Essential Beach Outfits

2 Comments

Welcome back to part two of my beach essentials post! Today we are going to look at some of my favorite and most comfortable clothing items for the beach. Let’s jump right in!

This little outfit is PERFECT for a beach trip. I already see myself riding my bike to the ice cream shop in this outfit. It would also look super cute paired with a small brim straw hat like this one! It is super comfy and not see through! This was an awesome Amazon find!

The beach can be so hot and sticky so, I like to wear loose fitting clothing. This polka dot skirt is adorable. It is really comfortable and fits perfectly. The brand (Relipop) also sent me a few free bracelets when I made the purchase. 10/10 will be repurchasing from this brand. Who knew Amazon had such great clothing?!

I am obsessed with this tank from Relipop. It is a lightweight material and it has adjustable straps. It comes in navy as well. I paired it with an old pair of high waisted shorts similar to these. I wanted to pair these with shorts to minimize the items I packed. I am bringing several tops to go with these shorts. One of my favorite packing tips is to bring items you can mix and match to maximize your outfit possibilities!

Meet Bane. He wants to be in all of my pictures, so I figured he deserved a feature. One of a kind. Stubborn. Not for sale! Moving on to the dress. This Forever 21 dress is a staple item of mine. It is so casual and comfortable. You can use it as a beach cover up or with some cute sandals for a dinner outfit. Again, loose fitting and flowy clothing items are a must for me at the beach!

I love this button down! The metallic stripes add a little pop. I paired them with the same denim shorts, but I also have a white mini skirt I can pair it with as well. I have had those sunglasses forever and I am obsessed. Here is a similar pair that is still avaliable for purchase.

Introducing my all time favorite swimsuit. It is a one piece, but the front cut out makes not so grandma if you will. I always wear a hat to the beach to protect my face from the sun. Here is a similar hat. (The hat in the picture has tassels, but after seeing the one I linked that has pom poms…. I may need to purchase that. HA!)

I will also be bringing my animal print swim suits from a previous blog post.

I am so excited to be hanging out at the beach with my family! After I get home from vacation I will have a more regular posting schedule. You can still expect another post next week, so stay tuned!!

Linen Closet Organization

Leave a comment

One of the most exciting milestones is purchasing your first home. However, once you move in it can become stressful. I needed to find a new space to put each item. I had a few problem areas that I just could not get organized. The worst was the guest linen closet. I just couldn’t arrange it in a way that was pleasing to the eye, but also provided all the items our guest might need. Now, several months later I think I finally figured it out!

I wanted this closet to be very cohesive and give our guest all the items they may need or have forgotten. This is what I came up with:

These large milk crate baskets are perfect for holding towels. I just stack them upright one behind the other. If you are slightly OCD like me make sure you use all the same colors. I chose white but any color that matches your decor will work perfectly. This towel set from amazon has great reviews.

To the left of the towel basket I put all the washcloths rolled up. The basket is only $9 at Target. Rolling the washcloths in the same way (where the stripe faces outward) is going the be the most pleasing to the eye.

On the second shelf I used the milk crate basket in small. I folded up an extra set of sheets that I found on amazon. They were super affordable and very soft. I got them in the color Wisteria. Click on the image below to check them out!

I used the same small basket on the second shelf. In this basket I put a few random items that might be helpful to guests such as razors, toothbrushes, soap, and a small travel kit. I feel that it is small details like these that make your guests feel right at home!

On the last shelf I provided some extra pillows. These were only $3 each at Walmart, which makes them perfect for a guest room. They are actually really fluffy and soft.

Getting this one closet organized made me feel so much better! Do you have a problem area in your home that you just can’t get organized? Let me know below.
