Somebody find me a beach, I’m ready to show off my summer style. More importantly, I’m ready to catch a tan (don’t judge me), wear shorts every day, instead of just when the weather decides to cooperate and be carefree. Yep, even as an adult, be carefree. I mentioned in my last post that my hubby and I are getting ready to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary, so we’ve planned a beach trip. Not alone, I haven’t mustered up the courage to leave the boys behind just yet, but I’m still just as excited!
The Accessories
I’m going to start this post off a little different, because if I had to pick a star it would be my accessories. Winkwood sent me these fun sunglasses, they’re unique, let me tell ya’. They’re wooden, handmade and can float in water. In case I turn into a surfer at the beach, I’ll be covered. It took me a little bit to get used to them, they’re a little bit bolder than I tend to be, but they have fun reflective lenses and they’re called creamy waffle. So, I’m into them.
Next, are my Austin Earrings that Charming Charlie sent me. Charming Charlie and I are boos. I’ve been loving all of the bubble type earrings (I know, real technical) lately and especially love that mine are striped! They come in tons of colors so hop on over to the site and check out all they have to offer. Use my code: 7RI9V0SD online for $10 off of $60 or this code: 720000000035 in store.
I’ve had my eye on several bags with catchy phrases for the beach. This one just so happened to fit the ticket and makes me so happy! We just recently planned our family beach trip, but I’ve had a trip planned this summer for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend, for a while, so I’ve been grabbing all of the cute beach things that I can!
Striped Side Tie Shorts
Remember my LOFT ordering spree? These shorts were a part of that purchase. Well the top too, but we’ll get to that. The side tie shorts have a darling bow on the sides and are elastic in the back, which makes them totally comfortable. I think they’re super cute. My favorite part about these LOFT shorts, is that they aren’t tight in the thighs. Hallelujah! I think they make my thighs look thin, which had me doing a couple extra turns in front of the mirror.
Eyelet Flounce Tank
Ok, so yes, this LOFT tank top was also a part of that big order. Another cutie pie I couldn’t part with. It has a cute eyelet trim around the top and ties at the straps. But don’t be fooled like me, you can’t untie the straps. In one way, it’s nice, you don’t have to worry about them coming undone, but there was another side of me that wanted to tie them up a little higher. But overall, the top is true to size and not gaping in the arm holes, which can be an issue with tanks tops.
Winkwood Sunglass – Creamy Waffle, c/o
Bring on the tank tops, shorts and dresses; summer style is calling my name. Oh for shore! Have a great weekend girlfriends!

Love this outfit! Those shorts are my favorite! I love the bows on the sides! Plus, they look long enough – which is my struggle EVERY SUMMER! I think I am facing the fact that I am not, in fact, “Forever 21” and so I need to find shorts at stores like J.Crew Factory and Loft! But these look great on you so indulge in a few extra turns in front of the mirror!

It’s hard! I’m always jealous when I see couples getting away for a kid free trip, but then the thought of me actually doing it gives me major anxiety, haha!
I love your flounce-y top and the cute pun on your bag! Happy 10 year anniversary!!
