An inspiring quote was sent along to me today by one of my besties: “Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn’t STOP to ENJOY it” ~ William Feather. I hope this speaks to you as much as it has to me!
To me, a big part of enjoying life + happiness is vacation… where you can left your mind drift, relax and surround yourself with the ones you love! I love vacation! I love the beach, I love warm weather and sand in my tootsies! I would trade a Paris vaca for a Grecian Isle getaway at anytime. Yesterday I bloggedabout our girls weekend away to the sunny beaches of Miami and I received a handful of emails regarding my cover-up, earrings, etc… which prompted my post for today!
I love getting ready for the beach or pool {at times}, but if you’re like me then you’re a sweater and swim in sunscreen {I’m petrified of wrinkles}, so there’s no sense in dazzling yourself in the most exotic silk cover-up! I like to dress the part without paying the price, so today ladies, here’s my treat to you… a Forever21 beach ensemble! I scored all of this {minus the bikini} from F21 for a grand total of $100! Not too shabby considering typically a pair of snazzy wedges are well over $100. The swimsuit is my ALL TIME fav, I purchased it from Vicki’s last year and it’s still there for a whopping $64… so basically your fine self can sport this sultry combination for $164.00! {TIP: I typically don’t look for actual “cover-ups” I dig through the shirt sections instead}.
So for those who have commented and emailed about my cover-up {I know, it’s HOT} but I’m proud to say that I have some of the most stylist friends and I borrowed this from a bestie {thank you Brandy}! She purchased it from Vicki’s but unfortunately it’s no longer available. Sad face! Everything else that I wore to the pool belonged to ‘moi’… Steve Madden Platforms, F21 earrings, of course my Russian Red MAC lipglass, Michael Kors shads and hair pinned up. That’s all folks!
