Sanibel-Captiva Style

This years hottest fashion is leggings. C. Turtles in Tahitian Gardens on Sanibel has them. 7's most sought after style "Gwenevere" comes in a four way stretch fabric that hides flaws while allowing you to make the latest statement. Couple the leggings with a long shirt or sweater and you have a trendy outfit that can be worn here or in a colder climate. Pair the leggings and tops with boots, ballet flats, heals or flip flops....for the latest look.
