wearing: bold gold and purple earrings / Bobbie Brown “Lilac” lipstick / resort 2018 sundress c/o Tart Collections (save 20% off your purchase with code BAFASHIONISTA20 now through Feb. 23, 2018)  / denim jacket / round bamboo bag / Chanel spring nail polish / wedge espadrilles

This is the time of year when it is just plain cold! In addition to being cold, the trees are bare, and the sky is dreary. What we all dream about is a sunny vacation, in eighty degree weather, at a fabulous resort. Unfortunately, not all of us can break away from our kids activities, or work, at this time of year and go sleep on a beach. <sigh>

Thankfully, we can bring the look of the resort to our wardrobe! Love! If you haven’t noticed, Tart Collections has released their fabulous resort 2018 collection, and it can instantly transport you to the resort of your dreams! The collection is filled with beautiful prints, and designs, which are perfect for an exotic beach getaway.  Of course, we have a trick for taking those resort designs to city streets when we can’t actually be on a beach!

This beautiful dress for the resort 2018 season by Tart Collections instantly caught my eye. It has a flirty tie back, and empire waist; making it ideal as a swimsuit cover-up, or beach-side dress, for an exotic getaway. Since I can’t get myself to a beach getaway at the moment, I brought the look to my local city street.

You can wear resort-wear in the winter! I paired my resort 2018 dress from Tart Collections with my classic go-to denim jacket, and city-street-worthy wedge espadrilles. The espadrille portion of the shoe matches the vibe of the dress, while the wedge adds instant street cred. To complete the look, I paired the dress with this vacation-ready bamboo circle bag. It adds the perfect vacation vibe to the overall look!

Since it was forty-seven degrees out when I wore this dress over the week-end, I had to keep my jacket on. I cannot wait for our spring weather to start in the middle of February; this jacket will come off, and this dress will be perfect alone! Now. . .about that beach resort getaway I am currently dreaming of. . . <sigh> At least I have a dress which gives off a beach resort vibe!

You can grab your own piece of a beach resort online at TartCollections.com. You can also save 20% off your resort-ready look with coupon code BAFASHIONISTA20 now through 2/23/2018. Their fabulous resort collection will transition seamlessly into spring 2018. Love that!
