Packing Tips for Fashion Girls: Look Fabulous on Vacation
Going on vacation is an exciting time for any fashion girl. But there’s always the dilemma of packing for an extended amount of time. Honestly, it can become overwhelming and the thought of going through airport security’s mentally exhausting.
We shouldn’t let that distract us from looking fabulous and having a good time. To help us get motivated I want to share a few quick packing tips:
1. Always pack a variety of summer dresses – whether it’s a maxi or shift dress. Packing a dress makes room in your duffle bag and you don’t have to iron!
2. Use accessories to dress up your vacation style or tone it down. Pack a fedora hat (so we don’t have to worry about our hair) add a belt to cinch the waist for a sexy look and a few statement necklaces to dress up a basic t shirt.
3. Your shoe collection should also be effortless style. Include flip flops (easy to put on) flats for a cool night and two pairs of pumps. In terms of pumps, I like to go with a basic color that coordinates with any garment such as nude or black.
4. Undergarments need to reflect your coordinated pieces. For example, a new mom should include a slimming camisole to keep the abdominal muscles (firm) underneath a blouse. We can also add a bodysuit for that gorgeous dress that shows your curves.
5. In terms of pants, consider a pair of shorts, jeans, or even leggings. All three are great options when packing your vacation attire because they’re transitional pieces that can mix and match.
6. Don’t forget your swimsuit – I like to keep two options in mind; one swimsuit for a sexy date and another suit for having a good time (you’re not concerned with your appearance in this suit because it’s comfortable.)
Packing for any trip can be demanding but with the right tips and perspective, we can have an amazing time and still look great!

Beyonce: The Fashion Chameleon – Achieve The Look
It’s no secret that Beyonce is a fashion chameleon. This woman can look glamorous wearing a sequin bodysuit (for shows) to dressing in street style with a hipster hat on Instagram.
To pull off a combination like the one below, the secret is to find a dominate color and select additional pieces within the same color family. Personally, I like eclectic design of the first look, mixing textures and prints. Bey also made this style sexy by cinching the waist with a belt.
The second and third photo gives us a lot of style and personality with garments in the same print (top and shorts) while adding a hat for quick style. With simple accessories in our wardrobe such as hats, belts, and funky nail designs anyone can achieve this look – fashion is fun!

Ross Dress for Less – My Personal Summer Style and Photos
Let’s be honest, everyone likes to shop at Ross Dress for Less. Fashionistas can find designer labels for a discounted price and it really doesn’t get any better than that!
To jumpstart their new campaign, the brand asked shoppers to like their Facebook Page and participate in a Summer Style Quiz. The quiz was a fun addition to their campaign and I discovered that my personal summer style is the Social Butterfly. Being a Social Butterfly means I enjoy wearing maxi dresses, embellished sandals, oversized sunglasses, and large tote bags.
I had the opportunity to visit my local Ross and purchase a few pieces for my wardrobe. I was happy to see all of the Summer hues and trends for shoppers to select.
As you can see from the previous photos there’s a wonderful selection of merchandise. If you’re a classic fashionista, one can find a corporate pantsuit and if you’re a trendsetter, one can choose from the leggings department. To make sure you’re selecting the appropriate size don’t forget to visit the fitting room to try on items.
Visit your local Ross Dress for Less to enhance your wardrobe and find your summer style!
