What I Packed: Maui, Hawaii
Every year we head to Maui to escape reality on the main land. We love Maui because it offers so much to its visitors: beautiful beaches, crystal water, excellent dining, colorful snorkeling, big-animal divingā¦
Since we will only be visiting for a week, I figured it would be best to pack capsule-style so I can fit both Charlotteās and my clothing into one piece of luggage. When packing for Maui, I tend not to bring anything too dressed up because frankly there isnāt really anywhere where you canāt wear sandals.
We have already made a few dinner reservations because we are traveling over the Valentineās holiday. For dinner, we have made reservations at Kimoās in Lahaina and Sansei near Kapalua. We have been to both many times, and I would would absolutely recommend both if you are traveling to the island. That being said, I like to wear something longer when going into restaurants. Not only do I get cold easily, but I hate when my legs stick to the seat from the humidity. I am only packing one pair of pants which, hopefully, I donāt regret. The beige wide leg pants that I am wearing in this capsule can be found here. I am wearing a size US 2.
essentials
Denim Jacket: Obviously I am bringing my denim jacket because not only do I get cold easily, it offers a very versatile third piece if I need to cover up. I can wear my denim jacket with everything that I have brought - even my denim shorts.
Brown Sandals: These sandals have lived in my closet for a little over 3 years and I absolutely love them. They are a classic color and very comfortable. I found that I can utilize them in this capsule with dresses, shorts and jeans, so I am definitely bringing them. True to size.
Versatile Sneaker: I love my New Balance for this very reason. They have a minimalist aesthetic and are very comfortable so I can wear them every day if I choose to. Also, this color way is very neutral so I donāt have to think about what I am pairing them back to. The only item in my capsule that I wouldnāt wear them with is my Reformation floral midi dress. These exact shoes are hard to find in this color way so I have linked a few other colors below. I actually ordered a kids size because they were sold out in womenās. I ordered a kids size 5 and I am usually a 7.5 womenās. I feel like they run big.
Denim Shorts: I am actually surprised that I am not packing two pairs of denim shorts since they are kind of my uniform in the summer. I chose to pack these loose, relaxed-fit shorts because I can also slide them over a swimsuit if I we go out after the beach. We always hit Leodaās Kitchen for pies multiple times each trip, so I will definitely need something more than my linen-shirt-cover-up.
Neutral Handbag: I love my Balenciaga Everyday tote for this very reason. It is neutral, functional and can pack more than enough it its tiny frame. I have it in the XXS size. Another great designer bag option is the YSL North/South.
White Linen Shirt: I can style a linen shirt 3-ways: as a third piece if I get cold, as a swimsuit coverup, or just by itself. Not super fond of it over a dress, but it will do if I donāt want something heavier like a denim jacket. Linked here.
