Dress: Brooklyn Flea Market. Pendant (DIY/trim shop) 

I can’t be in St Lucia without the obligatory beach shots so this won’t be the last.

The dress is from Brooklyn flea market.  It’s sheer with long billowy sleeves and a massive skirt – think parachute – it has that much fabric.

The shape reminds me of this cream Valentino which I can’t forget. I usually avoid solid black long dresses but like the key hole cut outs on this one (on sale).  I probably would’ve ordered it had I seen it before leaving.   Saw this zebra print also on sale that I thought would look brilliant with a fedora, leather motor jacket and boots or thong sandals.

Another reason for loose dresses: hides the food baby tummy from Mum’s cooking.

I found more floor sweeping dresses here:

      Hi again Karen,
      when you get home, if you have a chance to look at your shop, I really, really, really want to buy your tie dye purple tunic with lace inserts on the sleeves if it is still available :o) Sent you an email about it, xx

      PS. Don’t worry about the food baby tummy; I have one too now because my mum is visiting…. just do what I did and get one of those crochet monokinis from Free people that hide a multitude of sins!

    I am in love with that dress. And jealous of you making it to the beach! Three months in Nassau and I still haven’t been. The photos have me feeling like calling my Lucian friends…
