| What to wear on a beach vacation |
I love planning my outfits ahead be it attending a wedding, or a party and while traveling too. Of course, every woman would love to do that and I too enjoy doing that along with shopping for those outfits.So when my Phuket trip got confirmed, the first thing that came to my mind was to look out for outfit inspirations online and then to head out for shopping. When it comes to western outfits, my personal favorite would be BOHO outfits and I really love to flaunt chunky jewelry too.I decided on a budget first and then headed out to my most favorite shopping store in Singapore, i.e : H&M. H&M has a great range of choices, size options and of course, SALE, so the first stop was at H&M.I got some of the boho outfits from H&M and the rest of the outfits are from my existing collection. So let us see what were the outfits that I wore and let me decode them for you.
Phuket is a lovely place for couples to hang out and you have a mix of different types of entertainment - calm, serene beaches or nightclubs, or monasteries or luxury cruise to beautiful bays. Depending on your interests you can choose to do what you enjoy doing. My husband and I love to spend time with just each other and do not go for parties or nightclubs, which is totally our personal choice. So we had a 4 days vacation in Phuket where we leisurely spent a day at our beachside resort and the rest of the days we went on a Phuket Day tour to a Buddha Temple, cashew nut factory and also took the Phang Nga bay tour to the famous James Bond Island.
So my outfits will be a combination of comfortable Beach dresses, skirts for the outings and so on.
OUTFIT 1 - For Hanging out by the Beach & Beach Side Cafes - Bohemian Slit Dress

| Slit Dress from H&M |
Outfit : H&M, 39 SGD
Bohemian Necklace : Lovisa, 20 SGD
White Flats : KIYO, 16 SGD
Belt : Stolen from another outfit
I wore this outfit when we took a romantic stroll along the beach and found small hidden cafes and restaurants to have our dinner.So I wanted something really comfortable, breathable and yet elegant for our dinner. I just cinched the waist to give the Slit Dress more shape and I totally loved how it looked on me.

| Printed Maxi Skirt with white shirt for the Phuket Day Tour |

| Bohemian Layered Necklace Styling |
The reason why I chose outfits in the same color family is that I did not want to carry a lot of jewelry and footwear, so I tried to stick to similar colors and carried just one footwear apart from my beach sandals and limited jewelry.
OUTFIT 3 - For Watching 'The Phantasea Show' & for Dinner - Cold Shoulder Purple Top & Printed A-line Skirt
 |
| Styling a Floral Printed Skirt |
SKIRT : Bugis Street, 20 SGD
Purple Cold Shoulder Blouse : Dorothy Perkins, 39 SGD

| Cold Shoulder Top with Embellished Wrist Design |
We were going to watch a beautiful show where elephants also danced along with hundreds of Thai dancers and had our dinner in a 4000 -seater buffet. So I wanted something really elegant and went for the cold shoulder top which is totally in now.
