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??
