Spring Break Essentials

It’s right about that time…Spring Break. (Well, for most of us.) The time where all your friends are in town together, you’re going to be by some body of water (whether it be the beach, pool, or you’re on a boat), and you’re ready to have a good time. I’ve put together two outfits that I find the perfect fit for the occasion. I’ve incorporated the biggest trends for this season with a little bit of that Ashley flair. I chose pieces that you can always mix and match and can the idea of making them “cover ups” and put it together as an outfit to go out for a later time.

Look #1: I’m an advocate of taking care of my face when in the sun, so I’m always collecting cool hats that will help me cover up but look great. I love the pop of color this fedora adds to the outfit. Fuchsia is a big color this Spring! This look is completed with color blocking accessories that will make you stand out. (and we all know that’s the important part.)

Spring Break Essentials

hat: Target. necklace: Mod Cloth. sandals: Sam Edelman. sunglasses: ASOS. cover up: Topshop. watch: Nixon. bikini: Tara Matthews via The Outnet.

Look #2: Since the weather during this time is getting hotter, but not excruciating like the Summer, you can get away with covering up your tunic with a chambray button down rolled at the sleeves and unbuttoned for that “jean jacket” look.  Put it together with a printed tunic over a bright bikini and some neutral accessories and you are good to go!

Spring Break Essentials
