Thanks to some last minute, spur-of-the-moment trips (one with friends and one with family), I've spent an inordinate amount of time lately in the South Pacific. I have, of course, done my best to rise to the challenge though (!), and dress myself appropriately. And by that I mean: cheap and cheerful dresses that work on and off the beach and back at home! Like the last-year Mango, above, which I shortened (similar and, and this $18! longer ); the vintage crochet, below (other finds , and !); and the ruffled, last pic. If I could do it again (which I intend to!), I'd bring this puff-sleeve and this gorgeous lace , this , this lace dinner-bound , this $19 floral , and this pretty Haleiwa-ready
