Dress season is here and I am here for it! Okay, maybe it never really ended here in Florida. All of the florals, pastel colors and details like puff sleeves are making me so excited for warm Spring days and the perfect excuse to wear a dress! When I go out with my friends to dinner or to hang out, they usually will ask me what I am wearing and I will always say, “Oh, something casual”. Then I will show up wearing a dress and well…I always get “the look”. It’s the, they are wearing leggings look and you look like your ready for a party look ha! Which friend are you, the dressed up one or leggings one?! In my defense, dresses are casual in my mind and they just easily make you looked more dressed up than you actually are! Honestly, no thought goes into throwing on a pretty dress and some sandals! In 2 seconds you have a cute outfit! I thought all of these dresses would be so perfect for Easter, casual work from home days, running errands and everything in between.

Spring Dresses Under $100 / Floral Spring Dresses / Pastel Dresses / Easter Dress / Gingham Print / Midi Dress / Striped Dress / Preppy Style / Spring Outfit Inspiration - Sunshine Style, A Florida Based Fashion and Lifestyle Blog by Katie

Green Stripe Dress / Floral Maxi Dress / Green Floral Tie Waist Dress / Gingham Dress / Pink Puff Sleeve Dress / Yellow Midi Dress / Floral Ruffle Sleeved Dress / Blue Long Sleeve Midi Dress

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be this gingham print dress! Such a classic silhouette and I am so for any dress that has a tie waist in the sea of mumu’s at the moment. I feel inspired to make a matching gingham headband for my ETSY shop ASAP!

Target has some amazing dress selections right now. I recently picked up this puff sleeve shirt dress for under $30! And this midi dress in pink (under $30). I have a new headband coming next week that I plan on styling with the dress!

Tonight, J.Crew Factory has 40% offf the entire store + an extra 25% off spring styles and I might just pull the trigger and order this floral green dress. You can never go wrong with a shirtdress and I think this striped one would be so cute styled with sandals!

It is spring, so how could I have not included a few floral options! I am picky when it comes to florals. There’s a point where it’s cute and then just completely overdone. This smocked dress has a pretty pastel floral print that is just right and I love it’s girly ruffled sleeves!

Tonight I had my usually Monday workout and at the end of the workout, I literally thought it was Wednesday! Stay tuned to Instagram tomorrow, I will be showing some photos of baby Katie and if I can find them, awkward old embarrassing photos as a teen and me in high school. I will also be reviewing this Target dress that’s under $30 later in the week.

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

All week I thought it was Friday! Now today is finally the day which means my weekly Sunny Style Finds post! There are so many cute cute fall releases that just dropped. I included some fall colored dresses, a tropical inspired basket, sweaters and some vacation inspired beach cover ups! That’s just what you get when you come here, a mix of tropical and fall! 😉

After going away to Vero Beach last weekend, I finally feel all caught up with blog stuff and work! Even started planning a bit of Christmas content! Yippee!! Be on the lookout next week for a Vero Beach travel guide! I grew up going there as a kid and it’s the prettiest beach town! We’re expecting it to be in the high 70’s tomorrow and everyone is sooo excited, including me! It’s a much needed break after 90’s everyday. Hoping I can wear some of my fall dresses!

J.Crew Floral Midi Dress, $44.00

Just saw that J.Crew dropped this dress on their site this week. Love it with the white sneakers. It’s totally a fall in Florida dress. There seem to be no heels in my near or distant future so I am all about easy and casual outfits!

Ruffled Striped Top, $19.50

Another new release from J.Crew Factory! Part of me wants to skip over fall and go right to summer. The other part wants fall. This top has me dreaming of summer or at least wearing it on a beach vacation with white jeans and sneakers!

White Linen Shirtdress, $79.50

Have had my eye on this linen top after going to Vero last weekend. They had some at the hotel for almost $200 and was super excited I found this shirtdress for under $100! Perfect for beach days or weekends at home!

Embroidered Pink Sundress, $138.00

Yes, it has a high price tag but the cuteness makes up for it. I love the embroidery and palm trees! Guess beach vacations are on my mind because that is exactly where I would wear this dress. Or just on a warm fall day here, ha!

Striped Pajamas, $88.00

Next week I will be sharing some of my favorite matching pajama sets! Couldn’t help myself and wanted to post these a bit early. Basically it’s like wearing a giant candy cane. These would make an amazing Christmas gift!

