One of the best things about being at the beach is that a casual outfit works for almost every occasion. Whether you are heading out for a nice dinner or plan to walk through town and shop, keep it casual and comfortable whenever you can! We stopped in at Sands Department Store and found the perfect summer-night outfit. Mud Pie merchandise is stylish and not overly expensive. The Esley Flounce dress buttons up the front and can be worn as a dress or a cover-up. The V-neckline and flounce side panels give the cut some style, so it doesn’t just hang off you. The bright colors are just what you need for a summer night. Typically, when the sun goes down, so does the temperature. Add in the ocean breeze and it’s always a good idea to bring a jacket or sweater with you when heading out at night. We love the Barker striped cardigan, also part of the Mud Pie collection. This ribboned knit sweater has a V-neck and cream tortoise buttons that dress it up a bit. For your feet, these Lofty Lux Hi sandals by Reef come in a Malibu Pink color that just screams summer! Reef is a well-known shore brand, making shoes out of sustainable materials. These have a square toe, small heel, leather straps, and recycled rubber outsole. They are going to be your go-to shoes all summer long! For your essentials and a few other things, the Weekend Everyday Cooler Tote by Mud Pie is a must-have this summer. This braided jute cooler tote is fully insulated, making it perfect for storing your favorite drinks or snacks. And the top zip closure will keep everything inside. It’s cute enough to carry with any outfit and no one will know you are carrying snacks on the go! The summer sun is hot, and sometimes feels the hottest just before it goes down. A hat is a great accessory but will also give your eyes some shade and keep you cool. This pink-striped, hand-woven straw fedora is also from Mud Pie and is giving all the beach vibes. The striped paper straw fedora has a grosgrain ribbon accent band. The band features a hot pink color, pulling your whole outfit together with perfection. The interior of the fedora has an adjustable feature, making it easy to size the hat to fit your head perfectly and it won’t fly off when there’s a breeze. Finally, you can’t forget to protect your eyes. You will love these aviators from Bajio. They are blue light blocking, polarized, and completely sustainable. The rose gold frame is very feminine, making those selfies model material!
