OMG that is a fun way to plan outfits for travel. I so badly want to do this. I actually somehow found time in my life to take photos of all of my clothes and post them in my ACloset app. So, it actually would be possible for me to do this without too much effort (my clothes are already photographed, categorized, etc. in the app.) Very inspiring! I need to use Pinterest more for outfit ideas tho. Your posts are always full of useable tips and ideas :))

Omg!! Incredible—you've already done the hardest part! 👏🏼 I'd recommend when you're bored one day to just dump all the photos into Google Slides so you have them all in there (if it wouldn't be too much trouble to import them from the app). That way, when you're ready to plan outfits for a trip, you can just drag and drop different pieces together and play around without thinking too much about it 🥰

It’s not just you! If I stay at (any) hotel, I’m looking for daily housekeeping! You definitely suffered too many annoyances there, appreciate the transparency. Looks gorgeous though!!

Love this review!

1. SLAY in that silver dress. That is screaming to be outfit-repeated on you over and over again.

2. I looked into this hotel recently when looking for a caribbean destination for thanksgiving!! Kinda glad we decided on something else after reading your review. Love the transparency and honestyy.

Thank you!! Nothing worse than reading a review that beats around the bush. Also, can you believe that dress is only $62?! Feels really high quality for the price.

I cannot underscore how much I *hate* when housekeeping isn't offered every day.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this sentiment! Especially when it's a beach vacation...Nothing worse than sand in the bed 😩

Of course! It's sooo beautiful but for how much they charge they really should step their service up. If you're looking for a comparable hotel in the Caribbean where you won't be disappointed at ALL, stay at Palm Heights! 💛

I'm already petitioning my husband on Palm Heights for the babymoon for the baby I don't yet have 😆

Gurrrl this outfit planning is ICONIC. I want to say I am going to steal this idea, but gonna temper my expectations for myself and say I will for sure at least TRY for our upcoming trip to Italy.

Haha thank you! I've been burned too many times in the past where I've felt like I didn't bring enough to wear, so I started implementing this strategy last year and it's worked really well. Start small if you can 😉
