I’m back! A little more tan and a LOT more relaxed. Ed and I went on a 2 week cruise with Holland America and it was the best vacation I have ever taken! I absolutely recommend it if you want to unpack once and see a lot of different places. We visited eight different ports – beginning in Key West down to Aruba. I can’t say enough about how amazing the experience was. The food, the people, the beaches… it was the ultimate relaxing vacation.

I received a lot of questions about my outfits during the trip, so I compiled them all in one post! I focused on packing minimally with pieces that I could wear over and over. Trading in my sweaters for two weeks of linen tops and shorts was the BEST!
Hat | Sunglasses | Top | Shorts | Bag | Sandals
These shorts are on sale for $25 and are super soft. I wore these a lot during the trip, also as a cover up paired with a linen top! The sandals are an amazing Amazon find. They’re under $50 and come in 5 colors.
Hat | Bikini top and bottom
I was so excited to wear this bikini the minute I ordered it. It’s great quality for being so affordable. I love the ribbed detail and it also comes in white. It does run small – I’m wearing a size 6 in the top and a size 4 in the bottom.
Sunglasses | Top | Linen pants (identical cotton pants) | Bag | Similar sandals
These linen pants are my favorite piece from this trip. They’re high waisted, wide leg and have the cutest button detail on the side. Plus they’re only $50! I’m wearing an XS.
Bikini top and bottom
I have always been a huge fan of Monday Swimwear so I finally bought a bikini for this trip and I’m very impressed by the quality! It’s definitely worth it if you want to splurge on a bikini that will last. I’m wearing a size small in both.
Hat | Sunglasses | Bikini top | Linen pants
These linen pants were the most asked about piece from the trip. They’re on super sale and are SO cozy. They made for the best beach cover up and paired with a black tank and sandals for a breezy outfit. These fit true to size, I’m wearing an XS.
Linen top | Similar shorts | Bag | Sandals
This linen top was another great Amazon find. Like many other pieces in this post, it doubled as a beach cover up!
Bathing suit (on sale under $50) | Earrings | Bag | Sunglasses
I’m typically not into one-piece bathing suits, but couldn’t resist this one from Aerie. It has a low back and the tie detail in the front is super cute. I loved it so much that I actually wore it as an outfit paired with the white linen pants! I’m wearing a size small.
