With the FMCO firmly in place and a ban on interstate travel that looks unlikely to be lifted soon, the closest thing you can get to dreamy beaches, postcard-perfect scenes and an envy-inducing camera roll is to simply dress up and rock the looks in your own backyard! While we’re all stuck at home during this pandemic, why not pick up some of your most colourful and breezy fits and make like you’re all set for your next getaway to Bali, Maldives or even Kauai? In these moments of stillness, dressing up will surprisingly help to lift your spirits and make your day!
Let your imagination escape to some of the best beaches in the world that you’ve been and relive those moments through this look. Keeping comfort in mind, switch things up by pairing your striking printed caftan with wide-legged pants as you watch the sun rise from the poolside. Go the extra mile and complete your eco-resort look by slipping on a nature-inspired statement necklace and a pair of danglers as you take lots of photos to remind your BFFs that you’re totally serious about the beach vacay that you’ve all put on hold for far too long!

Travel back in time to some of the most exotic gardens that you’ve chanced upon during your globetrotting adventures in this statement dress. Filled with an intricate dragon design, the dress will get the conversation going between you and your neighbours – even if there are walls in between! If you’re on the petite side, fret not about donning bold colours and big prints cos all you’ll need to do to make this dress work is to loop a fabric belt around your waist to accentuate your figure and add the illusion of height. Finish the look with a surprise element by slipping your feet into a pair of yellow strappy wedge sandals!
Time to recreate those TGIF memories at your favourite beach bar in this metallic gold accordion pleated jumpsuit that comes with harem-style drop pants, a plunging neckline and lots of room for drama! As you’ll be raising your glass to yourself for staying strong through these unprecedented times, keep the focus on your wrist by wearing different cuffs and bangles for a bold look. If you’re petite-sized, you can match your charm bracelets and thin bangles together with a few rings on alternate fingers.
Destination parties were one of those things that we used to look forward to heading to, and while that doesn’t look possible in the next few months, you can still stand out from the crowd in your outfit by colour-blocking according to your liking. For a more casual look, tie a scarf on your head and drape it to one side – and don’t forget your earrings!
Elevate your grocery run look by swapping your plain ol’ tee and jeans with a chic get-up like this one! Instead of tying the belt around your waist, take things up a notch by styling it into a turban and have the tassels hang down your shoulders. All you’ll need to complete your look are a mesh shopping bag and tasselled sandals, and you’re all set for your weekly ‘adventure’!
