I don't know about you, but when it comes to traveling I'm definitely a chronic overpacker. It's so hard for me to enjoy a vacation if I don't feel stylish and perfectly put together, so I always wind up carrying on my entire summer wardrobe. You know how it is, you want to look cute and rock a different outfit every day. But now that I think about it, it's pretty ridiculous considering you only need a few essential pieces to spice up your look.

Maxi dress
You absolutely can’t vacation without at least one maxi dress on hand. It’s a simple (and comfortable) way to look chic all day long. Forever21.com, $25
Teeny tiny bikini
If you’re actually brave enough to sport a bikini, look for a style that complements your shape and keeps your comfortable. A balconette style bikini top with underwire cups flatters most busts and helps keep the girls in place. Hm.com, $18
One-piece
If you have a tummy you’d rather hide, look for a one-piece that includes control technology to help create the illusion of a flatter stomach and a smaller waist. Oldnavy.com, $29
Versatile shoes
Wedge sandals can easily work for day and night. Look for a chic pair that can go with all your outfits. Forever21.com, $30
Summer dress
A comfy but cute sun dress can work for a number of different activities. You can wear it with flat sandals to the beach or with heels when you’re out and about at night. Choose one in a bright, bold color to show off your summer tan__.__ Asos.com, $34
Shades
A pair of flattering and fashionable shades is a must- have. Cat-eye styles tend to look good on most face shapes! Modcloth.com, $12
Carry-on bag
This adorable tote bag is big enough to carry all your beach and day time essentials. It’s also pretty fashionable no?
Gap.com, $40
Flat sandals
You’ll most likely do a lot of walking and sightseeing, so make sure to pack at least one pair of comfy, flat sandals. I love the bright, patterned weave on these! Hm.com, $25
