With the Artic blast gripping the country it’s time to think warm weather destinations. Sunshine and sandy beaches sound about right. Add blue skies and waves gently rolling to shore and I’m ready to pack my bags for a beach vacation. But what should I pack for a beach vacation or a Caribbean cruise? Today we’ll go over the components of Resort Wear for Women over 50.

Packing for vacation can be time-consuming but when you have a checklist it will be as easy as ticking the boxes off. And if there’s one retailer I can rely on for one-stop shopping it’s Nordstrom. They have it all when it comes to anything and everything I need for a resort vacation from bathing suits, sandals, and sunscreen. Even hats!

The Summary

  Today, we’re escaping the cold winter temps and talking resort wear for women over 50

  I’m featuring a resort wear outfit shoppable via a text-widget

  I’ve also pulled in 6 essential resort wear items to pack when going on a beach vacation

Resort Wear For Women Over 50

1. Swimsuits

If you’re headed to the beach or simply lounging by the pool a bathing suit is a must-have. Pick a team: one-piece or two-piece (I like both), and pack two suits. One suit can be worn while the other suit dries.

2. Sundress

I love to wear dresses when the temperature is hot. They’re one and done and are the perfect choice for a day of shopping or dinner poolside.

3. Sandals

Sandals are a must-have for a resort vacation. Just make sure your pedicure is up to date! Bring flip-flops and evening sandals.

4. Cover-Up

Most hotels have strict dress codes for their lobby. While the elevator may take you directly to beach level it’s always a good idea to have a cover-up on hand so you can traipse through the lobby or even have lunch poolside while looking chic yet keeping your swimsuit under cover.

Shorts are an easy solution for a resort vacation. Bermuda shorts are perfect for sightseeing or daytime excursions.

Nordstrom

A few of my favorite things about Nordstrom.

• Free shipping and returns by mail or store
• Buy online and pick up in store
• Curbside pick up (no muss, no fuss. Nordstrom brings your merchandise to you while you wait in your car)
• The Nordy Club where you earn 1 point per dollar, status based on spend, and enjoy perks to beauty and style workshops, curbside pickup, and the first to shop select brands

A big thank you to Nordstrom for this sponsored post. And thank you, lovely readers, for supporting the brands that allow me to bring you fresh ideas.
