Emerald Maxi Dress for a Tropical Date Night

09/04/20 | BB Dakota, Fashion Friday, Sam Edelman, St Lucia, Summer Style

BB Dakota Emerald Maxi Dress

Happy Friday and first weekend of September (for all the American’s, happy Labor Day Weekend). I featured this emerald maxi dress almost two years ago on Sparkles and Shoes and even though it is a focal piece I have styled it differently plus the change of scenery – a great London versus a lush St. Lucia – makes it look very different to me! While it is a maxi the cutouts below the bust and around the calves make it very breezy. 

Even though the dress has a lot going between the color, the necklace, the cutouts, the buttons, and the detailing I still wanted to add a little something.  Thus, in addition to plain pearly studs and a dainty gold necklaceI decided it would be fun to pair it with white heels which are some of my favorite warm weather shoes.  Plus with Fall fast approaching I wanted to make sure I was able to wear them at least a few more times before they become unseasonable again!

And then because it is always fun, here is a comparison to how I styled this emerald maxi dress nearly two years and a half years ago when I wore it in London (that is the famed St. Pancras train station in the background).  It is crazy too see how much a background changes a look (and even the color the dress looks!)

    Super island color. You must’ve fit right in with all the tropical colors on the island. I’m also glad you showed a few photos with the shoes. Love those shoes and again fits in with the island motif perfectly.

    Perfect little dress for the location.

    Looks casual yet fun and very comfortable. Dressed up without looking like you are trying too hard.

    A winner in my book.
