To the Beach: Kimono Cover Up

 Swimsuit: Top and Bottoms // Kimono: Nordstrom, similar here and here // Shorts: One Teaspoon // Bag: Nordstrom // Pom Keychain: ASOS, love this and this // Sunnies: Quay // 

Happy Friday! 

Anybody else looking forward to the weekend as much as I am??

This is one of the last posts from my recent trip to Cancun. This was probably one of my favorite beach combos I wore all week! I had been looking for a scalloped swimsuit for some time and when I found this adorable option (under $60 for both pieces!), I had to purchase it! I paired it with my favorite denim shorts and a sweet kimono. 

If you are headed on a beach vacation any time I soon, I highly recommend picking up a kimono to take with you! It makes for the perfect swim cover up, but can also double as a light layer for evening wear! I am linking a few of my favorite options below!

Black Maxi Dress

 Dress: c/o Impressions Boutique // Bag: c/o Hayden Reis // Necklaces: Cactus Necklace - Nordstrom (similar), Feather Lariat Necklace c/o Alexandra Gioia //
Shoes: ASOS // Hat: Nordstrom, similar here // 

Every girl needs a black maxi dress in her wardrobe. It's a classic staple that can be styled a ton of different ways, but still looks good just thrown on with some jewelry and sandals! I have a few black maxi's at my disposal and they are always the first thing I reach for in the spring and summer time when I have no idea what to wear! 

This option from Impressions Boutique's very own Meritt line is PERFECT. It has an extremely flattering fit with a high neckline. What truly makes this maxi great though...? POCKETS! 

I actually wore this to work yesterday with a chambray button down and have also already paired it with a denim jacket. Cheers to the perfect (and most versatile) piece of clothing in my wardrobe!

Boho Off the Shoulder Top

The countdown to summer break has officially begun!

We are almost in the teens, guys! 

This teacher is excited for a relaxing summer with days at the lake, especially after a hectic summer of wedding planning last year! 

The weather has been a little iffy lately, going from 80's to 60's and back again, making the daily process of getting ready a little difficult, but I've pulled out my summer staples and they aren't going anywhere until September! 

This top from HER Boutique is definitely going to be a repeat offender this summer! I am obsessed with the off the shoulder style, the fun print and the tassel ties...3 of my favorite things all mixed into one! Paired with some cutoff shorts and a pair of gladiator sandals, this is a look that screams easy, breezy summertime! 

Floral and Lace Kimono

 Kimono: The Eve Overlay in Key Largo Floral c/o Impressions Boutique // Top: Nordstrom // Shorts: BlankNYC // Shoes: Dolce Vita // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // 

Today's look is one of my FAVORITE combinations! You can find me in some form of this outfit at least once a week during the summertime! A tee and denim shorts paired with a kimono is an effortlessly easy look that can be dressed up or down. It's perfect for traveling or for a date night depending on the accessories you pair with it! I could definitely see myself wearing this on an upcoming road trip with sandals and jeans (or even leggings).

This kimono comes from Impressions Boutique. I have been shopping there for awhile now, and was so excited to see that they started carrying Merritt, an exclusive in-house brand. All of the pieces are extremely versatile and perfect for spring and bonus? They are totally affordable! While shopping the site I noticed the even had these fabulous shorts!