Long Sleeve Tiered Dress, $49.90

This is one of those dresses where it could be hit or miss when you get it in the mail. I think it would be worth the risk. The blush pink color looks extra adorable on the model and it’s nice for semi-warm days where you want to wear long sleeve but still keep cool.

Ruffle Neck Red Sweater, $79.50 (40% off with code GOODBYE)

Ruffled necks are the thing for fall. Red is such a pretty color and works for Christmas, fall and in the winter. I’d pair it with white jeans to brighten up my wardrobe on drab winter days. Yes, even us FL people get those days sometimes!

Pineapple Floor Basket, $69.00

It’s on During work today, I was researching pineapple quotes on Pinterest and stumbled upon this basked! It was love at first sight. If I had my own house, I would have hit “buy” right that second. It can hold small linens and hides them in the cutest way. Even if it wasn’t used for storage, it would make a pretty decoration.

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

Oh am I so excited for all the cute new fall arrives! Today’s SSF includes a few striped pieces, corduroy essentials, a sweater top and cozy fleece and a few jewel tones accessories! Everything is also under $100!

I just ordered this mustard yellow skirt (under $35) and cannot wait to wear it to all the pumpkin patches and fall activities! Right now I’m writing this as I am watching my new favorite show on Netflix called Heartland! Nothing like multitasking while blogging and watching TV!

Puff Sleeve Sweater Top, $14.90

How cute is this sweater like top! It has puff sleeves and would pair super cute styled with this corduroy skirt. The price on this top is also insane! Comes in green, lilac and black also!

Shein Striped Dress, $17.00

Okay, I have this dress! It’s a tad see through and not the highest quality but it’s perfect for work from home days! Can’t complain because the price is so good and it has a really flattering fit!

Old Navy Striped Dress, $26.00

LOVE. This dress is on my wish list. How cute would it be paired with sneakers, a baseball cap and a denim jacket for casual weekend days.

J.Crew Factory Sherpa, $39.95

Dying over how cozy and warm this sherpa looks! Last year I bought my first sherpa and wore it to bed, hiking, on trips and as an extra layer when it was chilly out. The pink with white details is just adorable.

Tuckernuck X Tretorn Sneakers, $98.00

Yes to suede! I love the pink color and these would look cute paired with white jeans and a blouse or sweater for fall and winter!

Tertorn Suede Sneakers, $95.00

I have a pair of plain white sneakers and love pairing them with everything from dresses, to skirts and jeans. This pair with the suede logo in a fun alternative to wear with your fall wardrobe!

J.Crew Factory Suede Skirt, $35.95

This skirt is supposed to arrive to my house today! It was a recent online purchase and for only $35.95, it’s a great deal. It’s a really versatile piece and can be worn tons of ways for fall! Maybe there will be a IGTV or Reel style sesh in the future with this skirt?! Would you be interested?

J.Crew Factory Leopard Loafers, $54

I used to have a pair of leopard loafers and they cut up my feet so bad. My mind is lusting after this leopard pair. Surprisingly, if you don’t love bold prints these are a great option to incorporate leopard in your outfit!

Target Knot Headband, $7.00

Would pair so cute with this skirt! For only, $7.00, how can you not?!

J.Crew Factory Leopard Slip Dress, $19.50

Cheetah Girls. Cheetah Sistas. I know this is leopard but how can I not, the movie comes to mind every time I see a leopard print. Slip dresses are so cute with denim jackets tied around your waist! This is such a fun fall print and a bit more on the bold site!

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

Hello perfect striped long sleeve dress. I have been looking for this exact dress! Now that so many of us are dressing more casual, it would be perfect to wear with sneakers and a straw bag for working at home days or easy weekends.

Tretorn Sneakers, $75.00

These are the exact sneakers I would pair with the dress above! I keep meaning to buy these and need to just take the plunge. Pretty sure they will be my most worn fall shoe.

J.Crew Factory Dress, $34.99 (extra 50% off with code SOEXTRA)

Comes in yellow and navy also! This dress is basically free at only $18. What a steal! When I buy end of summer sale items, I tuck them away in my closet and pull them out the next year. It always is exciting feeling like I am wearing something brand new!

