The Perfect Travel Gear
Travel Outfit
If you’re looking for the perfect travel outfit for any adventure, check these out! If traveling during the summer months, I highly recommend wearing a Black skort with a White V-Neck T-Shirt, Black Zipper jacket, and a pair of black sneakers, such as these black Nike Zoom Pegasus Sneakers. They are not only great to travel in, they are also perfect for a brisk walk on the beach.
When temperatures are cool, you may find it more comfortable to wear a pair of black track pants to travel in, instead of the black skort.
The Perfect Purse & Tote for Travel
If looking modern and traveling light is important to you, you need to consider this Teddy Blake crossbody purse! It is the perfect, high quality neutral-colored crossbody purse for elevating your outfits and looking fashionable. It is lightweight, stylish and will complement anything you wear all season long.
Another great piece for traveling is this light-weight raffia tote. It has fabulous texture and style. Use it when traveling to carry all your travel documents, snacks and reading material. It’s also large enough to slip your purse into so you don’t have to bother with looking after two bags.
Khaki Skort Outfits
Feminine and stylish, having a khaki cargo skort for summer is a great option. Not just for travel, but all season long. It’s versatile and is a fabulous foundation piece for building so many fashionable outfits throughout the season.
As an example, wear your khaki skort with a white V-Neck T-Shirt and a Lululemon black zipper jacket for a sporty look, or slip on a black unstructured blazer for an elevated outfit.
White Shorts Outfits
Always fresh and lovely, slipping on a pair of white Bermuda shorts, as the foundation of a summer outfit offers an element of polish and sophistication.
Pair them with white Adidas sneakers and a Blue Denim Jacket for a casual look, or slip on nude sandals and a silk white swing cardigan to take it up a notch. Both look effortless and very chic.
Denim Shorts Outfits
For the modern women, denim button-fly Bermuda Shorts are a must have! However, if you’re not a lover of shorts, a fabulous substitution is a denim pencil skirt, either offers a bit of edgyness without looking too try-hard. Pair them with a black unstructured blazer and black turtleneck sleeveless top to look in vogue.
White Jeans Outfits
One of my absolute favs for spring and summer is white jeans! Slipping on a pair of well-fitting white tapered jeans with a long sleeve blue & white stripe linen shirt tied at the waist, a pair of white leather Adidas sneakers and a modern-looking crossbody bag such as this Teddy Blake Stella Vitello – 9″ Purse is just amazing. So fashionable and effortless.
Black Jeans Outfits
A staple throughout the year, black tapered jeans are a must-have piece in your wardrobe. Fabulous with a white Blouse with lace detail and blazer for a polished look, or paired with a sailboat graphic tee and sneakers for heading out for a day of sightseeing. So many brilliant looks, so little time.
Dress Outfits
Packing a versatile dress when you go on vacation is always a good idea. I especially love this pink tank dress because you can wear it both casually, with a pair of sneakers and a white swing sweater tied a the waist or smarter with a pair of nude strappy sandals and jacket, plus tons of other combinations!

Summer Vacation Shoes & Sandals
If you have seen my video and blog post about essential shoes for summer, it will not surprise you to see that this list of summer capsule wardrobe shoes is about the same. The shoes I have listed here are not overly exciting, but they will stylishly get you where you need to go if you want to pack light!
Jewelry Travel Capsule
Having the right pieces of jewelry with you on vacation makes getting ready quick and easy. Pearl stud earrings are my regular go-tos. They are the perfect timeless piece of jewelry that goes with everything, and a classic staple.
Additionally, having a few more basic pieces of jewelry on-hand such as an omega gold/silver reversible necklace, an omega gold bracelet, or a silver mesh bracelet, plus both chunky gold and earrings, provides the collection of pieces you need to pull together outfits that have the polish you desire.
