So long NYC, Spain is calling my name—temporarily, that is. I’m ready for sunshine, a spritz, and soaking up as much style inspiration as I can in Madrid and Mallorca. In all my Instagram research on what to pack, where to shop, and what to eat, I’ve stumbled upon a few creators who have inspired a very colorful packing list. Royal blue, red, butter yellow, and kelly green are to be the stars of a Spanish summer wardrobe, so naturally, I had to prepare with an equally as colorful capsule wardrobe. I don’t know how I did it, but I’ve managed to pack the following items into my trusty carry-on. My vacation outfits consist of Free People’s just-launched matching linen sets, new season sandals, and a plethora of eyewear options that can all be mixed and matched. So if you’re like me, and ready to retire the New Yorker neutrals for summer, join me in shopping the following fashion items this summer.
