Beach Dress Up - Cover Up Ideas for Beachwear

Has the cold weather gotten your mind wandering to warmer places? After a long pregnancy, three months with a new baby, and a cold Seattle winter, I'm off to a sunny vacay very soon. Cannot wait to step onto the beach!

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried to get rid of baby weight, I still carry extra baggage down below. Beachwear? Sure. Cover up? Soooooo necessary.

How about you? headed to the beach too? If you also need cover up ideas for beachwear, here are a few to consider:

1. Sarongs


Sarongs are simply pieces of fabric with various patterns, prints and sizes. They are easy to wear, and easy on the eye. Wrap them around your chest, drape them off your shoulders, or tie them around your waist or neck -- you can wear them as dress, skirt or accessory. 

(For a secure tie, purchase sarong ties from Fair Winds Sarongs at http://www.fairwindssarongs.com/sarongties.html.)
 

2. Sundresses


Don't sundresses scream "summer time?" They are cute, fun and breezy. Just top them over bikinis or bathing suits, and you are ready to go. 
 

3. Tunics


With the right type of fabric -- linens are great, by the way -- tunics make dream beachwear cover up. You can wear them tanning on the beach, or having a cold beer on the boardwalk.
 

4. Rompers


Rompers are fun and sexy. They are the newest style to hit blogosphere. Now, they are invading the beach. 
 

5. Tank Maxi Dresses


Maxi dresses are still going strong. Not only are they classy, they are also comfortable to wear. Add a tank to the top part, you are ready for ocean view.
 

6. Drawstring Pants


Drawstring pants on the beach are like pajamas on Sundays. They are relaxed, roomy and so easy to wear.
 

7. Caftan Dresses


These flowy dresses are super sexy and comfy. Try them with a pair of gladiator sandals or straw wedges.
 

8. Ponchos


Like caftan dresses, ponchos provide comfy cover up. Plus, they look quite seductive in crochet.


Hope you are enjoying the weekend so far, and staying warm.

 

Any vacation plans yet?
