Your reaction is all a bit cliched to me. Like criticising someone who’s dressed better than you. I think I prefer more individualism from someone truly hypocritical. 

She’s complemented a classic maxi with some gorgeous roman sandals, and a panama hat covering a neat half-up do. No Havaianas, no baseball cap, no pony-tail, and no threadbare Balinese sarong. She’s eschewed the obvious and made great choices, and looks great for it. If that doesn’t qualify her as stylish at the beach, none of us have any hope according to you.

Hi Maxabella,
Each to their own. I think she looks great. 
Cheers!
