Hey guys!! It is almost the weekend!!! So I have to tell you, when I originally ordered this dress for UNDER $18!!!! I had all intentions of wearing it and doing my shoot on the beach. I was going to have pina coladas with umbrellas in my drink, this super sweet pineapple, round beach towels and etc. Then I realized – while a lot of my readers are from Florida and the coast – not all of you are and I wanted to show you that you can wear this dress just about anywhere this summer. It can be worn as a dress or as a bathing suit cover up. I will probably wear it as a dress a hand full of times and then switch it over to a cover up. I absolutely love the tassel detail on the back and the ruffled hem! This dress also comes in a super sweet blue and white stripe for only a few dollars more – still under $25!
I paired it with super simple, clean white flip flops from Oka-b because a. they are extremely comfortable and easy to clean, (one swipe with a magic eraser and they look brand new) and b. I wanted to be able to slip them on and off easily. As much as I love a lace up or gladiator sandal, they are not always the easiest to slip on and off quickly.
