Summer Capsule Wardrobe/What to Pack for Summer Vacation on a Budget

Focusing on a neutral color palette with some coastal blue accents, I pulled together all the essentials for a lake/beach/resort getaway. Think soft shorts, a chambray blue skort (these are so “in” this summer!), wide leg linen pants (from one of my favorite brands) and must-have distressed denim in a relaxed fit.

For date nights and dinners, I found the cutest navy dress, as well as this on-trend puff-sleeve top. And don’t forget accessories; I think these handmade gold earrings look so expensive and elevate any look.

When you’re hitting the trails or hotel gym, pack some neutral tanks and performance shorts.

Time for the beach or pool? Toss on a cute one-piece swimsuit. An oversized cotton button-down doubles as a cover up. And a straw fedora is a must-have; you’ll love the texture it lends to any summer outfit.

I hope this capsule wardrobe inspires you to shop your closet and treat yourself to a new piece (or two!) before your next adventure.
