Oh….. posting these photos is borderline torturous. As I type this, I have the space heater on high next to me and a blanket over my lap. I totally wish I were still at Caneel Bay!
I am absolutely in love with this Lilly Pulitzer maxi dress. It is beyond comfortable and easy to wear and yet it makes you look like you put a lot more effort into the outfit. I wore this the first night we were at the resort. After an entire day of travel (flight, taxi, ferry), I was already pretty exhausted by the time dinner rolled around. This was the perfect thing to throw on for a nice dinner.
I feel like maxi dresses in general are tricky. They can be super casual and a little on the flimsy/revealing side. I 100% love how this maxi is conservative with the long sleeves, but still shows enough shape to feel confident without being too revealing. It’s a win, win.
For coverups, I brought this dress and the tunic pictured here. Caneel is pretty casual and you can wear coverups to breakfast and lunch. I still like to feel “dressed” though. I love the beading on this tunic and how it’s lightweight but not see through. (FYI, it runs a bit small. I suggest going up a size.)
That maxi is flawless on you!! I totally know what you mean by maxi dresses sometimes being too revealing – when they are skin tight I feel super self-conscious! I can't wait to check out this dress at our store!! xo
I love the maxi dress, but I'm on the shorter end of the scale and idk if I could pull off a 1) maxi dress with 2) busy prints. Ah this post has got me aching for summer! I'd probably get the tunic myself, but I've always wanted a maxi dress! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
Totally with you about how tricky the maxi dress can be! I love the bold print because it means minimal accessories would be needed since it's already so special. Stunning photos as always!
I'm really loving that maxi dress, and that tunic is so cute! Caneel looks so pretty, it's definitely on my list of places to go! xx, Mikkaela Southwestern Prepster
I'm very much a black/white/no-pattern gal, but I have one navy/white polka dot Lilly Pulitzer, and I just love it. It's a perfect little summer dress – easy to pack & easy to wear.
Both of these outfits are gorgeous! And I totally feel ya- looking that these photos makes me want to be somewhere tropical too. Glad I'm not the only one!
I'm obsessed with Lilly & I've been trying to decide on the perfect maxi dresses to take on my honeymoon to Savannah and the beginning of June-This one just might fit that bill!

I recently stayed at @boramcare, a postnatal retreat, in NYC with my three week old and had the BEST experience. 👶🏼 🍼🤱🏻 I was blown away by the services Boram has to offer- they have thought of everything to help mothers recover physically and emotionally after giving birth. Leave a comment with “postnatal retreat” and I will DM you more information about #Boram and even more details about my stay.

Lilly was right to send you that dress – it looks SO much better on you than it does on the model on the site! Absolutely beautiful.
