This past weekend I gave Naples a little break and ventured across Alligator Alley to South Beach for a night at The Raleigh, one of Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco establishments. It’s got all the style and swank of South Beach, minus the hustle and bustle that Miami brings to mind. A classic with a modern twist, this wide leg jumpsuit was the perfect look to soak up my retro-chic surroundings.

Sleek shirting stripes and a spread collar feel totally timeless, while the wide legs and structured pleats create a fresh, unexpected silhouette. It even has pockets! Culottes aren’t an easy look to pull off, but this one-piece construction creates the perfect, skirt-like lines, giving off much more attitude than your average dress.

Nude single strap sandals add the perfect finish to this, and really any, outfit. A solid pair of single soles in a nice neutral will work wonders for any wardrobe.

I love how these glitzy drop earrings make a major South Beach statement of their own. But it’s not just the bright colors and trendy tassels that capture the tropical mood of my surroundings… Look a little closer, and you can see a pair of playful flamingoes sparkling from the center! After all, what would a day in South Beach be without a whimsical nod to my tropical surroundings?

P.S. I’m finally getting back on schedule with my posts! Keep a look out for a new one every MWF!
