Happy Wednesday! Whew this week is flying. We are currently loving life at the beach! I love coming here because there are some many great traditions we do every year, it’s just such a fun time with family. We all read books on the beach and trade them when we are finished and go get ice cream after every meal. It is a trip I look forward to every year. Andrew and I dated all through out high school and college so I have been coming on this beach trip for quite some time, it’s even more fun now that we are married. For a night we go out to eat I brought this outfit below along and can’t wait to wear it!

^^ So lets start with this necklace. It was one that came with my Rocksbox subscription this month. It is a Kate Spade marble bar necklace. I absolutely LOVE it. I feel like it was simple enough to wear with this look to the beach, but really could be dressed up if I wanted to wear it with a dress to church. Paired it with my favorite gold bangles and now I have simple jewelry I can wear on repeat while at the beach. You can get one month free with the code Simplydarlingsxoxo.

^^  It actually rained our second day at the beach and therefore we, of course, headed to the outlet malls! There just so happens to be a J Crew factory there. I already had these shorts in white but picked up the exact same pair for $16! I really want to try to get them in red next, I mean I am obsessed. At 50% off, they are a great length, come in SO many colors and have an elastic waistband. What more could you really need in a pair of shorts? Also, if you get to Starbucks and ask for the pink drink this is what you are given and it’s Heavenly!

^^ This top doesn’t actually come with a tie, I just keep wearing it like this because I feel like it’s just so dang cute! I am a sucker for a good OTS top, but when you add Gingham to it gracious it is too much cute!  I couldn’t wait to style it with all the outfits when I got home. I think it also a really cute piece to have at the beach that you can take home and wear the rest of summer, but also transitions well into Fall.

^^ If you have been following along on Instagram then you know I took these shoes along with me to the beach this weekend. I am officially obsessed, they are my favorite part of this outfit. I mean pink shoes for goodness sake. They are platform espadrilles, that are extremely comfortable and comes in a number of colors and combinations. The best part is they are less than $30, you can’t beat that price.

I hope you are having the best week! We are off to try a new restaurant tonight and take some family pictures! Gotta love a good old family beach trip.
