Crochet beach dress cover-up

Summer - it's a great time when many people go at the seaside.
And, we are living there, near the sea, so no need to go far - just a few kilometers to the beach. We've already opened the season this year and spent a weekend at the beach. Water is of course still cold, but we had soaked feet and bagged some rays.
if you’re anything like me, you’re already plotting your wardrobe for a little sun worship. 
That’s why I chose the model of crochet dress in February and started crocheting. Crochet beach dresses are a popular summer fashion trend for several years. In this dress every woman will feel incredibly attractive and seductive on the beach. beach dress will accent your femininity.
In this season mint is in the trend, so I decided to combine my favorite summer color ecru with mint. I finished my dress about month ago but didn't have a time to make photos. So today finally I present for you my crochet beach dress. 
Because of lacy crochet dress sits well on the figure.


Neck is with ties, but in fact it is not necessary to tie I think?

I added a thin crochet belt to highlight the waist.

Sleeve is short.  I don’t need long sleeve in the summer, isn’t it?

Crochet skirt upcycled from vintage crochet tablecloth

 After success last summer of my wrap skirts made from crochet doilies and tableclothes I decided to repeat it this year. This Thursday I visited local flea market and bought 2 crochet tableclothes. Of course checked that they didn't have holes and without spots, then I sewn 2 new wrap skirt. 
Crochet skirt upcycled from vintage tablecloth is great replacement or those who can't afford to buy a real crochet skirt. Every skirt is unique, has satin ribbon ties on the waist. Use it for cover up your swimsuit - great to showcase a major trend this summer! Go seaside in style! It's delightfully soft, light and comfortable skirt.

Land of the fishermans

You know, Puglia is the land of fishermans. There are a lot of small fishing boats which bring fresh fish every morning on the special fish market. You can see these mens often on the sea front unraveling fishing nets. Today selection of photos I dedicated to fishermans. These photos I made this weekend in Gallipoli and last summer in Porto Cesareo.

Poppies field

I know, it seems like I took a new toy) but I so like my new camera that I always take it with me and don't lose the chance to make some photos. 
I was going by scooter when I suddenly saw an amazing poppies field. So I stopped, took my camera from the carrier and began to make photos of poppies) I forgot to say that it's one of my most favorite flower. 
When we was going by car in Lecce I saw other one field much bigger but I can't go there by scooter, it's too far. So I need to ask my husband and it's so hard to get him to go there(
Ok, there are some photos from the small field:
