There’s nothing more gratifying than the welcoming warm sun that marks the beginning of summer, officially. Besides the beautiful beach weather to be excited about, I’m finding myself eager for each weekend home to sport the newer bikini additions to my swimwear wardrobe – including this perfect beach day look from cover up to beach bag thanks to friends at Echo.

Sadly I never truly worked on my beachwear attire until this year but when you have prints in the best of patterns available, you can guarantee you 1) will stand out on the beach with a print more bold than all those solid sets and 2) everything you bring to the beach will be adored & more.

OUTFIT DETAILS

Echo Swim & Beach: cover-up, bikini set, beach bag,  beach hat

The amount of compliments I’ve received on this cover up & bikini set alone, along with the neutral yet substantial forms of headwear and tote bag, is a record high! There’s something about the boldness of the combined prints that turns heads as well as makes you quite distinctive amongst the sandy sea of less-exciting bikini and cover up sets.

Plus having a hat that gives you max coverage when you need a break from the sun and having a bag to store it when you decide for more is always a great beach essential. Beach bags are such an important purchase when spending days at the beach because you want something easy to carry but large enough to hold everything you plan to bring with you. If you’re like me and pretty much pack a day’s worth of activities for a few hours of sun & sand, then this is the bag you need for your beach journeys.
