Sunny summer days are upon us and we are always on the search for the perfect swimsuit, the most comfortable sandals,the hollywood sunglasses and the every occasion dress. Its easy to fall in love with what looks good, that sometimes we forget to look for what we actually need. This is where I come in to help. This past weekend as I was enjoying the summer day in a boat with friends, it seemed as if nothing could go wrong. I had the swimsuit, the sandals and I thought I had the perfect dress.
It wasn’t until we were docking and discussing our plans for what to do next that I realized I didn’t really think my outfit choice through. We had made plans to go to dinner…we were starving, the kind of starving that had me eating candy by the handful,which I never do.
It wasn’t until I reached for my cover up I realized that it just wouldn’t do. I had packed it because it worked great as a day dress. It did its job, it matched my bathing suit and it was easy to just throw back on.
Did it work to go out to dinner? No way.
The little dress was the latest trend, practically see through, and had a boxy shape to it and not until I was hit with the dilemna, of do I actually have to go to a restaurant dressed like this? Did I realize that rules from land wear to water wear really shouldnt differ.
I didn’t know that I was throwing away years of experience in figuring out what looked best on me simply because I was on water. If you know what look compliments you the best, dont fall into the latest trend.
In my quest to remedy my mistake I found the Vix Solid Cotton Short Dress cover up on the Manhattanite site. It’s more stylish than the average cover up, so no need to pack an extra set of clothes. Just add heel, red lipstick and this could easily go from water to land.. not just any land, but dinner.
Problem solved.
