There is just something about a maxi dress that is feminine and quite relaxing to wear. Maybe, it's because there is an extra long skirt that can flip around and can be twirled so prettily, or maybe it's because the extra length simply doesn't allow for too many false moves where everyone can see your underwear - just saying! The less I want to wear pants, because of the super heat here in Florida, the more I am prone to substitute with a maxi dress. Ever since I laid eyes on this flowy, summery, palm print maxi from Urban Outfitters, I have been in love. The layered multi pieces in the skirt overlap so that it covers everything, but it also allows the dress to flow beautifully as you walk, and adds the needed breeze every so often to your bottom half. This is just one of the many maxis I will be wearing all Summer long. And if green isn't your color, it also comes in a fabulous red floral print, too! xo RCN
Lighthouse Stripes
One of my favorite things about Miami Beach is the lifeguard stands. Each beach has a unique stand, designed or painted in theme. One Americana, one lighthouse, one (or two) that look like the Jetsons live in it, some with flowers, stripes, neon color. It's a pleasure to walk along the water and take a gander at these brilliant structures. Last weekend, Z and I took a stroll to our frequently visited beach and snapped some pics. I mean, what a coincidence I was matching the stand? Not a coincidence ;) Looks like red stripes are in, everywhere! I love my candy striper tank, but my favorite part about this casual weekend look is the jean shorts. They were a steal from the Rack, and they fit so comfortably. Perfect for a beach walk!