J.Crew Factory Tiered Dress, $64.99 (50% off with code EXTRA)

Whoops, I saved the photo of the back of this dress instead of the front. This is exactly why you don’t work on your computer at 11 PM HAHA! Oh, well, hopefully you get the jist! How fun are the tier’s and bright color! Such an easy dress for summer! Also comes in pink and white.

J.Crew Tie Waist Dress, $103.99

Absolutely love the long sleeve maxi dress. It can always get a little tricky dressing cute in the fall in FL and I love that stores still carry options like this dress. While, not the cheapest prince point but keep an eye out. J.Crew is always having sales. I can’t decide between the yellow, white or pink!

J.Crew Factory Green Pajama Shorts, $14.50

Yes, love these pajama bottoms! I ordered these and actually just wore them this week after I washed them! The size Small fit perfect and their extra soft and comfy. A bunch of the reviews said they were short. I found them the perfect length and they are anything but booty shorts!

J.Crew Onepiece Swimsuit, $98.99

Such a simple swimsuit and looks really comfortable! The swim sales in Aug/Sept are always amazing! If there was a photo of the back, you would see that it swoops lower in the back. What I love about J.Crew swimsuits is that they are super high quality and hold everything in without it being to tight.

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

The Sunny Style Finds are back!!! I took a break from this series and might move these posts to Friday for a fun way to end the week! You’ll find a mix of classic pre-fall tops and dresses and end-of-summer finds that includes white shorts and a scalloped swimsuit. Sunday’s, I usually try to dedicate time to write and schedule out blog posts for the week. I kept finding myself taking hours to only write the Sunny Style Finds posts and would get nothing else done?! Hoping this schedule works better! Or maybe I’m just a really slow worker…or kept getting side tracked with online shopping…we will see! I’ve mentioned it before but I am hanging onto summer for as long as I can (or until the end of September). I’m like this every single year and saying goodbye to swimming is always so sad. Once October hits though, fall mindset all the way! The temps take justtt a little longer to catch on. I have a girls trip planned to Vero Beach mid-Sept and think I am hoping the summer temps stay so we can enjoy our vacation and blue water beach days, ha! After that, here comes fall […]

Sunday’s, I usually try to dedicate time to write and schedule out blog posts for the week. I kept finding myself taking hours to only write the Sunny Style Finds posts and would get nothing else done?! Hoping this schedule works better! Or maybe I’m just a really slow worker…or kept getting side tracked with online shopping…we will see!

I’ve mentioned it before but I am hanging onto summer for as long as I can (or until the end of September). I’m like this every single year and saying goodbye to swimming is always so sad. Once October hits though, fall mindset all the way! The temps take justtt a little longer to catch on. I have a girls trip planned to Vero Beach mid-Sept and think I am hoping the summer temps stay so we can enjoy our vacation and blue water beach days, ha! After that, here comes fall content!

J.Crew Leopard Tiered Dress, $128.00

Love the dress, don’t love the price tag ha! J.Crew is always having sales though. Right now it’s 40% off with code BYESUMMER. Seriously, I love this print and it’s really the perfect dress to ring in fall! The neckline is flattering, the tiered body is so cute and yep, the length is perfect.

Tuckernuck Green Striped Boyfriend Top, $88.00

Another great striped top! I actually have this shirt in the rainbow stripe color and would love to get it in green! It runs true to size unlike the reviews mentions and I would not size down. I ordered an XS and should have gone with the Small but it still works. Comes in blue and red also!

J.Crew Factory Smocked Neck Top, $22.50

Okay, how cute would this blouse looked tucked in with boyfriend jeans and some loafers?! The ruched neckline is really having a moment for fall. If you look close, it has a tiny embossed print that looks like polka dots but cuter! Comes in ivory also!

White Oxford Shirtdress, $56.00

Staying true to yourself on a blog can sometimes seem like a struggle. There are so many trends out there but I always go back to simple, classic, relaxed and preppy style essentials like this white shirtdress. The entire dress is so sophisticated and such an easy piece to throw on and instantly feel like you are ready to take on the day! It looks long enough that you could tie a belt around it to create a waist!

Floral V-Neck Top, $23.99

This top reminds me of the blue and white floral bow scrunchies I just released! So simple and would look so cute paired with white shorts or skinny jeans!

