Packing for my Florida Trip – 10 looks. Part II

in Style on 12/21/18

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Part 2 of what I packed for my 20 day trip to Florida. If you didn’t read Part 1 of this post, you can do it by visiting this link. 

Here are the other 10 looks I packed. I’m currently in Boca Raton, FL and this is pretty much what I packed for a the whole trip. I added other stuff last minute and left others, but in general, I applied all the tips and advice I’ve shared for packing.

Scroll down if you want to learn more about each look and some styling tips.

Out of all of these pieces, I think I’m going to leave some stuff down here because I’m not going to use any of these pieces in Chicago until July and we are getting ready to travel the world for 2 years (more about that on @waysoftheworld_) and I want to have some extra stuff here in Florida. There’s no way I’m only going to keep whatever fits in one suitcase LOL. No way! We will be selling everything we own, so I feel like keeping an extra suitcase worth of clothing will give me some peace of mind. At least in the beginning.

Anyways, here are the other 10 looks and some basic pieces I think are great for traveling.

White T-shirt looks: If you’ve been following me for a while, you know by now how much I love white T-shirts. Some people would say they are not the most practical thing in the world for traveling because they get dirty super fast, but if you can wash it, then bring it! You can also bring more than one. I packed 3 for this trip. They are so easy to style and they look super cute in my opinion.

Maxi dresses: I love a good maxi dress and they are great for traveling. I love these 2 because they are super light weight and they don’t wrinkle. Maxi dresses make you look good in a second, they dress you up. They are also super versatile and you can wear them to the beach with flip flops, to hang out during the day with flat sandals and a denim jacket or dress them up with accessories and high heels to go out at night. I always pack one or two wherever I travel.

Cute and easy daytime looks: Casual dresses are great because you just put them on and are ready to go. It’s so easy. I always pack a few of these because it’s an outfit that won’t take a lot of space out of your suitcase and they are easy to style. You can buy them anywhere and there are so many cute and cheap places like Romwe or Shein, where you can shop for $8-$10 dresses like these 2.

A Denim Jacket: Denim jackets are a must in life, but especially when you are traveling. They literally go well with everything and they are good to have around in case the weather cools down. I find them super useful in warm places where it gets colder at night but not too much. I get cold pretty easily, so I like to have with me a versatile piece like a denim jacket. I styled the orange dress from the left on part 1 of this post, and in here I re-styled it to go out for dinner.

Striped dress looks: I love stripes so much and striped dresses are no exception. This one is very lightweight, so it takes zero space from my suitcase and I love it because it works as a coverup, it looks good with any pair of shoes and I can wear it a few times before it actually looks dirty! I promise you, a striped dress will never disappoint and it’s a good piece to have handy for those days where you don’t know what to wear.

Any thoughts?

Let me know what you think and what your favorite piece/style was. Also, if you have any packing tips or advice, make sure to share them in the comments below. I love to hear from you 🙂

Well you guys, thanks so much for stopping by!!

OH, HI THERE!

Hi guys! My name is Aimara and I’m the voice behind Ways of Style.

I created this Blog as a space to express my thoughts and life experiences while wearing cute outfits of course! At the same time I want to encourage you to always be yourself, without caring what the world thinks about it.

I believe that we all have a specific purpose in life, but you can only find it by being 100% you and following your heart & intuition. In May 2014 I came to this country with a dream and with all my belongings in a suitcase, with nothing but determination to make it happen.

So much fun last night! Swipe to see. More videos in stories ☺️

Have you been enjoying the snow? ❄️ We went sledding, ran like crazy in the snow and fell many times, tried to build a snowman (but failed 😂), had a snowball fight... I mean... SO FUN!! And the best part is that it wasn’t that cold!!! 🙌🏻

Hi 👋🏻 it’s been a while. After dealing wi Hi 👋🏻 it’s been a while.

