Packing for the Ultimate Beach Getaway from Marcellas Reynolds
Guest Post from Marcellas Reynolds . . .
The temperatures are rising and that means beach season is finally here! It’s time to start thinking about 3 day weekends and days spent at the beach. As your personal stylist Marcellas Reynolds my mission is to help you look fabulous at the shore WITHOUT taking everything in your closet! It’s time to pack.

Now let’s tackle clothes.


No beach getaway would be complete without a swimsuit and at Midnight Velvet we have a million cute to sexy styles for every body! I have 2 favorites. I love bold, grown and sexy so I recommend the Blitz Zipper Suit! The comfy “miracle” fabric instantly slims you for a younger, more confident look. And that luxe gold zipper down the front is the height of style! Is that a little too sexy? Are you more demure and fun? Well I’ve got you covered in one of the sweetest and trendiest swimsuits of the season; the Blue and Black One Piece! Crossover panels in a halter style drape and cover in the prettiest way. And the color blocking effect is right off the Spring Summer 2016 runways. Who said you can’t be super stylish at the beach?!

Here’s the Ultimate Beach Getaway rundown:
- A printed maxi dress
- Brightly colored tanks or tops
- White pants (the Gauze Palazzo)
- Cropped or ripped jeans in a light wash
- A one piece swimsuit that’s either chic or sweet
- A hat that makes a statement
- Oversized sunglasses (a must!)
- Embellished sandals
And there you have it ladies. What to pack for the ultimate beach getaway! And remember relax and have a BLAST! For Midnight Velvet I’m Marcellas Reynolds, your personal stylist.

Hello Marcellas, I am a young seventy two year old lady. I see so many beautiful clothes in midnight Velvet but confuse I am. Don’t want to go too young nor too mature. Can you give me any ideas or help?

Hi Leila! We love that you came to visit us here! In answer to your question I definitely think there are many things for you here at Midnight Velvet! Take a risk! Try some some color or a bold print. You are only as young (or old) as you feel. Think about one of our great suits in a color that are gently nipped in at the waist. Or try one of our color block dresses that work for church, work or a night out with the hubby! And of course our incredible range of accessories instantly update any wardrobe!
