This month the hubby, myself and the fam are off to Cozumel for a scuba/relaxing vacation.  Scuba for him, relaxing for me.  Scuba diving scares me as does being in the ocean — I’ll dip my toes in but I really don’t enjoy the opportunity of meeting sharks.  So before I freak out about the likehood of my demise I would like to look cute.

Dresses are a necessity when on the beach, and I’m on the lookout for the perfect patio dress…

Recently, I have been informed that I wear too many “bags” and that I look like an Olsen.  I considered that to be a compliment, although I don’t think he meant it as one.  Due to this statement, I have some rules for my search of the perfect maxi dress:

No black

Has to be “fitted”

Has to be “goddess-like“

Here are my options~
