I was so eager to escape the Oxford rain and head to Tampa for a few days of sunshine. We left Friday evening, spent the night in Atlanta and flew to Tampa Saturday morning. Upon our arrival we immediately headed out for exploration. Located in downtown Tampa, Channelside Bay Plaza is a collection of waterfront shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Unfortunately, only a few of the shops and restaurants were open at the time we arrived, (around 10 a.m.) so there wasn’t much for us to do.
I snagged this Free People dress during one of Revolve Clothing‘s end of the year sales. The color and ruffle detail is what sold me on this dress. Free People is one of my favorite brands for achieving the bohemian and endless summer look. I currently have my eyes on this sun printed dress, this all white dress (under $100), and this tattered up slip dress.
Isn’t this bucket bag so cute? I purchased this bag two weekends ago and it’s no wonder it’s already sold out on Nordstrom’s website (can be purchased here). Sole Society is one of my favorite brands for affordable handbags and shoes. This bag is both functional and stylish and at a price you just can’t beat it.
Free People Dress: similar here and here (under $50)// Sole Society Bucket Bag: more available here// Hinge Boater Hat// Jessica Simpson Wedges: love this style too//Kate Spade Earrings: similar here// Lips: bareMinerals Lipgloss in Rule Breaker//

I have fully embraced the Tampa weather and can’t wait to share more of my extended weekend with you. You can see more of my Florida adventures on my Instagram and Facebook.

I love this dress! I’m not one for ruffles, but they are so subtle in this look, I’d totally rock it. You look great!
