Skirt to Beach Bag

John's mom recently gave me a bunch of her old clothes including a really cute blue skirt with mustard yellow floral pattern. I was really attracted to the colors and pattern but it just wasn't the right fit. Just in time before giving it away, I found this Skirt to Purse DIY and realized I could easily up-cycle that skirt into a beautiful beach bag. I love the way my beach bag turned out and it was really simple to make. I definitely used it every day this past week. Check out the step by step over on Sincerely, Kinsey to make your own! 

Another staple for me this summer has been this crochet top from In The Hammock Vintage. I've been loving it as a cover-up on the beach or with something under + some cut off shorts.
