This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Elon chapter.

Secrets to Pulling off the Trendiest Looks for Spring Break on a College Budget 

 

1. Fabulous Swimsuit

 

Cupshe is the best place to get designer bathing suit looks for less. With a variety of the latest bikinis and one pieces, all swimwear has a tropical look perfect for lying by the beach this SB!

2. Shades

 

An absolute must have this spring! No need to spend hundreds on Ray Bans, Quay Australia sunnies are a new alternative that provide a chic look with any outfit.

3. Flappy Sun Hat

 

A flappy sun hat provides so much more than just style. Elegant and functional, they also shield your face from the hot powerful rays while enjoying a day in the sun this spring break.

4. Cover Up 

 

Your beach look is not complete without a cover up. Rose Gal offers an array of different styles from long sleeve, to v-neck and even crochet. Most are available in posh colors and designs that won’t break your budget!

5. Tanning Lotion 

 

San Tropez is my personal favorite self tanning product ever! Never streaky or blotchy, this product provides an all natural glow that matches your specific skin tone.

6. Bright Mani Pedi

No vacation can begin without a satisfying mani-pedi. Whether it’s with your mom or girlfriends, kick off a relaxing week with brightly polished nails.

7. A Good Read: Fashion Mag or Romance Novel

 

Catching up with the world of fashion is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Cosmopolitan never disappoints, but neither does a passionate Nicholas Sparks novel!

8. A Good Drink: Tropical Treat

Nothing makes me happier than a fruity drink on the beach. Congrats you’ve survived first half of spring semester, cheers!