After dealing with how the new year started, I really didn’t feel like posting, so I deleted IG for a little bit for mental health purposes. The last thing I posted was on Jan 6th and after confronting a ton of senseless haters defending what happened I was so exhausted. Emotionally drained actually. (I know it was my mistake to try to deal with crazy people, but I was upset and couldn’t help myself 🙈)

On top of that, my beautiful baby niece Elisa, was born on Dec 26th, but spent over 2 weeks in the NICU having good days and bad days. She is thankfully home & healthy now, but boy was that scary 🙈 

Anyways, that’s what’s up. I’m ok now. Feeling a lot better and trying to get back to things little by little. Hope you guys are doing ok too ❤️

Have an amazing weekend!! See you soon 😘😘

Disclaimer: I’m not wearing a mask at the beach because it was basically just us, so be cool.

I’m so happy it’s been in the 30’s, because this is the coldest we can handle 😂 Thank you Chicago 🙏🏻❤️

Hope everyone’s having a nice week so far! We got our test results back negative so I can finally see my family ❤️ It’s a good day today 🙏🏻

Another basic piece you should definitely have in your closet because you can wear it with basically any bottom or layer it in any way you want!

I’ve been living out of a suitcase for the past 3 months and even though my wardrobe is not super exciting, I’ve managed to have fun with what I have. I basically have 7-8 different bottoms, 6 basic neutral t-shirts, a couple of sweaters and a button down shirt. That’s it!

It’s been ok too because I haven’t been anywhere, so I really have no reason to dress up 😂

One of my happiest moments of 2020 by far! I freak One of my happiest moments of 2020 by far! I freaking did it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don’t often take the time to be proud of myself but today I’m doing just that ❤️
We’ve been talking about getting certified for scuba diving since forever, but this past December we decided to finally go for it. 

Why?
Because this was one thing we were going to do on our trip around the world and since the trip has been postponed until God knows when, we felt like we needed to do something to cheer ourselves up.

I didn’t think it was going to be this hard. I’m not used to face my fears like this or to push through when I feel like quitting, but this time I was determined. I think the @hellofears book made a huge impact in me. Now I promise myself to keep learning new tricks and to push myself outside of my comfort zone as often as I can. Enough of talking about doing things and let time pass by and not do anything at all. Enough of that!

What’s next? Well right now, we are in Chicago until January 30th, but we’ll spend February and March in Boca & Tampa (and then back to the Midwest!), so we already signed up for freediving & windsurf! Both extremely challenging, mentally and physically, but what the hell, we are going for it anyways!

I encourage you to think about some of the things (big & small), you’ve been talking about doing forever and somehow life got in the way and you kept postponing them. Write them down and challenge yourself to do it. Make yourself proud. There’s no better feeling! Just do it for you!

Even though I’m not writing resolutions this year (I always have, but I felt like the universe betrayed all of us in 2020 💔)I’m making a permanent change in my life: push myself, be brave and open the door for new feelings and emotions to arrive. I’ve been living way too comfortable for way too long!

Special thanks to Eric (@globaldiverscuba) for being so kind and patient and of course @diveforcee for being the best scuba store in south Florida. We found them on Google and they were amazing! Can’t recommend them enough!! 💙

Counting the days to see my girls!! Hi 👋🏻 W Counting the days to see my girls!!

Hi 👋🏻 We are currently quarantining in Chicago! We ran into a few very unpleasant issues with our new Airbnb (surprise surprise!), but we got over pretty quickly! Proud of us for doing that 😉

Yesterday I tried to sit down to write down goals for 2021 and honestly, after the crappiest year of all I felt like it was pointless. There’s so little I can control and the only thing I have the power to change is my mindset. 

How do you guys feel about 2021? Hopeful? I’m really trying to have no expectations because this past year has been so devastating that I don’t want all my hopes and dreams to be crushed again 💔 2020 is not exactly ending on the happy note we hoped for as a family, so I’m really hoping all this bad energy to be washed away tonight! #bye2020

Who knows what awaits... so for the first time ever I won’t write any resolutions, just trying to stay positive and faithful to the one who knows better 🙏🏻 How about you?

I wish you the best for 2021 though! It’ll be a party of 2 for us, eating some Venezuelan food and some wine 🍷
Happy New Year’s Eve! ❤️
