It’s officially feeling like summer and there’s only one thing I have on my mind: vacations. I’ve been lucky enough to visit so many different places this year and while I admit that it does get tiring, I tend to catch the travel bug when I’m at home for more than a month. If you have any trips planned for the season, I wanted to share some of my favorite outfits while traveling this year. Remember that vacations are a time to experiment with pieces you wouldn’t normally wear on a day-to-day basis, so expand your horizons with my summer vacation essentials.
