Spring Break Essentials

Long fun filled days exploring and shopping in the city of your choice or relaxing at the beach with a good book in hand... Spring break 2016 is weeks away. I'm hoping I can help you prep for the best spring break yet by making sure you have all the essentials need to have a fun and stylish Spring Break. I'm the type of person to think of every possible situation that could go wrong while out of town and then I end up having triple the amount of clothes packed than what I actually needed to pack, and I know I'm not the only one who does this! So this year I'm keeping the "do I actually need to bring this or is this just going to sit at the bottom of my suitcase for a week"? thought in mind while packing. Over the years of going on Spring break I realized that I always tend to lean towards bringing the same types of clothing and accessories each year so I thought I would share my spring break essentials with you all.

Preppy Spring Break Essentials

 
Baseball Cap- Great for keeping your hair and sun out of your face when at the beach or shopping downtown.
Sunglasses- A cute accessory with the benefits of protecting your eyes from the sun.
Boat Shoes- Comfy and casual great to pair with any spring outfit.
Jacks- Easy to slip on for a day at the beach or wearing them out to brunch or dinner with the family.
Sneakers- Perfect for the "Lazy/Relaxing" day or the I ate a ton of food last night I am going to go work out!
Pullover- Great to put on when walking the beach at night or simply going for a more casual day time look.
Bathing suit- Definitely a necessity when going on spring break. Bright colored bikinis or even a fun printed one piece.
Basic Comfy Tee's- Great to throw over your bathing suit as a cover up or wearing them with running shorts.
( basically my OOTD everyday while on spring break)
Running shorts- Comfy and cute for an everyday look. Keeping it simple is the way to go!
Dresses- Fun Dresses like a Lily dress are great for brunches and dinners with the family.
Watch- A cute and timeless piece that will make it seem like you put effort into your outfit!
Earrings- A great way to add a little bit of sparkle to any look.
Cross body Purse- Easy to carry around and big enough to hold all of your purse essentials.
Tumbler or Water bottle-Always carry a water bottle so you don't get dehydrated while in the sun all day.
Polaroid camera- A perfect way to capture spring break 2016 memories.
Beach Bag- A fun printed beach bag to carry all your beach essentials is the way to go.
 
I  hope you all find my spring break essentials helpful and useful when packing for your trip. Let me know in the comments below where you're headed to for spring break 2016!

The First of many posts...Welcome!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Prim & Prep a fashion blog for all things preppy. I'm Caitlin a seventeen year old junior in high school. I'm currently residing in Michigan with the dream of one day being able to live along the East Coast to really experience the preppy lifestyle. I want to go to school for Fashion Merchandising and Design and one day hopefully I will be successful in the fashion industry with my own thriving preppy clothing and accessory business and brand.
 
I've always envisioned writing and creating a fashion blog to share my everyday style and thoughts in general. On this blog you will find everything from preppy essentials, everyday outfits, seasonal look books, clothing hauls, reviews, and sometimes maybe just what's going on in life!
 
I hope you all will enjoy my blog and if you have any suggestions or ideas that would like to see on this blog please leave them in the comments below. I also plan on posting three to four times a week so make sure you follow so you can be the first to see when I post. I would also recommend checking out my social media pages which I will be constantly updating so you all can get a even closer look at my everyday life. My links are located on the right side bar!
