Vacation Packing Made So Easy With A Vacation Capsule Wardrobe

We learned a lot over the past couple years with all the traveling we have been doing. The most important thing that we learned was to pack light. I thought I had done that on our trip to Florida, but packing for three weeks proved to be a challenge, and we ended up with way too many bags. The kids and Pete were not to blame. That was all on me, and it wasn’t from too many shoes, it was me that wanted a different look every day of our trip!

I know I’m not alone in that. Us moms want to love our clothes on vacations so that we look good in the pictures (it’s 2016, we are putting ourselves in the pictures, not just taking them)! But we also are juggling everyone’s luggage, plus our own, so we accept that we will have way too many bags.

This is what my luggage could have looked like…

This is the collection in one bag. Seriously this would have had me covered for 14 days of outfit changes!

Maddie and I had a photoshoot with the collection because I had to show you all how great they fit and how beautiful they looked. Can I just stop and say how crazy it is to finally be able to share clothes with my daughter too?! It is also pretty cool that she thought the clothes that I picked out were awesome too!

A couple things I noticed right away when I  received the clothes was how versatile the collection is and how it is designed to work together to easily mix and match. You can put together so many options with each piece really complimenting the other.

Another thing I notice and love is that everything is in travel friendly fabrications. It is all wrinkle resistant or wrinkle free, and manufactured in San Francisco. Yep, this is all from one of my favorite cities in the world!

I really think that this is the way of the future as far as clothing shopping for vacations (and at home) goes.

  • All of the outfits look so cute and comfy and that’s important to me. I love that I wouldn’t have to worry about wrinkles because I hate ironing with a passion.

    • Hi Terri,

      We hate ironing as much as you! That why our fabrics are thoughtfully selected to work for traveling. They are literally wrinkle-proof. Everything comes out of your suitcase ready to wear.

  • I don’t have a vacation planned till the fall. I love how diverse and functional these clothing items are. It’s so hard to pack sometimes when you know you need different clothes for different occasions. This would definitely solve that problem.

    • Hi Cindy,

      We hope your Fall vacation is coming together soon. We wanted to let you know that we just put a ton of great Vacaystyle pieces on sale. We’d love to see you in VacayStyle on your trip (be sure to tag us #vacaystyle).

  • Amazing! It would be nice to have these pieces when you’re going on vacation, it’s going to save so much storage space in your luggage and I’m sure packing will be so easy as well. I like the maxi dresses and I like the fact that you can style them to look like different outfits too. They all look so comfy!

  • Those pieces are so beautiful! I’d love to have some of them. I’m always looking for some nice summer outfits, and these would be perfect. They look so comfy too.

  • The Martinique 5 piece collection would be perfect for my next trip. I always over pack when I go away. I will have to treat myself.

    • Hi Ann,

      We’d love to see you in the Martinique Collection. We still have a few collections left.

  • I am a terrible packer. I would love to have a few of these pieces for my vacation collection. I will have to check out the Martinique 5 piece collection.

    • Hi Ginger Mommy,

      The reason we created VacayStyle was because we are terrible packers! We’d regrettably pack all the clothes we hadn’t touched in years. Then of course, on vacation we’d continue to not wear those same pieces. They’d just take up space in our suitcase.

      We’d love to see you in the Martinique Collection. It was designed to solve your packing dilemmas!

  • First off, I love every piece of clothing in this post. They’re beautiful and bright and comfortable looking. Second, this is such a fabulous idea! I’m in love!!

  • This is definitely something I need to look into. I tend to over pack when it comes to vacations and this seems like not only a space saver but something I would feel good wearing too.

    • Hi Kristin,

      The reason we created VacayStyle was because we are lifelong overpackers. We’d always pack all the clothes we hadn’t touched in years. Then of course, on vacation we’d continue to not wear those same pieces. They’d just take up space in our suitcase.

      We’d love to see you try one of our Collections. They are specifically designed to solve the packing dilemmas of people like us!

  • This is both awesome and convenient! This is something that I would use. Versatile pieces are always best for traveling.

  • Love all of the pieces! They are so fashionable and I really like that they are made from fabrics that resist wrinkles. What a wonderful idea to sell the pieces as a collection. I will definitely check it out and appreciate the coupon code! 🙂

    • Hi Nancy,

      We have a serious aversion to ironing! Which is why our fabrics are thoughtfully selected to be perfect for travellers. We sourced super soft fabrics that are literally wrinkle-proof. Everything comes out of your suitcase ready to wear.

  • Wow, I love these wardrobes! So perfect for summer! I like the color and styles. I want to have it for myself.

  • Love the collection you choose! This service is right up our alley! We love to travel with our kids and packing light is always the goal, but it’s HARD! I could totally benefit from using their service!

  • Wow! I really could’ve used this when we were in South Carolina this year. It really would have come in handy. I think you and Maddie look amazing!

  • I have never heard of Vacay clothes before but they look amazing! I love to wear wash and wear clothing. Who has time to iron things anymore? I will be checking the out for sure!

  • I really like that Martinique collection. I travel 175+ days a year for work and I travel for pleasure. I need this in my life. I’m wondering if they have anything that might be a little more formal for business travel. Checking out their site now!

  • I am loving your fashion time capsule from vacations. What great outfits and so many colorful clothing options. I certainly see a few items I would love to purchase!

    • Hi Shasta,

      We love that you love our colorful clothing! Our unofficial motto is, “why blend in?”. Have you seen our new St. Barts Collection? The tropical color palette is just gorgeous.

  • Oh my gosh, I love this idea! Especially with all the extra charges airlines have for bags and stuff. Great way to save money, pack less and look good!

    • Hi Vicky,

      VacayStyle was designed to allow you to pack smart! We get so excited when we don’t have to pay baggage fees. It’s a great way to start off a vacation on the right foot.

  • This is awesome and the outfits are so cute! The vacation capsule wardrobe is great because you save money on clothes and you have less things to pack.

  • Your vacation wardrobe is everything that a vacation wardrobe should be! It is versatile and adorable and looks SO comfortable. Plus this is a great way to save money and pack less!

  • I have a trip planned next month to the East Coast for my niece’s birthday party. I’ve been trying to figure out what to pack and think the Martinique Collection would be perfect for the trip.

  • I think that the whole idea of the vacation capsule wardrobe is genius! I know I personally am always wanting new clothes for a vacation and this would make that happen. Not to mention this would really cut down on the necessary packing space!

    • Hi Maggie,

      When you call our idea “genius” it totally makes our day! We think these vacation clothing capsules are pretty unique and we are really proud of them.
