Puerto Rico is going to be really hot in August, so think light tees, tanks, skirts, and sandals. In addition to packing a few bathing suits, here are 3 affordable outfits that'll take you sightseeing, dining and clubbing in style!LOOK 1: TANK + DENIM PENCIL SKIRT + LEATHER FLIP FLOPS
A dark wash knee length denim pencil skirt is a cool alternative to jeans; wear it with just about anything for a day of shopping and sightseeing.
LOOK 2: SLOUCHY TEE + DENIM CUT OFFS + EMBELLISHED THONGS
A shade-making floppy hat, cross-body bag and jeweled sandals lend style to a basic t-shirt and jeans combo. Comfy, casual yet cute enough for the poolside bar.
LOOK 3: RUFFLE FRONT DRESS + GLADIATOR HEELS
A ruffle front dress in a pretty blue hue is subtly sexy (especially with a gorgeous tan). Add strappy heels and you'll be ready to hit the clubs.

I would recommend that if ttsmith is going to be in the capital San Juan, make note that the beautiful blue cobblestone can be difficult to walk on in heels!
So jealous! OMG have a blast!
Finally, don't forget the sunscreen (wear it, you WILL tan any way) and the mosquito repellent.
Ps. BB you hit it right on the money!
us Puerto Rican girls love to dress up...for everything!
All the outfits BB suggested are perfect!
It is really hot and the hummidity is insane! So aside from sunscreen, make sure to bring some good hair products...your hair will thank you!
i just picked up a miley cyrus/max azria pocket tee for five bucks at walmart, and i am so in love with the cut that i'm going back for more. and i NEVER buy multiples of stuff.
