Living in Ohio means there is a good 5-6 hour drive between you & the beach. Don't get me wrong I love Ohio, but I'm counting down the days until I'm in Georgia and can make my way to the beach everyday. I have so many outfits I've bought just for the beach but I only get to go a handful of times a year because it's such a far drive. So while I was getting my outfits pulled out for blog post ideas I thought I'd share a few tips on how to get a beachy look without even being at the beach.
Tip #1 Easy, Breezy, Basics
I'm a huge fan of flowy tops and dresses. When I think Beach, I think of loose fitting pieces that have a way of just blowing in the breeze. I picked up this basic loose fit tee from abercrombie mainly because I was totally crushing on the color and I love basics. The best thing about this top is that it can be tied up in a knot or tucked in for a simple front tuck. The flowier the better ;)
Tip#2 Frayed shorts
Summer means shorts! I used to HATE shorts because I have thick thighs and they'd be squished and I just looked gross in them. However, I recently started buying fray shorts and I have never worn shorts more in my life than now. I picked up like 5 pairs from Abercrombie because I'm doing total wardrobe make-over and these are my favorite shorts ever. To achieve the beachy look frayed shorts are a must. The frayed ends give your outfit an extra edge. I love it!
Tip #3 beachy accessories
Accessories really help in making your outfit fit together. To get a beachy look it's all about fun patterns, bright colors, and just bold pieces. So I picked up this fun palm pattern purse from Forever21. I love palm tree prints so when I saw this I just had to have it. Palm & pineapple prints are the best for adding to your summer style and achieving the basic beachy look.
