INSPIRATION | Resort Wear

This Friday, I will be doing a shoot for Marriott's Harbor and was asked to bring "resort wear" attire. I have lived in the the resort capitol of the United States for more than a decade now, I still have no idea what this means. I mean I am usually in skinny jeans, boots and a tee whenever I go on vacation morning, noon, or night, so I never pay that close attention to what I am wearing. I know what Florida's idea of resort wear entails: shorts, flops, and usually some tropical motif to validate that you live in Florida. I was told I would get extra brownie points if I had a caftan.

Google is my friend.

I researched the heck out of this style of clothing and had NO idea that there is actually a niche for Resort Wear (the season in between winter and spring fashion lines). Apparently designers needed something to fill their already busy schedules and came up with this genre of clothing. At any rate, I found some looks more up my alley, with designers like Chloe and Stella McCartney relieving a tomgirl like me from having to succumb to commercialized Jimmy Buffet fashion.
