$39, ilovewoo.com*

I went to a wedding in Palm Beach this past weekend and spent much of my time cooling off in the 82-degree Atlantic and the hotel pool. It left me thinking that seaside (or poolside) style is not so much about your swimsuit as it is your cover-up. From evening dress-glitzy, to bohemian-embroidered, to barely there-gauzey, there are many statements to be made with your kaftan choice. I think this one above is very Palm Beach-chic, with its playful fringe and candy-bright hue. I'd wear it with...