J.Crew Tiered Cotton Dress, $29.00

So I actually ordered this exact dress is the blue and white striped version and it arrived this week. I am not sure I love it but I want to so bad! Keep in mind it run’s large and there’s lots of extra material for the baby doll dress style. I ordered an XS and might need a S for more shoulder room but the middle is extremely forgiving. I think it makes the cutest fall dress to pair with sneakers. It also has elastane, so it’s really easy to move in and you don’t feel restricted.

Gap 3.5 High-Waist Button Up Shorts, $18.97

White shorts are a girls staple in the summertime. With summer temps still going strong, I have been getting so much use out of my white shorts. When I was in Palm Beach this weekend, my friend Ashley and I stopped by the outlets. There shorts were only $20 and fit amazing! I bought a 6/28 and have worn them with tanks and long sleeve button up shirts. You can roll the bottoms if you like your shorts a tad shorter or keep them unrolled if you like the length.

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

Seems like I just blinked and it went from quarantine to fall clothes hitting the shelves, hurricane warnings along the entire East Coast of the US and looking forward to Trey Kennedy’s new “Girls During Fall Be Like” video to release. Did anyone else tune into his 202 Hindsight Live Event this past Weds?! I went to a friends to watch it and had a blast! Before COVID hit, I was planning to see him live on his Tour for my Birthday in April. My plans didn’t work out…but did anyone’s for 2020 ha?! We are currently in a “hurricane watch” over here until Monday morning around 2 AM when the hurricane will be creeping up to Central Florida. If anyone is affected by this, know I am praying for you!

We are currently in a “hurricane watch” over here until Monday morning around 2 AM when the hurricane will be creeping up to Central Florida. If anyone is affected by this, know I am praying for you! I’m not to concerned but there’s always the question, “will we loose power or not? Will it flood if it slows down and sit’s on top of Florida for days?!”. If we do loose power aka precious air conditioning, Monday will be a no work for me day! I’m trying to get as much blog work done today justttt in case! Then my mom and I are going to the beach tonight with some machine that measures the wind mph haha! Exciting stuff.

Sunshine Style Handmade Hair Scrunchie, $15.00

Just in case you missed it, I launched Sunshine Style handmade hair scrunchies last week! I have been so excited to release them for weeks now. It feels like a dream come true and I appreciate ALL of your support! Blue was the most most popular color by you all on Instagram but somehow pink has now raised to the top as the new favorite! There are still limited quantities of blue, pink and yellow available here! Be on the lookout on Tuesday for my next release!

Puff Sleeve Blouse, $55

Absolutely LOVE this green top! You know when you always wear the same colors and you want to incorporate more colors? Well green is it for me. This makes the best transition top from summer to fall with it’s florals and evergreen color! I would wear it with white shirts or jeans and loafers!

Lemon Button Up Skirt, $88.20

Anything with lemon or citrus prints and I am down! I love the ease of this and it’s lightweight to style with a white tank top t-shirt for warm summer days. This price point is a little steeper than I would like but they do have free shipping!

Tiered Striped Dress, $18

I am such a sucker for blue and white stripes! If you remember, I had ordered a few items from Shein and it’s not the highest quality by any means but the price point of their clothes are perfect if you are on a tight budget. This dress is one of their super affordable and rare classic pieces! It’s no where near fall temps here but in the blogging and retail world, fall seems to creep up before we know it. These 3/4 sleeves are my idea of a “fall dress” ha!

J.Crew Pink Summer Swimsuit, $89.99 (50% off with code SHOPSALE)

J.Crew is having amazing sales for the end of summer. Most items are 50-70% off and final sale. The final sale words can be a bit scary but if you read the reviews (I sometimes will read them for 5-10 mins in detail to figure out my size) you almost cannot order the wrong size. This pink swimsuit is under $50 with the code SHOPSALE and really a great price for quality swimwear! Do what I do. Save the suit till next year and when you pull it out, it feels like Christmas!

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

Hey friend! Starting the week off right with a few tops that you can ease into fall with (I say that very lightly), a Florida based stationary brand, some citrus pajamas and the towel you will want to take on every vacation! Whose ready to take on a new week?! I know I am. This weekend I spent it completely social media free. Besides a quick Facebook scroll. I help manage Island Jay’s Facebook page for work and use it for business stuff and check it often, so I got sucked in for 5 minutes HA! I’m not sure if it’s COVID related or turning 30 but I’ve had to really limit myself on social media or I just feel completely defeated/sad and this weird left behind feeling every time I go on. So many marriages, engagements, babies, new houses and it’s better for my overall happiness to find joy in my own life and not worry what others are doing. During the week I love using social to it to promote blog posts, chat with you all and I do get really inspired by it! Sometimes though I just need a break! If you follow me on Instagram or […]

Hey friend! Starting the week off right with a few tops that you can ease into fall with (I say that very lightly), a Florida based stationary brand, some citrus pajamas and the towel you will want to take on every vacation!

