But when it comes to packing for any trip, Im the ultimate minimalist.
Therefore, the more practical I can be withone medium-sized suitcase(and a tote), the better.

My packing skills were put to the test last month when I set sail on the brand newCarnival Firenzeship.
Id also need to take into account the dressy nights that may call for more accessories.
I wasnt taking myportable steamer, so Id need pieces that wouldnt wrinkle easily.
Amazon
And what did I learn?
I relied heavily ontwo-piece sets from Amazon.
Theyre comfy, stylish, and budget-friendly.
Amazon
This look took me from morning until the time I showered and changed for dinner.
Sizes for both sets go from XS to XXL.
Thetwo-piece setchecked all the boxes.
Amazon
Cropped tops can be intimidating, but I felt covered enough with the high-waisted bottoms.
The top is loose-fitting and the bottom features an elastic waistband.
We spent the day on a yacht, andmy Cabo lookwas my favorite of the entire trip.
Amazon
I was able to find something similar at a much more accessible price point,sold as a set.
It also comes with pockets and two long slits up the sides.

Artfree Womens Loungewear Set
To say Im obsessed with thistwo-piece setis an understatement.
Amazon
I wear itallthe time.
Im impressed with the high-quality material, fit, comfortability and overall aesthetic.
Its a stylish, luxurious ensemble at a remarkable price point.
Anthropologie
Its also great for mixing and matching.
There are several shades to choose from with my beloved set, but Im partial to the Barbie pink.
I get so many compliments.
Amazon
It truly is the ultimate LBD.
Its short enough to show a little leg, but long enough to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
It also offers a little skin reveal in all the right places.
Amazon
Its the easiest piece to accessorize, and I absolutelylivefor the elastic stretch.
Im a curvy girlie, so zippers and tight fitting material are my worst enemies.
None of that is present here.
Amazon
I also love the versatile short sleeves.
They can be worn as is or off the shoulder.
This is a dream for me, someone who despises buttons and zippers.
Amazon
Its easy to slip on, with a long slit on the side to conservatively show a little leg.
Its similarly easy to slip into and it fits the cocktail theme I was going for with the first.
The tiny cutout offers a peek of skin without revealing too much.
Amazon
Not only are they extremely comfortable (truly, like walking on clouds), they serve many purposes.
I wore them casually on the ship with myAnrabess Knit Sweater Pullover Crop Top + Pantsfor breakfast and lunch.
Ilivedin theseBottega Veneta-inspired sandals.
The key was finding aflattering, supportive pieceI could wear with anything.
This affordable one-piece features ribbed detail, soft material, stretch and comfort.
It also offers fun colors to choose from, and a stylish low back.
The suit pairs perfectly with myPeixoto Womens Valentina Skirtand the bottoms from myArtfree Womens Loungewear Set.
Thisleather tote bagfeatures an adjustable strap that can conveniently transform into different styles.
Easy to clasp and carry, this dressy accessory was a no-brainer for the fancier evenings.
If the boxed shape isnt your style, I also love the more lightweightVerdusa Women’s Satin Evening Handbag.
The material is soft and the space fits all the essentials.
