My Outfit Monday: Beach Blanket Bingo
Greetings from New Smyrna Beach! I’m wrapping up a fabulous beach vacation and figured since I mentioned it, oh, about 400 times in previous posts, I should put up some pics to prove I wasn’t making it all up.
My beach look isn’t fancy, as you can see from this photo (left) from my family’s lovely beach home balcony. But this is real: Purple Target board shorts, Target pocket tee, no shoes, no makeup, hair lookin’ like Joan Jett on a bender. This is how I looked for much of the trip.
I also broke out a cute baby blue romper (right), also from Target, which was comfy enough to sleep in, which was good, because I did a lot of sleeping. I wore my $16 Nordstrom aqua blue mirror shades everywhere. Love them.
Finally, a word on Target bikinis: Do not try to swim, surf or do any other kind of activity in them. I repeat, do not try to swim, surf or do any other kind of activity in them. I learned the hard way. More on this later from Deal Diva Stephanie, who is planning a longer diatribe on Target bikinis, to be posted at a later date.
Still, I liked my bikini enough to post this recreation of a famous Bettie Page photo, though instead of a pretty flower in my hair, I had to make do with a patch of seaweed.
