i typically have a pretty standard pool uniform (jcrew bikini, white cover up dress, slim fit metallic havaianas), but these bombsh girls have inspired me to try something new. meet the button down– a new, slightly edgier option for hitting the beach and covering your bikini. best of all? i bet you already have one…so no shopping required.

want to test the waters? dive in with these five combos to try:

1. plaid shirt 2. tassel bikini 3. gold cuff  4. panama hat

1. sheer shirt 2. mikoh bikini (top, bottom) 3. turban

1. striped men’s shirt 2. patterned bikini 3. floppy sun hat

1. ruched one piece 2. linen tunic 3. straw hat 4. leather sandals

1. linen shirt 2. cowboy hat 3. kiini bikini

I don’t know about you, but I am READY for the weekend! TGIF chic peas! Hope you get to enjoy the weather.
