Spring Vacation Wardrobe: My Must-Have Pieces

A couple weeks ago I had the rare opportunity to go shopping sans baby.  Mamas out there, do you remember those days?  I have a bunch of spring and summer events coming up and wanted to refresh my closet.  Between a 6-hour road trip, a wedding to attend, wine tasting excursions and a Maui trip, comfortable, feminine pieces were my goals.

Joie is a go-to vacation brand for me because their pieces are effortless and feminine.  You can easily mix and match their separates to go from daytime activities to nighttime events.  The fact that everything they make is super comfortable and chic means it’s the perfect brand for traveling.

I spent a ton of time in the dressing room at their Fashion Valley store picking out my ideal vacation wardrobe.  Oh, how I miss being able to do this on the regular – hah!  If you want to see what I tried on, check out my Instagram Stories highlight of the excursion.  They have so many great pieces if you’re in need of a spring wardrobe refresh!

Paper bag waist shorts are everywhere right now and I believe this is a trend worth investing in because it’s so flattering on every body type.  If you are pear shaped, they accentuate your waist while minimizing your hips.  Apple shaped ladies get some definition between top and bottom from the tied waistline, and athletic bodies benefit from insta-curves thanks to the cinched belt.

These shorts come in black, green, and white, run TTS and are made of the fabric of spring/summer – linen.  Breathable and easily packable, they’ll be great for hot Maui days.  Linen is such an elegant fabric – you can truly dress it up or down –  so I paired it with this peasant top.  A Joie signature, the billowing sleeves and delicate embroidery give it a 70s vibe that is still very contemporary.

Footwear is probably the most important part of a successful vacation wardrobe and Joie has tons of comfortable options.  I’m so happy platforms are back, because these espadrille sneakers give me added height without sacrificing comfort.  Even though they’re leather, they give off more of a casual vibe and I wanted something a little dressier for nighttime.

Just because a sandal doesn’t have a heel, doesn’t mean it’s not dressy.  The leather on these slides are like butter, and the gold hardware on the sole give them something a little extra.  I swapped out my earrings and threw on my favorite diva sunglasses to transform my look into a dressier option for evening.

What comprises your ideal spring/summer wardrobe?  What styling questions do you have?  Hit me up in the comments with any questions!
