fast break for spring

In 2.5 days I will be jetting off to the lovely dominican republic. Because my friends are totally awesome and on the same page as me, we'll be staying in a funky little bungalow in a small, off-the-beaten-path surf town. I'm hoping to spend my days surfing, paddleboarding, and my nights drinking beers on the beach. Excited is an understatement.

Over the last week I've been working on the trip's playlists, and now that I've got my jams sorted, it's time to move on to my wardrobe.

I'm thinking preppy basics like white denim and chambray shirts, mixed with neoprene neons, friendship bracelets, and tribal patterns. Think psycadelic summertime sailing safari.

I love the idea of throwing on some vintage mens swim trunks on a hot summer day. They seem like they'd be quite breezy no? I would pair them with worn out striped sweatshirts, blousy button downs, and white converses.

While I'm planning on hitting up some of the second hand stores to find my version of this look, you can buy the fabulous shorts featured in these photos at strong boalt.
