As much as I wish I was taking a tropical vacation this summer, I am not. In all honesty, we cannot afford it right now. But that is totally fine! Some summers are for vacations, and some summers are for saving money. This summer just happens to be all about saving.
But just because we're not flying across the world to an exquisite resort does not mean we can't enjoy the good life and hang out at a 5-star resort! One of my favorite things about the summer in Phoenix is the fact that all of the really expensive resorts bring their prices down--some of the world's most beautiful hotels are right here in the valley in Scottsdale, Arizona! Adam and I enjoy taking a little staycation here in town and make the most of it!
When we're staying at a really nice resort here in town, I always try to look the part. Just because I am a local should not mean I ought to look like I just rolled out of bed. Fashionable and appropriate resort wear is crucial if you want to get 5-star service wherever you're staying--I cannot tell you how many times Adam and I have been given free upgrades and complimentary drinks whenever we show up somewhere looking our best!


This just screams summer to be - bright white and pops of turquoise! You look great - love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteLove the white and adding color with the shoes and I might go with a matching purse makes a great summer outfit.
ReplyDeleteOhh, a blue purse is a great idea for the outfit! π I'll totally have to look out for one!
DeleteThat cardigan/kimono/whatever you call it is SO pretty! Love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chelsea!
DeleteI love the look! We are saving this summer too. Thankfully we did get to go to an amusement park (sponsored, whew) and we'll probably do a few things close to home. It's so cool that you have great resorts close to you!
ReplyDeleteIt is comforting to know that there are other people out there who are saving this summer, too! I feel like everyone is planning some sort of vacation and Adam and I are getting total FOMO! haha
DeleteThat hat is so gorgeous and the gold detail makes it really pop. I will be adding more white to my wardrobe this year.
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite hat right now π
DeleteI love that there are many options for plus size clothing, allows every size and shape to look and feel great at the beach!
ReplyDeleteThere aren't a lot of really fashionable options out there for a good price point unfortunately, but I got really lucky with this one!! White is totally summery and I typically look good in maxis. I just wish most of the coverups/swim dresses in plus sizes weren't horrible prints like most of the ones I have found!
DeleteLove the look, white dress is like heaven xoxo

ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with the shoes! π
DeleteLooking fab girlie!!!! I just love the dress :):)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the white dress and how the shoes just pop against it. I, however, could not wear all white because in one minute it would have a stain on it. I live in black.
ReplyDeleteI normally live in all black for most of the year, but I absolutely love the white resort wear for summertime! I look forward to wearing white every time summer comes around!
DeleteI'm loving your all white outfit!!! Our family loves to dress in all whites too when going to a resort.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteYou've got very nice blue shoes! I love that look! I need more outfits like this. My wardrobe is very blah these days.
