I’m Going to the Caribbean - Someone Please Buy me Everything from my Wardrobe Wishlist

Table of Contents

My partner’s close friend is having a destination wedding in February and I need looks! We’ve known about the wedding for about a year. So to answer your question – Yes I’ve been planning my outfits for a 5 day trip for about a year.

I’ve used everything from the Real Housewives to Zendaya’s Instagram as my inspiration for my outfits. Now I just have to prioritize the right prices and most re-wearable pieces. But if we were in a perfect world, I would have every single one of these items!!

Take a look at my vacation outfit plans and let me know your thoughts on what I should keep and what I should swap!

The Looks

For a Boat Cruise (Smart Casual) – Andrea Iyamah Linea Ribbed Wide-Leg Pants ($285) + knit tank top

I plan on pairing these beautiful pants with a cream knit tank top and a cute headscarf. I can’t wait!

For night-time (Beach Casual) – Alexis’s Coastal Cutout Midi Dress

I’m obsessed with this dress, but it has one big problem: It’s expected to be available in April. While I’d like for my partner’s friends to push their wedding a few months for this dress, that probably won’t happen… Still, I DREAM about this piece.

I don’t know how to swim. I recognize I should learn before I go to a g******n island, but I’m scared! Anyway, because I don’t know how to swim, I don’t own any swimsuits. I technically bought my first one last year, but it’s ugly and boring so I decided to switch it up with this one! Paired with this cute cover up skirt, I’m ready to not swim in a swimsuit!

For the Ceremony (Beach Elegant) – Rat and Boa Serafia Dress

This dress to me is definition “beach elegant”. It’s a beautiful material with a gorgeous silhouette. The tassel detail screams vacation and the cowl back adds another sexy element to an overall sexy dress. I initially worried about the long tassel interfering with dancing but it’s adjustable!
