I wonder how Einstein and Dickens would fare in today's see-all, know-all, judge-all society

Heres what works beautifully: Earrings Drop or dangle earrings with a beachy twist shells, pearls, pastel stones Small hoops or huggies in gold or rose gold Avoid heavy chandelier earrings unless the rest of the outfit is ultra-simple Necklaces Layered dainty gold chains A statement pendant if your neckline is minimalist No chunky statement necklaces they feel too heavy for the beach Bags Beaded clutch or woven minaudire Metallic finish in gold, bronze, or pearl tone Compact enough to carry your essentials, but stylish enough to match the dress Hair Keep it soft and natural : beach waves, low ponytails, or loose buns Add a floral pin or metallic hair accessory for a touch of glamour Makeup tip : Use cream-based products and a setting spray to withstand humidity
