It's always hard to get back into work mode after coming back from vacation. It's even harder as the week drags on. As I was sitting in my office, I couldn't help but wish I was back on the beach in Cozumel. The good thing about traveling with your best friend who is also a photographer is that you have enough pictures to last a lifetime (or until your next visit!). Every corner was a picture perfect scene waiting to be captured. For the five days I was there, I was truly lost in paradise. 

It was very hot and humid in Cozumel, but luckily I came prepared with loose and flowy outfits, such as this dress from Abercrombie & Fitch. I don't frequently shop there, but was specifically looking for beach attire so thought I would check it out. I'm glad I did because this was the perfect dress for the occasion. The hi-lo hemline made it easy for me to walk along the beach without kicking up sand everywhere, the elastic waistband meant I could eat to my heart's desires, the open back was a nice detail while keeping me cool, and finally the cut of the neckline was rather flattering and did not emphasize my broad shoulders. I am all about comfort and practicality when it comes to style, and this dress was both beautiful and comfortable!
