3. Boho Eyelet Beach Dress
Short tiered white dresses with tiers, lace, and peasant sleeves are part of spring and summer’s popular Boho trend. The only problem is it’s hard to find one long enough or classic enough to not look like a costume or a nightie. This pretty Karen Kane peasant-style eyelet dress seems to strike a happy note. It’s longer than most others since it hits at the knee and not mid-thigh, and the blouse silhouette is fairly paired down, so it doesn’t look so baby doll.
If you love a little bit of a natural hippie vibe, then this boho eyelet beach dress is on the classy side of cutey. Pair it with woven wedges and a jute tote. Add some fabulous champagne-colored sunglasses and some pretty aqua sea glass earrings, and we’ll see you at the beach!
