I hear ya and understand where you're coming from. I tried compensating for the bareness by hiking up the skirt, but the extra fabric didn't sit right (I really should just get the dress made into a skirt). Unfortunately I don't own any longer strapless tops, but do own tank tops. I felt they were all too casual though (ribbed material or too sheer).

As I'm writing this, it just hit me that I do have a white sequined tank! It's longer and I think that could work with the eyelet skirt. I'd probably forgo the statement necklace -- thoughts? I don't know how I forgot about that, but thank you for forcing me to think of other pairings :)

That sounds cute--you should try it!

Thanks for your sweet reply :)

I've already add it to my to-wear list! ;)

Thanks Allison! A tank is my next pairing with this skirt.

I wish you had pics too! I haven't been to the beach in ages, mostly because I prefer sightseeing vacations. I think my subconscious is trying to tell me a week at the beach may not be so bad after all ;)
