Don't worry about buying (and trying on, ack!) a new bikini - dig up an old top and revive it with some fun appliqué.

Because you're gonna need a way to get all your stuff out there!

Stop trying to stuff that oversized beach towel in your bag and make an easy roll-up version to sling over your shoulder instead.

A basic pair of flip flops and a t-shirt are all you need to make a fun pair of ankle wrap sandals!

Or cut that tee up into an adorable little halter top to toss on over your swimwear.

Tote your drinks in style with a wine bag made from an old pair of jeans.

For when you're finally motivated to make your way off of your towel for some physical activity.

Going straight from the beach to dinner? Toss on a cute tank dress and no one will be the wiser!

And a little bit of beach chic jewelry doesn't hurt either.

Or maybe you're just dreaming of the beach this weekend...
