Looking ahead…

It’s not quite summer yet, but we are gettin’ ready for it!  Lots of sunny days ahead means pool time, wave running at the lake, and hopefully sitting on a beach somewhere.  We have plans to be in San Diego for a little trip this summer and I can’t wait!  Today I am sharing the 13 best swim cover ups I’ve seen as I’ve been searching for all the fun summer wear. I love a cover up that makes a statement. And these are all so cute and I think they would be perfect for the pool or beach.

Best Cover Ups for Summer

1.  The Beach Wrap Skirt – I love the look of this long flowy skirt and it comes in a bunch of colors so you’ll be sure to find the perfect one for whatever suit you wear!
2. The Bohemian Style Dress with Tie Waist – The pretty sleeves make this dress a winner! It also comes in lots of different colors.
3. The White Knit Wide Pant with Tassles – These have a “short” built-in for a little more coverage and then waffle knit fabric the rest of the way down the leg.  Also comes in a pretty sand color.
4. The Crochet Fringe Dress – The fringe steals the show and will attract attention from everyone at the beach! It also comes in white.
5. The Ruffle Hem Knit Pants – Throw a t-shirt or a tank over these pants and you’ll be good to go! I can just imagine how good these would feel to walk in.  😉
6. The Smocked Wide Leg Pants – Just throw these darling pants over your swimsuit and you’re ready to go from pool to lunch in gauzy, covered comfort.
7. The Long Crochet Dress –  This dress is stunning! The length, the sleeves, the tie waist, and the slit … what’s not to love?? It also comes in several colors to match your suit perfectly.
8. The Button-Down Dress – Features wood buttons that can be buttoned or left open duster-style.
9. The Sheer Tie Front Kimono – I saw this on one of my friends and it’s so feminine and flattering! Again, comes in other colors and styles.
10. The Sag Harbor Hooded Cover Up – I have this and love it! It is a little bit pricier than these others, but it has UPF 50+ sun protection on top of being so darn cute! You won’t worry about burning through sheer fabric with coverups from Cabana Life.
11. The Striped Crochet Dress – Tassels are just so fun this season!!  Imagine this with a cute cowboy style straw hat and sandals!
12. The White Embroidered Maxi Dress – I love love love the statement that this pretty dress makes! It has a UPF rating of 50+ sun protection and the pom poms add so much pretty character to an already stunning dress.
13. The Cover Up Shirtdress – This cool cotton number can be worn open or closed with the tie at the waist. A very casual, yet structured look for poolside or to stroll along the beach.

Here was my go-to suit and cover up combo last year.

If you’re like me, you’re going to need some SELF TANNER! Well, I’ve got you covered.  I have a newfound love for this one. It provides excellent color… like EXCELLENT.  And it doesn’t smell bad at all!  I know it’s a bit pricey, but you’ll love it.

If you are looking for something a little more affordable, this duo below will keep you tan all summer long at a great price!
