I love the beach and am always in the market for a good-looking way to get from point A to point B. At the beach, this takes on a whole different dimension as we’re often going from beach to waterfront restaurant and back again. Beach Day is part swimwear cover up, part dress. Over a swimsuit, Beach Day has just enough coverage. Over a tube dress or slip dress, Beach Day can get a little fancy. Beach Day may contain a “new to you” technique: literally making a stitch, working it for a length, and then purposely dropping it and letting it rip down. You may be surprised at how resistant a dropped stitch is to running down, as they do not run speedily away like they do in our nightmares.
