I love beach vacations because a “put together” outfit includes throwing on a maxi dress and a floppy hat over your bikini. I wore a version of this outfit almost every day on my vacation last week. It was glorious. This maxi dress is becoming one of my favorites. It fits in all the right places and the pattern isn’t something that I would usually choose for myself.

My husband and I took a stroll on the beach one night in Nikoi to watch the sunset over the clear blue water and he took these photos.
