Dresses for South Beach?

I am headed to south beach for a long weekend in May for a work incentive trip. My wardrobe is mostly Lilly Pulitzer/more palm beach than south beach. People keep telling me the restaurants in south beach are very dressy and I will need new dresses. I figure I can wear my usual stuff for daytime but want to get 2 dresses for nighttime. They will be just for dinner and I have no plans to go to clubs but would prob go to a cocktail bar of some sort at night. I want to spend under $300 since I prob won't wear them much after the trip. I am petite and about a 2-4. I get 40% off shoshanna, Tibi, Milly, and Lilly Pulitzer from the boutique I work at so bonus points if it's something I can have my boss order wholesale. Thanks in advance!

Re: Dresses for South Beach?

  • I was in SB in November and saw everything.  I do not think that Lilly Pulitzer would look out of place at all, especially at dinner or cocktails.  I didn't go to any clubs, and imagine people were dressier there, but from what I saw on the street, maybe not.  I think you'll be fine with your regular wardrobe, particularly if you don't think you'll wear these other pieces much - don't spend the money.
  • Thanks ladies! This makes me feel soo much better! 

     Crazy- we are staying at The W, which i have heard is right in the middle of things? I will def check out that restaurant I LOVE Italian. I already booked a body scrub and massage at the bliss spa. Any other suggestions on fun things to do? 

     Also I was thinking of getting this dress from work, if we went to a fancier restaurant and I paired it with the right shoes/accessories do you think it work?

  • Crazy-If I knew how to check PM I would write you back:) 

    I did end up buying this dress today, it's a shoshanna from last year, and my boss found it in the back room. I got it for pretty much nothing. Score! It's a light material and I like the colored jewels at the top!
