Tip of the Day – Honeymoon Outfit

Fashion Friday: Honeymoon Outfit
I got an outfit request from a reader. She was looking for an outfit for her honeymoon in Punta Cana, DR in the spring. She said that she is pear shaped, big busted, and tall with brown hair. I choose the dress first. This type of dress is good for someone with a pear shaped body, because it hides the problem area. Also, the top of the dress will give a woman with a big bust enough coverage. I hope this helps! Another great resource is the Honeymoon Style Guide: 10 Outfits under $100.
Tip: If you’re going on your honeymoon next spring or summer, go shopping this August for amazing deals on bathing suits, tank tops, shorts, and more. If you wait until the beginning to next spring or summer, everything will be full price.
Dress: Victoria’s Secret $55.00
Sandals: Old Navy $15.00
Earrings: Forever21 $4.80
Tote: Roxy $14.75

The islands include Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine and the Lower Keys, and Key West. There are small airports located in Key West and Marathon. Or you could always fly into Miami and rent a car to drive. Spending a night or two in sexy Miami could start your honeymoon the right way.
