Liz Fassbender on Late-Summer Getaway Style

Guest Scouter Liz Fassbender of So Much to Smile About

August in DC is the perfect time for a late-summer getaway, and no matter where you decide to escape to (staycations included) you’ll want to vaca in style. Keep things easy with printed swimwear, breezy maxis, a practical tote, and fun accessories.

Plus, utilize suitcase space by packing pieces that do double duty: a shirtdress can work as a chic cover up during the day and a perfect dinner dress with wedges and the right accessories.

Don’t forget a hat to keep the sun off your face and strappy leather sandals for walking around local shops and tourist spots.

Finally, pack a few fun pieces! You can’t go wrong with stripes or florals. Printed shorts or white jeans are always a great choice too!

My picks for a late-summer getaway:

1. Shirtdress (Cheaper one here)
2. Printed bikini (I also love this one)
3. Sunglasses (Aviators are classic)
4. Panama hat
5. Muscle tee (My favorite basic)
6. Statement necklace
7. Maxi dress (Keep it casual or dress it up for a sexy look)
8. Flat sandals
9. Earrings (Add a bit of glam)
10. Pretty floral dress
11. Striped shorts
12. The perfect wedges (Available in other colors)
13. Oversized straw tote
