With Spring break and Summer on the horizon, we know everyone's got beach plans on their radar. To ease the stress of prevacation prep, our Limited Edition Resort Must Have box is packed with all of the goodies you'll need to be the savviest and most stylish one on your tropical getaway.
Each Limited Edition box is curated around a different theme and only available for a short time. Those who were lucky enough to get their hands on this one will find a versatile beach shrug by Roberta Roller Rabbit (retail $95) that'll take you from the beach to the street with ease. Best of all: this color variant is exclusive to our POPSUGAR Must Have subscribers, so you'll be sure to stand out in a style that's truly unique. Read on to see how we're styling this boho accessory to maximize its wear throughout the week so you have more time to soak in the sun without worrying about what to wear or pack.
Pro tip: this shrug is too sheer to wear on its own, so make sure you have a swimsuit or tank top underneath when rocking any of these styles.

Keep It Classic
Wear your shrug in its traditional, kimono-style form by slipping your arms through the designated armholes. You can throw this on over a swimsuit or as an added layer to punch up any simple tank and shorts look on those cooler tropical nights.

Take It to the Street
For a style you can sport while hunting down unique souvenirs in local boutiques or anytime you’re not soaking up the sun by the water, flip the shrug around to create a short-sleeved dress. Start by slipping your head through the neck strap and placing your arms through the armholes. Next, tie the remaining fabric behind you for a revealing low back detail. Throw on some sandals and your favorite carry-all tote and you’re ready to explore the town's most historic landmarks or enjoy a tropical happy hour at sunset.

A Modified Dress
To keep cool on the hottest of days, throw the neck strap over your head to create a breezy sleeveless dress. Just be sure to secure it in the back using the remaining fabric.

Tease Your Bikini
Cover up en route to the beach or pool while still revealing a bit of what’s underneath. Starting with the original kimono-style look, simply tie a knot just above your stomach to keep your chic swimsuit partially concealed until you’re ready to fully show it off.

The Half Wrap
Not the type to strut around in just your bikini? This wrap has got you covered — literally. Get creative by folding the shrug in half and using the sleeves to secure at the side for a skirt-like style that exposes just the right amount of skin.
