I always say it’s better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. While a lace dress isn’t normally my go-to beach outfit, the intrigue of this unexpected look sets an impactful scene. I actually got this Diane von Furstenberg dress to wear to my wedding rehearsal and haven’t worn it since. When I saw it hanging in the corner of my closet, I decided to bring it out for some fun. Sometimes you just have to wear what you want, even if you might be slightly (or majorly) over-dressed. So, the next time you see a great dress and think, “I love it, but I have nowhere to wear it,” get it anyway and find a place to wear it. If that occasion never arises, wear it to the beach.
