We are hosting a large-ish party at our (nearby) beach house in a few weeks and would love suggestions on what to wear. In fact, I'd love a suggestion for hot weather and then one for more mild. A little more about me: I am in my early 60s, petite, a bit pearish. I tend to keep my biceps, or at least most of them, covered.
Last year I wore something similar to this: https://tinyurl.com/3rymjz53 - it was fairly warm and a great choice for the evening. This year I am just stumped. I'd like to have two ideas on hand as the forecast is for more mild weather. Always get great suggestions here, so appreciate any ideas - TY. |
Last year's dress was nice & perfect Would you do something similar again this year or maybe a co-ord set? |
Silk cap sleeve dress with linen wrap or linen blazer. Kitten heels or spotless white tennis shoes. Or, linen dress with embroidery. |
Yes, am thinking something similar but covering the upper arm (that dress was perfect for it). Love any co-ord set ideas! |
Like those suggestions, though I tend to steer away from silk as I am prone to sweat in warm weather. |

If it is not super late in the evening, something like this:

Why can't you just wear the same dress? |
Grateful if you could drop the link in again and highlight the URL button as I can't find it - thanks. |
Because I don't want to.... |
This is perfect! |
That's lovely but feels more garden wedding than evening party, at least for me. |
I mean, the op wore a similar dress in blue to the party last year, so I’m not sure why a blue floral wouldn’t work. It’s a party at a beach house. Women will wear a sundress or white linen pants with a bright summery top. Have you ever been to a party at the beach before? I’m not into florals and I’m more comfy in pants, so I would probably wear white linen palazzo pants with a bright short sleeve top. Nice sandals and jewelry. |

Boden has a bunch of dresses with a puffy short sleeve. Ditto for Tukernuck. Max Studio would be a less expensive option. |
