Look 1: The Maxi Dress
Dress: Forever 21
Belt: Steve Madden
Earrings and Bead Necklace: JC Penney
Vest: DKNY Jeans Shoe options- Matt Bernson or Seychelles
Tips: your Maxi dress day & night. Through it over a bathing suit and flip flops or layer for a bbq and then add some heels for a night out! Maxi dress give you maximum coverage for long days outside!
Especially great for pear-shaped or tall women. The lean lines of a maxidress helps to elongate and a fitted bust points to the smallest part of the frame.

Look 2: Tunic
Product info
Tunic: Shoshanna tunic
Shorts: Alice + Olivia shorts
Jewelry: New York + Company
gold necklace
Swim: Old Navy purple one piece
Tips: Pack a tunic this weekend and you wont have to worry about changing your outfit several times through out the day! Wear with a pair of shorts to a barbeque and throw on over a bathing suit at the beach.
Tunics are great for small framed women. Sleek, unfussy styles like tunic tops are best for small frames. Poufy details can make a petite figure seem even tinier. And pair it with short shorts like we did here -- the high hem can make squatter legs look a mile long!

Look 3: Summer pants
Product info
Sailor pant: Express
Top: TK
Swim: Tigerlily one piece
Jewelry: Lobster necklace
Shoes: Lilly Pultizer low wedge
TIPS: White pants are a must have for summer! They are versatile for almost any occasion and especially this coming weekend. Throw on for the beach, picnic or night out and stay protected from the sun and bugs!!

Look 4: Romper
Product info:
Romper: Armani Exchange
Swim: LeTarte one piece
Earrings: Claire's
Ring: Forever 21
Shoe options: Calvin Klein sandal

TIPS:
Rompers are the it item this season and are a great transition piece. Throw over a bathing suit and it acts as a cover up or dress up with a pair of dangling earrings and cocktail ring for a chic daytime outfit.
By defining the middle, a romper creates curves on a lean, athletic figure.
