Ahh sweet spring break, you’re officially over [insert tears and depression]. We ventured off to Gulf Shores, AL for a second year in a row with my family for the past week of fun, relaxation and time together. This was my dad’s first vacation since his bicycle / broken neck fiasco last July so the fact that we all got to be there together with no neck brace in sight was such a celebration! While I’m always sad to come home, I am anxious to get back in the swing of things. It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks while we prepare for the upcoming launch of the Gibson x LIY Spring Garden Party collection [coming 4/23 to Nordstrom [make sure you’re a newsletter subscriber] to receive sneak peeks leading up to the grand reveal!
ANYHOW. Back to the matter at hand — VACATION OUTFITS aka the best outfits. Yes, I know they can be worn for other events [including but not limited to: spring and summer] but it just sounds more exciting and appealing to label them vacay looks. The only thing you need to pair with these 14 looks below? A palm tree and pina colada. Enjoy!
Pssst. Before we get into all of the outfits, let’s get the logistics out of the way to make this process easier on you – for sizing reference, I am 5’4, 125 lbs on a good day, typically a 2 in tops/dresses and 26 in jeans/pants with a preferred inseam of 26-28 inches. Bra size is 30DDD [I get it from my momma]. Hopefully, this helps when determining what size you’d need. Also, feel free to follow along here for daily outfits [literally every outfit housed in ONE spot] and check out this Pinterest board where you can also get some ideas! Which reminds me, you can pin any of these looks below to save for future reference! Simply click on the links below and you will be taken directly to the retailer where you can shop! Alright, fellow “I like to get dressed” friends, let’s begin!

Founder and creator of LIY, Erin turned her dream of a hobby blog into a full-time career which she now runs alongside the LIY team! When not in front of her computer screen [with a La Croix or wine in hand] or in front of a mirror taking mirror selfies, you can find Erin spending time on the water, cuddled up with her two pups and husband most likely watching the latest Shark Tank episode, or getting lost in an easy beach read.
