Beach Beckoning

I’m not sure what’s in the air these days, but all I can think about is laying on a beach somewhere. Of course, all this talk about visiting California doesn’t help either. I’m betting that Spring’s delay has a lot to do with it. For some reason, the heat is still turning on in my building, and the nights are as chilly as ever here in New York. At least, for those two hours in the day, when it’s the sunniest, it feels like Springtime.

So when a girl dreams of getting a tan and laying on the beach with a good book, she goes immediately shopping for an appropriate wardrobe to wear at such leisurely activities. A lesson learned the hard way over the years, it’s always prudent to purchase swimsuits early, rather than scrounging around for sizes and style later in the game. So, this opportunity with searsStyle couldn’t have come at a better time!With a mission to find a beach-perfect ensemble, I entered the field — of racks, that is. On my checklist was a swimsuit, a coverup, and possible accessories that included but not limited to sandals, hats, sunnies, and a beach bag. At the end, I purchased an adorable crochet bikini, cute coverup and faux-leather sandals. Each time I shop at sears, I feel like I’m getting such a deal. All three items were on sale, and at checkout, I managed another 15% discount with my Shop Your Way account, a rewards program that I recently signed up for (free!).

I’ve always wanted a crochet bikini, and now I’m excited to own one. There was also a set in white, which I loved as well. Who knows, I may go back for it. I tend of have a bad habit of getting the same items in different colors — especially if I love the said item. I’m predictable like that. As predictable as the color palette of my chosen items. White…pink. Now, where have we seen that before? ;)
