Here in Wisconsin it’s definitely not beach weather yet (right now it’s 28 degrees) but we can dream right? I created this collage to show how much fun you can have with fashion even at the beach (besides the usual swim suit).

Start off with an eye catching yet comfortable maxi dress in colors of the sea with waves represented by its print. Throw on a thin cotton cardigan for when the cool breezes hit you and a straw hat to keep the sun off your beautiful face. Add some embellished, yet practical flats to make it easy to navigate the hot sand.

Accessorize your beach outfit with natural wood earrings and bracelet. You can either wear 1 statement bracelet or stack several up to show everyone your fashion sense. Add a fun, easily cleaned bag to carry all of your necessities in a color of the sun, cheery yellow. It adds one more pop of color to your look.

Last but not least, wear fun, coordinating nail and toe polish along with simple, natural makeup in your best colors. And of course, don’t forget the sun screen. Your skin will thank you.

Enjoy the sun and surf!
