My Holiday Outfits - Part 2

7/8/2017

0 Comments

 
Today I'm sharing some of my beach cover-ups!  Going back to the cotton theme that I mentioned in my last post, I do struggle to find cotton beach cover-ups. I am not a fan of linen as I don't like the crushed look.  But any man-made fabric just feels way too hot.  I have a few cotton dresses and cover-ups that I have purchased whilst on holiday then they get packed away for the next holiday (and never worn at home as it just isn't warm enough).
Picture
My hat this year was a mans trilby from Marks & Spencer, I got a size small and I was so pleased with it, much more substantial than the equivalent ladies ones and a good price too.
Picture
This navy beach cover-up is Seafolly from Coco Bay and was in the sale (similar here), I love the little pom poms on it.  I ordered a few beach covers from Coco Bay but so many of them drowned my size as they are 'one size' and way too big for me.  I do have my eye on this Seafolly dress though - white and cotton.  My flip flops are the essential Havaiana's!
Picture
This beach cover up was from Marks & Spencer several years ago and is still my favourite as it is cotton and ties at the front (rather than having to put it over your head).  But alas I have not seen anything similar for a while.
Picture
I did find this white one in Top Shop this year and is very similar to the Marks & Spencer one in that it ties at the front but it isn't cotton and was prone to creasing so I don't think it will go on my favourites list.  The bikini is from Coco Bay and is reversible.  It comes with various different pants and bra styles - I prefer tie sides as I think they are more flattering. Excuse the dodgy tan lines - I didn't quite master my tanning this holiday!

This one (above) was purchased in Fiscardo and proved to be a good buy!

And finally this is the Grecian Dress from Hush, it drapes beautifully and is very lightweight. I wore it over a bikini for our day out to Myrtos Beach and Fiscardo.  It did crease a bit and I wonder if it might look better without the belt, I will be experimenting a bit more with this one.  I think it has virtually sold out online but it is a style then do each year so worth looking again.

Later in the week I will be talking bikini's and bikini confidence!

Love
