June in Hong Kong means beach time, so when it was my turn to choose something to pass around for the 4th Ping Pong Post, I chose this white maxi dress. It’s flowy and airy and see through! Gasp! But not so much so that I can still feel covered when I take the five minute walk from my house to the beach in this dress quasi coverup. A couple of months ago I layered the white maxi dress over a pair of khaki green skinnies with a boho blazer. From that post, I can remember a comment from Sam saying, “Send it my way!” So, I did exactly that–I wonder what Samantha and Anna came up with…..Keep scrolling!
Samantha from Fake Fabulous
Samantha is so demure and classy. Sometimes she reminds me so much of Audrey Hepburn–does anyone else see it? Samantha is always very poised and extremely put together. Yes, there’s a quirky bit usually thrown in, but her statuesque presence is what gets me.

Anna from Anna Island Style
Anna has two things in common with both my styling and Sam’s. Like me she hit the beach, and like Sam, she layered a slip dress underneath. But Anna’s dress is of a fun tropical flavor. It’s as if she’s added more beach vibes to an already perfect beach scene. I love it! Obviously all three of us need to be partaking in Sam’s bubblies for this styling. Too bad we’re all so far away from each other!

The beach always requires one accessory for me: my puka shells from Puka Beach, Boracay. The instant I hit a beach, I’ve usually got these two strands wrapped around my ankles.
Do you have anything–aside from SPF, that you must wear that signifies beach time to you? A special hat or scarf, a sentimental beach towel, or a piece of jewellery like my anklets?
And what about White Maxi Dress, Ping Pong Post No. 4?
And, if you received this dress in the mail, how would you have styled it?
You hot mama you!!
When I saw this previewed on Anna’s blog yesterday, my first reaction was to wear it as a duster or kimono!! It’s so light and airy! Of course I never thought about it as a beach cover up (of course, my days of sun worshipping have passed–that’s probably why), but you pull this off better than a bandaid!

Thank you. And thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Big love, Ann
I’m a sucker for anything long and sheer that I can layer with other things! I really loved it layered over the khakis with the short jacket on top…my style soul sister! All three of you look gorgeous. 🙂

I know–this is so up your alley Debbie. In fact I am sure you have something like it. And check out this styling of a similar dress last summer–it’s how I think you would style it! https://www.krembdelakremb.com/white-sundress-with-cowboy-boots/ Yep!! Cowboy boots!
Love, Ann
Love that dress! It looks great in all 3 styles. I loved it in your first post with it. Where did you find it?
Thank you Dottie! So happy to have a new reader too!! I picked up the dress at my trust Forever 41–op! I mean Forever 21. More than half my clothes are from that shop. I can go in, pick up a large, and pretty much be guaranteed it will fit. I just always go with LARGE!
I hope you come back Dottie! Love, Ann
Hi Ann. I’ve been reading your blog for a while now. I’m a big fan. I look forward to chatting with you in the future.
Oh good! So glad Dottie. Nice to meet you!! 😀
