Happy Friday Eve! I’m still getting caught up on a backlog of photos from my recent trips and have actually been holding off on sharing this dress until it went on sale — and that day is finally here!! This tropical maxi dress is absolutely gorgeous for the summer (especially if you’re planning a tropical vacay!) and it’s now marked down with an additional 30% off — it’s nearly 50% off of its original list price and you get free shipping too!
The Perfect Tropical Maxi Dress
Vertical stripes are definitely my jam and I just love how they create the illusion of extra height (I’m only 5′ tall so I need all the help I can get!). I wore this dress to dinner one night while I was in Maui and it’s perfect for concealing any food babies so you can indulge! The chiffon fabric of this tropical maxi dress is breezy and lightweight; while the back has a gorgeous lace-up detail. I did my hair in a side-swept fishtail braid to keep the hair off my neck and I just love how it gives subtle mermaid vibes!
