Vacation/Staycation Wear & Your Own Twist Link Up #10
For this month’s Your Own Twist theme, Monica and I are bringing you some style inspiration for what to wear while on vacation, or staycation for those of you who prefer to just hang at home during the Summer months. Your Own Twist is a monthly series hosted by Monica of Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and myself where we showcase our own interpretations of a chosen style theme. We share the theme with you ahead of time in case you are interested in joining us. Feel free to link your own Vacation/Staycation outfit ideas below. Or add any outfit, style, or fashion post that you’d like!
This month we have invited Brandi and Sherry of Just Live Joy to join us as co-hosts. I met Sherry on my blogging journey a while back through her former blog, The Life of the Party. She has since transitioned to her new blog which she manages with her lifelong bestie, Brandi. You can read their story here. I am absolutely loving the concept and mission behind their new blog. There is so much inspiration to be found within their posts. So definitely go check them out!
Now that I have introduced you to our co-hosts, let me also invite you to join us as a co-host for future Your Own Twist Link Ups. Monica and I post this link up on the third Thursday of every month. If you are interested in co-hosting with us at any point, just let us know in the comments or reach out via email. We would love to have you on board!
Now onto the outfit…generally I am much more of a staycation kind of girl. That is until recently…I have acquired the travel bug. But travel is expensive so other than my recent trip to Asheville, North Carolina, the rest of my Summer travels will be within a few hours of home. But when I am just hanging around at home, I like to be comfortable and cool. Light layers are the way to go for me. And when it is really humid and sticky, I generally opt for loose fitting pants because that sensation of my skin sticking to itself completely grosses me out! I would never survive a Summer in the South. I don’t even really know how I survived a week in North Carolina in July.
Everything I am wearing in this post has been hanging around in my closet at least since last Summer, probably longer. This outfit is so not typical of what you generally see on my blog. Super casual and understated…not really how I roll! But sometimes a girl has got to just tone it down for a hot minute and take it easy. A nice relaxing break in the shade, not feeling too concerned about what I’m wearing. That is what vacation is all about anyway, isn’t it? Throwing our concerns out the window for a few days while we rejuvenate and replenish our energy source.
What have you been wearing this Summer? Have you traveled anywhere fun or do you prefer to stay at home and relax? Do let us know in the comments! And join the link up party below. Also check out our upcoming style themes!
Keeping it on the edge,

This is a major style departure for you but how fun is that?! It’s great to try new looks and this one is perfect for summer heat – you’d keep cool in that number here in FL for sure! Definitely headed to check out your co-hosts new blog – love the concept of two friends joining forces and blogging!

Thank you so much, Kellyann! Every once in a while I do depart from my norm and it is fun! I have to say that I felt completely out of my comfort zone though being so casually comfortable! Isn’t that funny? I went to my ladies’ coffee group the day I wore this outfit and everyone was stunned at how “tame” and “conservative” my outfit was. Haha.
Friend blogs are the best, aren’t they?! I hope you enjoy Just Live Joy.

Thanks so much, Jacqui! Right now it is a little too warm for my liking, but I guess it is better than perpetual snow! Have a fantastic day, my friend.

So relaxing and I totally agree about the loose pants. I have a pair of white linen pants similar to yours that I love to wear in the summer!

I have a white pair of pants like yours and I have been loving them so much this summer. They’re light enough on those hot days. So cute! Love your look and thank you so much for including us as co-hosts this week. We are so very thankful! Hope you have an amazing weekend!! xoxo

Thanks so much, Sherry! I have these pants in 3 or 4 colors. I definitely need to wear them more often! I am so glad that you could join us. So much fun to have a co-host! Let us know if you want to co-host again!

Comfortable, but chic! Your vacation wear looks fabulous Shelbee!

Thank you, Laura! This is one of my most comfortable outfits, for sure. I have these pants in a few colors, too. I need to replicate the outfit now in different color combinations.

I love the neutral look! I tend to go towards this on vacation because the pieces are so easy to mix and match together!

Thanks, Ruth! I definitely have been trying to pack with neutral colors because it is so much easier for travel…especially as a compulsive over packer! I always need ways to keep it to a minimum.

Very chic! I would also style it with a big hat to add a little more glamour!
The safari style that Kate proposes is gorgeous too!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Helen! I do have a white straw fedora that looks super cute with this outfit. But a wide brimmed hat would be wicked cute, too! Thanks for the suggestion.
