Caroline styles a Mara Hoffman tie front dress for vacation << HOUSE of HARPER

This Mara Hoffman tie front dress just screams summer vacation.  I ordered it during the Shopbop sale, but wasn’t sure I could pull off the tie front.  I was pleasantly surprised how flattering and modest it was when it arrived.

I wore this for a day of exploring around Nassau.  All the painted buildings make for the most beautiful and happy backdrops.  They will make you want to start painting everything the perfect shades of pastels!

On a more neutral note, I styled the bright dress with my favorite travel companion, a wicker bag.  I love the round shape, and that it has a strap so you aren’t having to hold on to a bag all day.  This one is sold out, but I linked to my other favorites below.
