Miami Beach Travel Outfit
A travel outfit might not be on your packing list since you won’t necessarily be wearing it once you are at your destination.

While comfort on a flight is of the upmost importance, so is looking chic in Miami or wherever you are headed!

This option is one of my favorite beach styles, and is great for any vacation.

Another beach style is this matching set. Matching sets have been on the rise this year, and I got this one at Montce in the Miami shopping district while was there. I love the easy lightweight set for strolls along the boardwalk for breakfast and then straight to the pool. If you prefer bright colorful styles, this set also comes in a few other colors including the sweetest floral set, check it out here.
I left the button down open to go over my swimsuit, but you can easily break it apart as this blouse would be perfect with white jeans or denim shorts as well! It’s lightweight and breathable making it perfect for summer.
