Floral Fantasy Romper With Free People

Get the floral fantasy look by channeling your inner boho girl and turning up the dial on your style. In this week's Coast to Coast Style Series, Alina, Johnnalynn and myself are embracing the flirty and sultry summer look with floral printed dresses and rompers from Free People. Like I mentioned in my last post, I have a current obsession with bohemian style. I love how carefree and easy going the look can be. It's truly all about fun details that give your outfit an overall earthy feel. 

To achieve the playful boho style, start by choosing a floral or paisley printed dress, top, or romper. I opted for this open side floral printed romper with delicate ties around the neck. I found the drapey cut-outs on the bottom to be so visually interesting. Next, pile on some delicate accessories like this neutral wrap bracelet from Aaraa accessories. Lastly, finish off the look with something fringed. I choose this leather cross-body bag with simple fringe zippers on the sides.

This is totally a romantic look where high fashion meets low maintenance. It's perfect for a fancy date on a hot summer day. I actually wore this out with my boyfriend for cocktails on the beach. Since the fabric is sheer, you will need to wear a little something underneath. I recommend little black shorts (the spandex type) and a black bralette. I have also worn this romper as a cover-up (and received a boat load of compliments). I think rompers are unexpected at the beach because most girls wear sundresses or denim shorts. The bright floral bright colors are fun, and the loose silhouette makes it casual.

Spring Getaway: Easy Beach Essentials

Everyone deserves a little getaway. A break from all the madness. I encourage you all to take more time for yourself to reflect and recover. It's vital in order to keep up with those busy schedules! I just returned from a quick vacation with the bf. I'm feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the week. Well at least for a day or so ;).

When visiting tropical locations you can always count on the weather to be unpredictable. For this reason, it's important to pack items that are easy to layer. A light weight sweater is everything you need to pull together a beach chic outfit. You can even travel to and from your vacation destination in it. Later, use it as a cover-up! The styling options are endless. 

I get so much use out of this loose-knit sweater . Any clothing item with lace detailing wins me over. For a quick beach outfit, you can pair with denim shorts and a simple gold plated necklace. Side note: I have a tiny obsession with dainty layering necklaces thanks to my stylish co-worker, Jax. She got me hooked!

Hope this look inspires you to book a tropical getaway and pack efficiently (something I need to work on as well).  XO,
