NGPR: Help me shop

poppies717

DH and I are going to San Juan soon, and I have no idea what to wear/what's in for spring. I prefer skirts and dresses, but I want light materials that aren't too revealing/tight. Are maxi skirts still cool? Any ideas? I have time, so I could order online.

Maxis still seem cool around me, but we aren't exactly a fashion forward area...I hope it is true elsewhere; I'm planning lots of maxi dresses for our cruise this summer

I would go with maxi dresses and lightweight spring dresses you can throw over a swimming suit.  That's what I live in when we go to the Caribbean/Mexico.  Anything lightweight and not clingy. 

You could do something like this for casual:  http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/prod/dresses/love-ny-c-collection-colorblock-maxi-dress/A-prod520016/#.U0rHtV7mpBV

Not sure how dressy your resort is for dinner, but most of the ones I've been to are dressy for dinner.  So here's a few ideas.  Of course I love NY&Co, so most are from there.

Of course, a little black dress is always a must:

Okay, I'm done now. :-)

Lands end had some cute dresses last I looked and old navy has a couple I'm in love with right now., plus old navy has free two day shipping with the code free. It is supposed to work for Gap, piper lime and banana republic too.
