Let's dive into one of my favorite vacation looks that effortlessly blends chic style with a hint of edge. Imagine strolling down the palm-lined streets of Florida, soaking up the sun and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. What better way to complement that tropical vibe than with a standout outfit that’s as bold as it is beautiful?

Let’s start with the star of the show: the black and white gingham mini dress from PacSun. Gingham patterns have been making a huge comeback lately, and this dress is no exception. Its playful print and flirty silhouette make it perfect for those warm summer days. The tie-back detail adds a touch of allure, ensuring you look fabulous from every angle.

To add a bit of edge to this sweet ensemble, I’ve paired the dress with strappy black Teva sandals. These sandals are not only incredibly comfortable for exploring all day long, but they also bring a modern, urban vibe to the outfit. The contrast of the sporty sandals against the feminine gingham print creates a striking balance that’s both trendy and functional.

No vacation outfit is complete without accessories, and I’ve opted for a gold bow choker necklace from Urban Outfitters (sold out 😔). The delicate bow design adds a touch of whimsy and elegance to the look, drawing attention to the neckline and framing the face beautifully. It’s the perfect piece to elevate the outfit without overpowering the playful charm of the gingham dress. Pairing these with gold heart earrings from Amazon adds a touch of sparkle and sophistication, tying the whole ensemble together effortlessly.

For hair, why not try a slicked-back bun? This hairstyle is not only chic and sophisticated but also practical for hot weather. It keeps your hair off your face and neck while adding a touch of polished glamour to your look. It’s the perfect complement to the playful yet elegant vibe of the gingham dress and accessories.

When it comes to makeup, keep it fresh and radiant with a bronzed glow and a glossy lip. This will ensure you look effortlessly gorg throughout your Florida adventures.

Whether you’re exploring local markets, lounging by the pool, or dining al fresco, this outfit is sure to turn heads and make you feel fabulous. It’s all about embracing the laid-back glamour of a Florida getaway while staying true to your personal style.

Until next time, stay stylish and adventurous!

XOXO,
