Beach Date Outfit

I saw this striped dress on Ruche and immediately thought of a date on the beach. 
More specifically I thought of walking on the boardwalk 
while holding hands with a handsome man and eating cotton candy.  

Then while the sun sets we'll stroll along the ocean's edge where,
of course, there would be a few kisses and stolen glances along the way.




What are you day dreaming about today?
Any fun beach dates lately?

Love that sweet little seashell necklace...now that I live at the jersey shore full time...maybe I need a little "ode to the shore" charm or piece of jewelry.that would be nice.
thanks for sharing.

Absolutely perfect! I am dreaming of the cool shoreline towards evening, where we shall walk until it is cool and shady here on the mountain.
I wish I had those clothes to wear.

I love this whole ensemble. I wish I could wear those kind of shoes, but they totally pinch my toes. So sad =(

I am in LOVE with that floppy hat! I can't seem to find the right one. This outfit would look adorable on you by the way. I hope there are some beach dates in my future. Especially since Sacramento is going to be in the high 90s into the 100's this week!

I'm dreaming about the beach now! I feel like so many of the blogs I've visited today are talking about tropical vacations or beach days... making me wish that's where I was. Love that hat!

Kristin said...

A beach date is one of my favorite kinds of dates! Love that hat!

Mmm, beach date! John and I had one this weekend, but it was the light sweater/thermos full of spiced cider variety-still pretty dreamy!

Ooh, I'd love to put that outfit on and head to the beach for the day... I'd sit under my beach umbrella, sip iced teas and immerse myself in a book while I listened to the waves. Bliss!

I love that dress--have you ever purchased from Ruche? I've been eyeballing a couple things, but am wondering about sizes...

I love Ruche!! I'm currently agonizing over a beautiful summer dress I found there... I'll be visiting a creek in the middle of the forest tomorrow. It's not quite the beach, but it's just as peaceful :)

I can completely see myself wearing this!! Perfectly paired outfit. That dress is so cute, I can see it done in so many ways.

LOVE that dress! I'm dreaming about being BACK on the beach!

Jessi Haish said...

cute outift! very beachy!

Michelle said...

That purse is PERFECT.

Lauren Michelle said...

That would be the perfect beach date outfit! Sadly, I don't live near the beach, and even when I was there a few weeks ago, it generated no dates. :(

I could have really used this idea earlier this week in Santa Monica! I love it love love it!!
