Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 8 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway! How gorgeous is this embellished cotton maxi dress! I love every part of it from the embroidered green and orange detail to the light and flowy material.  I’m sure you already know that I’m going to tell you that a maxi dress is a summer getaway must-have. It really is though! Maxi dresses always look so effortlessly chic on the beach and are super easy to transition from day to night!  During the day you can wear it with a oversized floppy hat, some flip flops and a beach bag.  Then at night all you need to do is throw on some wedges, add a pair of earrings and carry a fancy clutch.

Packing tips: Unless your maxi dress is a jersey or polyester material, don’t forget to hang it in a garment bag with your other delicate pieces to prevent harsh wrinkles.
