My Hawaii (and Florida) Travel Capsule Wardrobe

Yes, we are heading back to Hawaii for three weeks. Yay! For those of you who may not know, I have lived on two of the islands in the past and we like go back as often as possible (plus, I like my dentist there). After we return from Hawaii, we'll be heading to Florida two weeks later for about two weeks, so this capsule will work for that trip, as well.

Note: These are all items in my current Project 33 capsule wardrobe, I just made a smaller capsule for travel.


My tropical capsule travel wardrobe:

Sundress (1)

Shirts (8):
White tunic (that doubles as a swimsuit cover-up)

Light pink oversize shirt (also doubles as a swimsuit cover-up)

Blue Ginger tropical print tunics - blue and red

Purple knit shirt

Light grey tank

White tank

Black cami

Bottoms(4):
Black cotton crop pants

Black cotton shorts

Grey cotton crop pants

Khaki cotton crop pants (these are old and falling apart, perfect for sea glass hunting...this will probably be their last trip though)

Sarong (1) - white, black, silver pattern - (doubles as cover-up, skirt, dress, blanket on the plane,etc.)

Swimsuits (2) - black and purple 

Flip flops/Sandals - 2 pairs - grey and black - (brand is Vionic, so they can be used for walking, beach,etc.)

Short robe (for sleeping or cover-up), underwear, 2 bras

Hat, sunglasses, tote, and small grey purse

(On the plane rides I put my small purse in the tote and then later use tote for the beach.)

Update: 5/16/2015 - After using this wardrobe for three weeks, there are several items I never wore. I could easily remove at least five items (and probably will before heading to Florida in a couple weeks). My husband and I were talking yesterday and decided if we added a few items to what we brought that is all we'd ever need. It has again shown how little we actually need/use.
