One of the biggest questions I ask myself when I’m shopping for resort wear type clothing is, “How am I going to style this when the season is over, or when I’m not in a resort wear type setting?” We all get excited while we are shopping for vacation, but we have to make sure the pieces we buy don’t just sit in our closet for a year after that time is over.
That’s why I love this marea top by bella tu. It’s absolutely adorable as a resort wear piece and it can be woven seamlessly into everyday outfits. Since it’s been a little cloudy the past couple of days, I decided to style my top as I would for work. I love how the leather of the blazer contrasts the delicate fabric of the top. Don’t you agree!?

Aw thanks, Heidi! That was my whole goal for this post, so thank you for saying that. I know! I was hesitant to get white heels for fear that they would get dirty too quickly, but these have a great texture and are easy to clean off.

I love that you paired such a relaxed top with a blazer. It really changes the tone of the outfit completely, and I never would have thought that the two would pair so well!
