Caftan Chic: 17 Looks To Love

{ Via: Camilla }

Caftans are chic again. They probably always have been since Elizabeth Taylor was married in one. And why not? It's a relaxed and whimsical way to look glamorous.  Wear one down the aisle, at the party, on the beach, patio, and poolside. Scroll down and dare to be fabulous! 

Helene Crochet Sequins Kaftan
So pretty in the lightest shade of purple. The main body of the cotton crochet kaftan is lined, which is a good thing. A close up look reveals shiny sequins.

Love the geometric print of the pattern. It's bold and modern. Under $150
