Outfit: Surfer Girl

Do you love spending the day catching waves or skate boarding? Being a tom boy and hating girly stuff? Tend to opt for tiny shorts over a sundress? Or do you just like the ultra casual style of a Surfer Girl? In this style anything can be thrown over a bathing suit, and while being super casual is also incredibly cute. Here are three outfits that are beach ready.

Outfit #1:

This is perfect for a hot day out and about. Classic Ray-Ban sunglasses go perfectly with the Brandy Melville Tank. The orange and white and Old Navy flip flops work well with the bright undershirt, from forever 21. The dark wash denim shorts are from Pac Sun.

Outfit #2

This outfit is great for after a swim, nice and loose. The boyfriend jeans are from gap and the lace top from Tilly's. The pink hoodie is from American Apparel and comes in so many colors. The leather flip flops are from Abercrombie and Fitch.

Outfit #3

This outfit is great for a day at the beach or walking down the boardwalk. These trendy shorts with the braided belt are from Abercrombie & Fitch, and the cable knit sweater is as well. Wear your bathing suit underneath if you are going to take a swim, like this one from Indah. Lastly, some cute sandals will bring it all together and these ones from forever 21 are great. If you feel like it, add some red Ray-Bans too.

Trend: Heavy Jewelry

Personally, I dislike wearing a lot of jewelry, even certain earrings I refuse to wear. In fashion, heavy jewelry is very in. Earrings that touch your shoulders, bangles the size of half your forearm, enough necklaces to lasso a horse. Here are some gorgeous pieces of jewelry that are sure to have you doing some heavy weight lifting.

Earrings:

A note on choosing jewelry...
If you are tan, have dark or olive skin go with gold jewelry for a nice look. If you are pale, have light skin or a peachy tone wear silver or white jewelry.
