You say beach I say bright and flowy...and that is exactly what I took on this trip with me. Carlos and I and some dear friends just got back from spending some time in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It was my birthday trip and a much-needed mini-vacation for all of us.
When I started planning outfits for the trip I knew I had to bring a maxi dress or two, they are super comfortable and perfect for dinner. I was initially set on this silky one from Shop Bop but upon searching on Forever 21 I found this yellow one and fell in love with the intricate back and front ruffles. With that price difference from my original choice it was a no-brainer!
I paired it with flat gold sandals, soft earrings and my favorite beaded Anthopologie clutch. Oh and don't mind my extra accessory {that bright wrist band}. We decided to try an all-inclusive resort and spa so I had to wear it all day everyday.
In the next few days I will be sharing some of the outfits I wore during our trip and general advice for packing for a beachy destination.

ReplyDeleteOk first, wow! You look amazing! I've been looking for a beautiful dress like that one. The back may be hard to pull off for me because I have to wear a bra no matter what (big-chest problems!) Do you like Playa Del Carmen? I've been finding Groupons for that beach a lot lately!
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning!!! I love this dress. I am going to Hawaii next week and freaking out as to what to pack! I hope you had a happy birthday!! This trip sounds like a dream!

This dress is beyond gorgeous, and the shoulder ruffle detail is so tasteful and adds a little something special! I never would have guessed this is F21, but then again, they have some pretty amazing pieces! I think I may have to track this one down :-) - you look stunning! Love the photos, gorgeous lady!
