We're back in the country and I have lots of pretty pictures to share from our week-long adventure in Costa Rica, but today I wanted to share my packing list because before I went I had no idea what to pack and when I looked around for suggestions, everyone just had tons of exercise clothes on their list, which it fine, if that's what you want, but I prefer to dress semi-normal even if I'm traveling--so here's what I suggest. Hope you enjoy and feel free to pin this post if you found it helpful :)
Day One: Something comfy and cute to travel in--it's a long flight and nobody wants to spend 6 hours something constricting and stiff.

Afternoon Three: Easy chambray and cut-offs to throw on over your suit to have lunch at a local farm and sip down of freshly squeezed sugar-can juice after a day of river-rafting and sloth spotting.

Afternoon Four: After a hike through the forest, you're gonna be pretty sweaty, luckily at the end of the trail you'll find one of the prettiest beaches you ever laid eyes on--better have a suit on so you can take a dip! And make sure to stay to see the sunset--I promise you won't regret it :)
head scarf: similar here
tassel earrings: buy similar here
Day Six: Travel day--the journey is over and if you didn't think it would kill you to eat one more meal of black beans, white rice and plantains, you'd be sad to go--but you leave Costa Rica with excitement to return one day and experience it all again, looking cute in your favorite (and comfy) jeans, a tee and your trusty North Face bag that made it all the way around Europe with you earlier this year.
tassel earrings: similar here
high-riser skinny jeans: buy here
Just in Case:
A light jacket, water-resistant would be a good idea, especially if you go during rainy season--which we didn't. I think I only wore a jacket on the plane there and back, but I was glad I had it for those occasions--our plane home was icy cold!
I wore one like this: here
But here's a cute water-resistant one: here

I'd love to go to Costa Rica in the future (long-distance future! haha) so I'll bear all this in mind. I love summer dresses so I think I'd wear them all the time :)

I love the mexi dress! Way to style it in Costa Rica.
It was even cuter in person, although the cuteness here is a fair representation :)

I am really behind with catching up on the blogs I love to read...hehe... so yeah, this is why I am commenting down the line. But these photos are so fun and make me love you so much more! I do have to ask! The gauze dress?? where did you get it! I LOVE. lately I have been so attracted to dresses. I just feel the best in them, and am not a shorts fan. Mostly because hate how knee length shorts make my legs look (still wear them of course.) anways...I'll stop. Just wanted to say hi!
