Tribal Beach

 

Today's Beach Playdate outfit. The inspiration was from In-Style June issue: 

This is basic but it was just another combo to create with tribal print shorts I had purchased from F21 a while back. This also reminded me I really need to buy some essential  'swing away' tanks like in the photo.
I first tried this with a white tank and it just didn't do it. This taupe color was better.

 This green stone necklace from Turkey was perfect and simple. Also added couple bangles. I do want to get more thin gold bangles. That is also on my list.

My old green beaded flip flops....

 Morning was chilly so I added a khaki cardigan. Took the hat to protect from the sun but it was never sunny so didn't wear it...

 Cardigan - Guess

Tank, Shorts, Hat - Forever 21

Flip flops - Target

Necklace - From Turkey

Bangles - Ruche

This morning's activities: Had our usual Monday playdate this time at my friend's house who lives a block from the beach. We did our usual routine of having the kids play first then go to the beach then coming back for lunch and some more playtime. It was chilly and overcast but following our own promise of taking advantage of summer regardless of the weather we didn't care. Of course my daughter managed to get totally wet and covered in sand so had to bring her back completely naked and washed at my friend's outside shower.
Hence you can see 3 little girls in the wagon pulled by 3 eager boys!

Going to a 'Grub Crawl' event this afternoon/night with friends and family. My birthday is coming up this weekend so I negotiated 2 nights off this week from my husband! The girls are taking me out for my b-day Thursday night.Will post tonight's outfit and photos later tomorrow probably.
