Packing for a tropical vacation sounds simple. But, it’s not. Hot weather may mean fewer clothes on your body, but it doesn’t mean fewer clothes in your bag. Especially when it comes to bathing cover-ups.
Girls, dressing up a swimsuit with a hand me down cover-up isn’t going to cut it in the Caribbean anymore. In fact, glitz and glamour are part and parcel to any Caribbean stay nowadays and women are ditching woven sarongs for lighter, more revealing, crocheted and embellished ones. This Venus simple, white, soft v-neck look (on sale for $39) has a large side-slit and long sleeves that can be rolled up casually, or left down to accent bejeweled cuffs. The loopy stitches leave little to the imagination, but that’s the point isn’t it? A little drama goes a long way on the beach or poolside, trust me, and it’s anyone’s guess where your night will be heading after soaking up some rays and getting comfy, cozy at the bar while showing off just a glimpse of that glorious tan underneath. Hey, when you’re on vacation entrance making isn’t just for after dark.
My point? Don’t really “cover up,” simply accessorize your suit in a much cooler way. Change the look daily by bringing some tunics, light sun-dresses and jeweled wraps. You’ll meet the baggage allowance weight, and feel like a sun goddess who was meant to be walking down that white sand beach.
