Target Style: Weekend Getaway Essentials
We’d be lying if we said we weren’t dreaming of some fabulous, sun-soaked weekend getaway right about now. For those of you lucky enough heading somewhere warm, we’ve rounded up a slew of weekend essentials to ensure you’ll look chic at all times! Below are our must-pack items you can find all on Target.com!
Packing Essentials
1. Vibrant Swimsuit: Whether you prefer a bikini or one-pice, Target has so many bold and colorful swimsuits to choose from! When it comes to bikini’s don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and prints. As far as one pieces, look for cutouts and bold patterns that help you make a statement!
2. Large Brim Hat: If you don’t already have a large brim hat or a Panama hat, definitely add that to your list. They are the epitme of seaside glam.
3. The Ultimate Cover Up (or two…or three): A girl can never have too many cover ups, right? They are so easy to throw on and off when you’re headed to and from the beach or to grab a bite to eat. All three of our top picks below from Target can easily be dressed up or down pending the occasion!
4. Shades: The most important packing essential! Sunglasses are our favorite accessory as they are both functional and stylish. Not only do they protect you from UV rays but they are the finishing touch to any ensemble! Be sure to find a style that fits your face but don’t be afraid to test the waters with a new shape like a cat eye or an out-of-the-box print.
5. Sandals: Flat sandals as you can imagine are another packing essential. Target has so many styles to choose from it seriously is difficult to narrow down to just three!
