Stripes on the Beach

Outfit Details:

top: Asos

skirt: I Heart Aardvarks

shoes: Coach

Two weeks ago Jon and I made a nice little trip to Long Beach, NY to visit my cousin and her hubby. We also made our way into the city to visit a few more of my cousins and to have some amazing pizza, since this was Jon's first time in New York. 

The Friday we were there we took a long walk on the boardwalk and took these photos. Even though the weather was a bit gloomy it was still an amazing relaxing time and i loved just being near the water. 

I was so excited to wear this crop top from Asos with this high waisted skirt because they just went so well together! A crop top for me is perfect for high waisted skirts or for wearing underneath tops because it adds the right amount of coverage without adding bulk. Because when wearing an a-line or bubble skirt no extra bulk is needed!

What are your thoughts on crop tops?

Sand In Between My Toes

As you all know from the post yesterday, I am not a huge fan of sand. Weird, I know, but one place I don't mind sand is beneath my feet. I absolutely love going for walks on the beach. It is not only great exercise but also very relaxing. 

Jon and I began everyday with a nice long walk on the beach and a dip in the ocean. What a great way to start out the day, right?! 

Water was a bit chilly on first impact

This outfit is a great option that can go from walking on the beach into a going out for a casual dinner look. Of course I didn't wear my shoes while on the beach but they are a comfortable, yet cute option to get you to the beach! I got them from Urban Outfitters (click on the link for another option). 

The shorts are from Old Navy and are so comfortable and the perfect length. I didn't travel to Florida with these, I actually had forgotten to pack shorts (crazy I know!). So Jon and I did a little shopping to try and find some, and let me tell you it was not as easy as you may think. Not a lot of stores had their spring and summer lines in so we had to stop in a few stores before we got lucky. Old navy hooked us up, even though they really didn't have a lot of options for women. These polka-dot shorts will be perfect to wear once the weather starts to get warmer!

My sunglasses are from Aldo (click on the link to see what they have to offer) and my hat is the amazing hat I had gotten from Target at the end of this past Fall. It doesn't necessarily help keep the sun off of my face but it looks cute with the outfit! :)

Enjoy the photos and for all of you who are not loving the cold weather, let these help you to escape to warmer weather (at least in your mind)! Stay warm! 

Enjoy & Be Beautiful!
