Hey Trend Hungry readers! It’s Natalie from Fashionably Broke again, back to share the second item on our summer essentials must-have list, the best summer beach tote. And it turns out I like my beach totes like I like my hair. Okay, that happens to be a lie and this time it’s just a coincidence, but let’s just say it’s true for the sake of this post being cute!

I’m talking about my love of ombré. The dip dye effect of graduated color on really anything is a hit in my style diary these days. I crush over an ombré tote not only because it’s unique beauty, but because of how easily it pairs with so many of my summer outfits. An ombré tote is my perfect happy medium between a bold print and a neutral color.

Target is usually a great place to start for the price conscious fashionista, and they really proved me right when it came to beach totes this summer. So, my best summer tote pick is an Ombré Straw Tote ( please use this link for the tote from Target. But, I won’t argue with it if you so chose to splurge on the very similar Nantucket Ombré tote from Mar Y Soll.
