This should be made into a series because this advice is RICH. I loved seeing the way you switched from a piece for our vacation self into a more closet-sustainable option and then matching that with actual styling suggestions. Brilliant!
Also, I heard a girl (on TikTok?) say "why don't we introduce our closet to our vacation, we like our closet the other 360 days of the year." I thought that was so true. Like I'm hiding my real life from a fantasy.
Ooh great idea! It would be fun to do a this, not that series! And yes, I totally agree..if we have versatile pieces we love, they can be good enough for any trip!
This is such great content. I often buy my purses on vacation-- they're a great souvenir etc, I like the idea of shopping my closet first so my purse budget increases! Seriously though, I liked seeing the switches you made and like the idea of thinking of a dress first worn on vacation as a souvenir as well. The examples you showed were really good. Thank you!
It’s this tape yarn sweater from J crew! I love an open knit sweater in the summer as it feels a bit more elevated. I own this one and it is a regular fit so I ended up going two sizes up for a more slouchy fit
Maybe just different pieces you recommend and then styled for different occasion/purposes! Doesn't need to be any fancier than that, I just love your pov
Oh I’m so glad to hear! Thanks for reading ❤️ I used to shop for fun vacation Me pieces every trip when I was younger so I totally get it! Hopefully this helps next time you go on a trip…I’m here if you need support!
This is SO GOOD. The day I realized that I wear bold patterned dresses once was the day I started shopping SO MUCH SMARTER!!! I love how you’ve balanced the (very real/human reaction) fantasy of a vacation with choosing things you’ll actually wear AND live up to the fantasy!!
Very good note on the print! I absolutely love prints and always feel so disappointed when I don’t wear my print dresses/shirts as often as I thought when I bought them for vacation
Yes, prints are more emotional purchases. We react to them a bit more in the moment but unless it’s a more subtle/classic print, I find they tire quickly!

This is genius!!!
Thanks Anna!!
I felt this in my souuuul. I am such an occasion-buyer and then the pieces end up shoved in the back of my closet 😭

OMG. How did you know?!
I’m not sure?! 😂
So good!
Thank you for reading Ashley! ❤️
Loved this - very much identify with this!!
Prints that tire quickly! Yesss! I’m just packing plain black dresses this year. I constantly struggle with the vacation fantasy self.
It’s a common struggle! Black is forever chic ❤️And you can always add a splash of print or color with an accessory!

Thank you so much Christina! I’ve had lots of moments shopping for my fantasy self in the past!
