Earlier this month, I was set to embark on my honeymoon in Mexico, and as one does, I shopped extensively for it. Honeymoon shopping is certainly a thing, one that I was happy to partake in at that. Because we waited a couple of months after the wedding to take the trip, I luckily had the time to do so. And since we chose a tropical destination for our honeymoon, I actually ended up getting a head start on my summer shopping, stocking up on swimsuits, sandals, sunglasses, shorts, and sundresses, all of which I plan on wearing from now until September.
Surprisingly, I found shopping and packing for the honeymoon to be pretty easy. Since it’s the type of trip that’s carefully planned in advance, I knew exactly what I needed for each day. Plus, the weather in Mexico is pretty predictable this time of year, so shorts, dresses, and sandals it was. Read on to find out which pieces I got for my honeymoon but will wear long after our return flight home.
A simple, roomy beach tote was an essential.
This swimsuit was especially fun to wear.Available in sizes XS to L.
If you like high-waisted denim shorts, you'll love these.Available in sizes 23 to 32.
I loved that this hat could be folded and crushed without ruining the shape.
I wore these espadrilles with so many dresses throughout the trip.Available in sizes 5 to 12.
These earrings went perfectly with everything I packed.
I updated my denim collection for the trip with these perfect white jeans.Available in sizes 23 to 32.

These were the (very) comfortable sneakers I wore to the airport.Available in sizes 7 to 10.
I'll wear this lively top with denim all summer long.Available in sizes XXS to XXL.
FYI: Aritzia makes the best high-waisted black shorts.Available in sizes 00 to 12.
While I won't actually wear these packing cubes, they will keep me organized for every trip I take this summer.
Tropical vacations call for palm tree–print pajamas, in my opinion.Available in sizes XS to L.
These linen pants are lightweight enough to wear on the hottest of days.Available in sizes 0 to 12.
I've already worn these multiple times post-honeymoon.
