Mara Hoffman is well known for her vibrant color prints. These style elements are well represented in her 2015 resort and swimwear collections. Inspiration for the resort swim `15 collection stems from the beautiful people, culture, colors, textiles and landscape of Guatemala during Mara's recent trip.

While It's quite obvious that these are must have pieces for your summer wardrobe,as you and your little one are having fun in the sun - we don't want you to miss out on wearing these styles NOW...and later.  With forgiving fits, perfect for post-baby bodies, these style can easily transition from pool time to play dates by simply adding stylish layering pieces.

The Mara Hoffman Tie Front Shirtdress in Supernova Black is effortlessly stylish. The vibrant tribal print is perfect to wear during the spring and summer seasons. We love that you can tie the front of the dress to create a hi-lo look or wear it as a true maxi dress. This nursing friendly dress easily transforms from a pool cover up to a casual play date look by adding a seamless tank dress that ships free with the dress!  If you want to add more cover we suggest layering on the Milly Sandwashed Shirtdress. Leave the Milly shirtdress unbuttoned, as a jacket look, so the amazing Mara Hoffman print shines bright.

  This Mara Hoffman Jumpsuit is super chic on a hot summer day, but it is surprisingly wearable even when the temperature is on the lower side of the thermometer.  By adding layers like the Bella Dahl Rouge Henley Tee and the White + Warren Swing Cardigan in Berry with a pair of black booties, this jumpsuit hops from poolside perfection to coffee date with the hubs on a Saturday afternoon.

 It would be totally normal to write as rashguard off as appropriate for beach or pool only - but we are hear to tell you that you can get a much bigger bang for your buck!  By styling this Jaguar Print top with the Rachel Pally High Waisted Converter Skirt and the Mara Sarong (worn as an oversized scarf) you create a chic and versatile look - appropriate for play date and even date night!

Don't let Resort wear full you.  Below the title is just a collection of clothing...dying to be worn ALL year!
