Vacation is on my mind, and thanks to a last-minute flight deal, I'm heading to Mexico next week. Sun, beaches, and the latest rom-com book are already packed in my carry-on for seven glorious out-of-office days, but if you know me, you know there's nothing I get more excited about going abroad than packing for it.
While there are dozens of chic travel essentials and clothing items to pack for a tropical vacation, a ton of the guides you see out there are often limited to straight sizing. So, lucky for you, I've compiled my favorite plus-size swimsuits, warm-weather finds, and vacation shoes to take with you on your next tropical getaway. Don't believe me? Just see for yourself and scroll all through my favorite shopping finds.
