Everything I Would Wear On My Dream Vacation

For me, packing for vacation typically means throwing all of my cut-offs and bathing suits into a carry-on two hours before my flight and hoping for the best. Even if I do happen to throw in a few cute outfits, I still end up wearing the same oversized T-shirt as a cover-up the entire time.