Whose ready to take on a new week?! I know I am. This weekend I spent it completely social media free. Besides a quick Facebook scroll. I help manage Island Jay’s Facebook page for work and use it for business stuff and check it often, so I got sucked in for 5 minutes HA!

I’m not sure if it’s COVID related or turning 30 but I’ve had to really limit myself on social media or I just feel completely defeated/sad and this weird left behind feeling every time I go on. So many marriages, engagements, babies, new houses and it’s better for my overall happiness to find joy in my own life and not worry what others are doing. During the week I love using social to it to promote blog posts, chat with you all and I do get really inspired by it! Sometimes though I just need a break!

If you follow me on Instagram or my email list, you know I am so excited to release my handmade bow scrunchies tomorrow, Tuesday, 7/28 at 9AM EST! I’ve been working hard behind the scenes and it just makes me so excited that your so excited! Be sure to check back tomorrow with a post about where to buy the scrunchies and some inspiration behind it!

Striped Top with Bow, $20.00

How fun is the giant bow?! Sunday I ran to Talbots and LOFT with my mom and picked this cute shirt up for $16!!! They are having a sale where you can get 60% off if you buy 3 or more items. I sized up to a Medium so I can roll up the sleeves and wear it with denim shorts at the beach or white jeans when it cools down (most likely in 2021 ha!).

Anchors Aweigh Turkish Towel, $12.99

Last week I shared some of my favorite small businesses. There are SO many businesses that I love, it was hard to narrow it down. When I first started blogging, Nagehan, reached out to me and sent me some of her turkish towels. Let’s just say they are amazing! Her business is female owned and she sells only sustainable and ethically made products! This towel is perfect for beach trips, pool days and picnics.

Rifle Paper Co. Floral Card Set, $18.00

Funny story. I ordered this fun card set along with a gift for a friend from Rifle a few weeks back so I could get a free beach ball with their pretty illustrated pattern. When the order didn’t come with the beach ball I was so disappointed but then I reached out, they ended up sending me one!

Did you know that Rifle Paper Co. is based in Florida?! These are perfect for last minute gifts, parties and thank you’s! I always keep a box of blank cards on hands and never have to run to the store in a panic.

Rainbow Striped Boyfriend Shirt, $88.00

Major stripes vibes over here! Such a fun vintage inspired colorful striped shirt! I love all the colors and actually just ordered it to wear into fall. I say that super “lightly” since our fall won’t actually hit until Jan 2021 ha! This will style super easy with white shorts and sandals or jean shorts it the summer and white jeans in the fall!

Edie Parker X J.Crew Fruit Punch Pajama Set, $98.00

This set is pretty much way out of my prince range and more than I would ever want to pay for pajamas but I just had to share! Sometimes it’s just fun to “window shop”. I think the print is adorable! The Edie Parker collection is filled with fun citrus prints and colors!!! Pretty much want everything because it’s so fun!

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

Happy Monday!!! The heat is here which means dress and sandal season is in full swing. I am here to remind you that you can still dress cute even when it’s hot out! Today on SSF you will find a lightweight summery top, my fav sandals on sale, a coastal inspired woven bag and a girly dress! How was your weekend? I had the best social media free weekend! It wasn’t until mid-afternoon on Sunday that I noticed I hadn’t even checked Instagram and was hours since I last checked my cell phone. During the work week I am always glued to my phone and need to use it often for work, so it’s a nice welcome break to be without it! Saturday my BFF and I planed an entire beach day and within an hour a huge storm hit. We got caught in the best summer storm and swam in the ocean with one other crazy family who wanted to wait out the storm like us. Sunday was a full work day for me. I spent the morning shooting a bunch of product photos for a client. It’s one of my first “big” jobs and am so grateful for […]

How was your weekend? I had the best social media free weekend! It wasn’t until mid-afternoon on Sunday that I noticed I hadn’t even checked Instagram and was hours since I last checked my cell phone. During the work week I am always glued to my phone and need to use it often for work, so it’s a nice welcome break to be without it! Saturday my BFF and I planed an entire beach day and within an hour a huge storm hit. We got caught in the best summer storm and swam in the ocean with one other crazy family who wanted to wait out the storm like us.

