OOTD from Marie France Asia: Long weekend lounging

The long weekend is upon us and we’re already deep in the holiday mood. What better way to recuperate from a week of back-to-back meetings, running errands or wild nights than a day at the beach? Here’s what we suggest for a relaxing weekend by the seaside.

A backless midi sun dress with an attached belt may be a little out of the ordinary, but it’s the perfect balance of effortless beach style and a good fit. The halter neck on this Raey number will give your shoulders just the right amount of exposure to show off your summer glow. Slip on a luxe pair of embellished sliders and throw all your day’s necessities into a large waterproof tote so you worry less about any damage to your goods.

There’s no lying that no matter how much SPF you put on, prolonged sun exposure will turn you a shade or two darker. So why not embrace the tan proper and spray on a water-resistant broad-spectrum protector? Accompany that with a pair of your chicest sunglasses and a fedora to keep the sun out of your eyes.

Now you just need to grab a good book and look for an umbrella to lounge under. But don’t forget to come back to take on the new week more ready than ever on Monday!
