Dress: Old Navy | Bracelets: From Dekalb Market (Brooklyn), featured here | Ring: Nolan (boutique in Nolita) | Hat: H&M | Sunglasses: Cole Haan
This look was the first outfit I threw on after our arrival in Barbados. Nothing beats that very moment when you change from your travel ensemble in order to fully embrace the start of your holiday!
For me, this nautical-themed maxi (a total steal from Old Navy Maternity!) was just the perfect garb to make me feel “beach-ready.” I wasn’t ready to put on my bikinis yet (tough later I was practically living in them), but I knew I wanted something easy, breezy, and completely different from office-wear.
Feeling the powder soft sand beneath my feet was a complete hallelujah moment for me. My puffy feet have been extremely swollen of late (they’ve been getting worse and worse since my return from Lisbon), though a couple of days of swimming in the ocean and wearing nothing but flip flops have done them some good!
Note: I plan on getting a lot of mileage out of this maxi dress this summer. It would look super cute with a little biker jacket or a mustard yellow wrap – don’t you think? Though you can’t see it too well from the photos, the halter neckline is also extremely flattering, not to mention uber comfortable. Seriously, how could you go wrong?
