If the absence of elaborate date nights, large parties and even friendly get-togethers has taught us one thing, it’s that it doesn’t take a monumental occasion to make a day special. Rather, life is all about the small and special moments shared with the ones closest to us. Leggings have their place, but spending days with family is reason enough to dress up. Voluminous maxi dresses and playful patterns are as ideal for lounging by the pool as they are for an elaborate dinner that you and your loved ones cook together. Below are looks from local boutiques that pair well with bare feet and good company.
