Olivia Palermo just walked right onto the beach in Spain wearing the most versatile Summer dress we've ever seen. That might sound like a strong statement, but just look at her dreamy, off-the-shoulder Temptation Positano number, which features lace details and breezy bell sleeves. Olivia's design works just as well over her swimsuit as it would styled with heels and drop earrings for a night out.

She makes the case for investing in a similar dress that's not too sheer and, while flouncy enough for the beach, also structured enough for some sightseeing. Read on for a breakdown of Olivia's flawless vacation styling trick, zoom in on her smart accessories, and then shop for a gorgeously embroidered cover-up to pull it all off.
