Match Made in Seven: All Dressed Up With No Place to Go
Welcome to the monthly edition of Match Made in Seven! We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet virtually once a month. One of us chooses a theme each month, and that can be anything: a book, music, a color, a movie. And then we all style an outfit based on that theme.
This month’s theme was chosen by Emma of Style-Splash and is the very timely “All Dressed Up with No Place to Go.” See my post about the theme below…and be sure to take a look at my fellow bloggers to see how they have interpreted the theme this month.

I feel like every day lately I’m All Dressed Up with No Place To Go (#coronavirusquarantine)! But my daily outfits are pretty casual as, at most, I’ll be on a Zoom meeting or make a trip to the post office or market.
One occasion I look forward to after all this is over is cocktails on the beach in the summer. Oh please let there be cocktails on the beach in the summer! Even if I have to BMOC and sit in my beach chair away from other people! But if there are, and if I can, then I will surely make that an occasion. An occasion to make special and dress up for.
I’m feeling very maxi-dressy for the beach this year – and this is really about as dressy-uppy as I get!
But can’t you just imagine…walking in the sand along the water in a floaty white dress…cognac sandals in hand, denim jacket thrown over your shoulders to keep the cool evening breeze off your lightly sunburned shoulders?? Ahhhh.
You’d make your way back to your chair, listening to the live music off in the distance…and sit down and take a sip of your orangecello and sprite, something a little cool and fruity.
You may have to throw sand at anyone who tries to come too close, but…that’s a price you’re willing to pay for a little beach and cocktail time.
What do you think? Will we ever be able to go anywhere fun again? Somewhere as fun as cocktails on the beach??
Cuz I really don’t want to have to wear my beach maxi to the post office 🙁
Where are you dreaming about going when social distancing is no longer required??

Oh, how pretty you look in that gorgeous white dress, Betty!! I think cocktails on the beach sounds absolutely fabulous and I will bring my chair and put it six feet from yours….cause I don’t want you to throw sand at me or anything!

It’s a date, Debbie! And I promise not to throw sand at you!

Oh, yes, I am LONGING for the beach. It’s only a mile away but it’s been closed until this past weekend. Some parts were open just for walking and surfers, but people came from all over and it was crazy. Needless to say, we didn’t go. But I want to soon! And that cocktail sounds amazing! Not to leave out that gorgeous flowy white dress. It’s perfect for your beach dream. You’ve styled it perfectly with the denim jacket and slide sandals, Bettye! Soon maybe…we hope!

Yeah, I’m a little apprehensive about going to things even when they DO open!

That dress is just perfect for staying cool in the hot weather. Heck, even going into the city with it!!

I’d probably knot it up to wear into the dirty, dirty city!

“Cognac sandals in hand”…. can just see you swinging them in a carefree twirl. How fun! BTW, you’re even wearing earrings! Do you wear earrings often?
bettyewp
I haven’t been recently but normally I do. I think you’re just noticing them here because my hair is up so you see my ears 🙂

This whit with blue look is so romantic with the crochet top. The maxi dress is so flattering, and has nearly Greek classic style. Lovely vacation and summer weekend look.

I also think it has sort of a Grecian vibe to it!
Nancy
Oh how beautiful you look! What a fabulous summery dress. I can hear the see, feel the sun and yes , sip at some cocktails!
bettyewp
Thanks, Nancy. At least I can have the cocktail now, without or without the beach!
Emma Peach
Such a fabulous dress Bettye! It looks great with the denim jacket and sandals. I do hope we’ll be able to get to a beach somewhere this year…I’ve already had two holidays cancelled. I’ll definitely be making up for it when I get the chance!

Oh gosh, two holidays canceled!
I see that with this weekend’s lovely weather, a LOT of (naughty) people were out. I hope our numbers don’t go back up because of it.
Stay safe and well, Emma!
