini.

3. One swimsuit you love
Forget packing five options. Bring the one that makes you feel amazing—whether that’s a bold print, a cutout, or a classic one-piece. Confidence beats variety here.

4. A lightweight kimono or cover-up
This is that throw-on-and-go piece. Pool, beach, lunch, even dinner with sandals—it just works.

5. A big sun hat
Practical and cute. Plus, I won’t lie… it makes photos look so much more glamorous.

6. Neutral sandals
Pick one pair you can walk in and also wear out to dinner. I always go with tan because it matches literally everything.

7. A maxi dress for evenings
There’s always that one night where you want to feel a little dressed up. A flowy maxi solves it instantly.

8. A woven tote
Mine doubles as my beach bag and my carry-on. Holds sunscreen, snacks, a book… all the essentials.

9. Statement earrings
Even the simplest outfit feels pulled together if you add a fun pair of earrings. Honestly, they take zero space in your bag but make a big difference.

10. A light scarf or wrap
This one surprised me at first, but I use it constantly. On the plane, as a sarong, or when the evening breeze gets chilly.

Why This Works

With just these 10 things, I can create tons of outfits without overpacking. More importantly, I actually wear everything I bring. No more dragging home dresses that never left the suitcase.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...

10 Styling Rules That Changed How I Dress (And Feel) Let me be honest—there was a time when I thought fashion was just about copying the latest trends.
