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.

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.
