Travel Light | Packing for Miami

Travel Light | Miami

We’re off to Miami for a few days.  I have never been to Miami Beach and am really looking forward to exploring the scene there.  We are going on a walking food tour of Little Havana and have an event at the Wynwood Walls.  Both sound equally incredible and cultural.  Can’t wait!  If you have any recommendations for restaurants, please send them over!

While I thought I would be writing a nice little post about the new dress I picked up for this getaway, I have been reading this book, which has me completely re-thinking my habitual buying/purging/buying cycle.  For some reason, every time I plan a trip, I feel the need to get a new somethin-somethin’ that more often than not, turns into a few new somethings.  This time around, I’ve committed to not buying anything new.  So, I’ve asked myself, “D, do you really need a new ……  or is the lovely one in your closet just right?”

We’ll be there for 4 days and per my usual packing light obsession, I’m hoping to keep items to a minimum.  I have 3 dresses, one for each night, a sundress for day time, a pair of white jeans + a blouse, a swimsuit + cover up, hat, book, sunscreen, sandals and a pair of heels, plus a travel outfit.  I should be all set.

Wish me luck!  The restraint I tell you is building, but these pretty pieces will just have to do the trick.  Miami, here we come!  Have a great weekend all.