Sunday was a full work day for me. I spent the morning shooting a bunch of product photos for a client. It’s one of my first “big” jobs and am so grateful for the opportunity. I’ve been working towards this goal and have been praying specifically for photography clients exactly like this! I keep reminding myself this is a great place to be at and to remember that God had my back when just last year at this time I was working at a minimum wage job I hated (and really discouraged). This week and last was spent taking 20+ photos with different models and backgrounds! It really pushes me out of my comfort zone and I wait to share with you all! If you are interested, follow along with my photography work here.

Tie Shoulder Linen Top, $65.00 (50% off with code GREAT)

LOVEEEE this top. It’s linen so it’s really lightweight. I would style it with a pair of high-waisted white shorts, a straw bag, earrings and sandals for a summer lunch with friends or running errands.

Straw Beach Bag with Leather Handles, $48.90

Beach bags are my most used accessory besides earrings in the summer. Every time I go the beach, my favorite straw beach bag is always in tote. It holds my towel, a 60oz water bottle and my backpack that’s filled with all my essentials like hair ties, sunscreen and food. The handles on this bag are leather which hold up really well, especially when carrying things like water to stay hydrated!

Raffia Statement Earrings, $28.80

If you know me, you know I love a good statement earring. How fun are these raffia circle and square shaped earrings?! I love the light ivory color and would wear them with sundresses!

Gingham Print Tie Shoulder Maxi Dress, $21.00

Tonight I ordered this gingham print after looking at it online for a few days. It’s from Shein which is one of those Chinese websites. Once it arrives (hopefully on time) I will give a review of the quality and how quick it arrives! The reviews were all great which gives me hope. The tie straps are really what sold me!

Shell Sandals, $39.99 (on sale!)

Meet my favorite summer sandal. Anything with a shell on it screams summer! You can see how I styled them with a classic dress here! If you have any beach or coastal trips planned, these would work perfect for a summer vacation shoe! They are on sale for only $39.99. If you order them, size up – they do run small. I ordered a 10 and they just fit.

Straw Bag, $55

Ah, I am obsessed with this bag! The bamboo handle is my favorite part! It’s tropical, coastal preppy and girly all in one. Wear this with all your beachy and nautical inspired outfits!

Lots of Sunshine,

Katie

Aerie Swim Top + Bottom

Seriously, I love anything tropical print Any swimsuit that has ruffles is the best! Especially if you have a small chest like I do. Their a good distraction. 😉 Aerie always has really great swimsuits at affordable prices!

Pineapple One Piece Tie Shoulder Swimsuit, $110

While browsing the internet tonight for new swimsuits, I stumbled upon this adorable Etsy shop that sells matching mommy and me swimsuits. Instantly I fell in love with this pineapple suit!!! It had amazing reviews and the tie is adjustable!

Supergoop SPF Travel Kit, $28

My beach bag is always filled with different sunscreens for my face and body. After my beach day today, I realized I am running super low on my body sunscreen! I have been wanting to try Supergoop since last year and am finally going to make the plunge. I love this travel kit to get a taste of the sunscreen. Once I try it, I will give a thorough review!

Aerie Floral Tie Onepiece, $54.95

How fun is this floral print with tie strap swimsuit? Growing up, I don’t remember having this many cute printed suits to choose from. It’s so girly!

“Birken-Crocks” Sandal, $13.00

Ah, so I have owned these shoes for about a year and a half now and love them! I use them for beach days, gardening, by the pool and taking walks at night. Their super versatile and the dirt rinses right off of them. Bloggers have been calling them Birken-crocks because it’s like birkenstocks and crocks had a baby, ha!

Target Adjustable Visor, $12.99

You may not know this about me but I always wear a visor when I am outside at the beach or pool. My friends always laugh and me because I look like a soccer mom, ha! I love it lightens my hair while still keeping the sun off of my face! This straw one from Target has a tie and can be easily adjusted to fit your head size. It’s nice to be able to tie it tighter for bike rides or windy beach days!

Have you heard on Birken-Crocks before?! I love mine and their a summer staple!
