What I Wore; Strapless Striped Off-the-Shoulder Milly Top

     On Friday, in the middle of packing and moving, the husband and I went out for a date night to take a mini break from the craziness and stress. We went to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, it was so good! Before that we enjoyed margaritas and some really delicious Mexican food. I brought this beautiful (big) Zac Posen purse so I could sneak candy in the theater, otherwise I would probably have done a small black bag.
     We are now all moved out of our old place, but the new townhouse is a total mess. There are things everywhere! No exaggeration. I have to get to work, wish me luck!

What I Wore: St.Lucia Sunset Cruise

 

I absolutely LOVED wearing this dress! It was perfect for this sunset cruise on a catamaran sailboat. It fit beautifully and has a gorgeous back. 

Charleston, SC Trip: Isle of Palm and Boone Hall Plantation

 Here are some photos from our  trip to Charleston, South Carolina! I know I don't usually post photos of my family here, so this is rare. However, this was a family trip so it is what I took photos of. I am so grateful to have been able to spend this week in such a beautiful place with family, I had to share the pictures. This place is such a great location for a mini vacation, if you are within driving range, definitely check it out! There is a lot of fun things to do, just make sure you visit in the spring-late summer as the beaches in November were a little bit chilly.

What I Wore; H&M Floral Print Culottes

     I had always been scared of the culotte style pants that have been in style for a little bit. having a long torso and short little legs, I never thought it would look good on my body type. Then I found these. They were so pretty with this gorgeous print and great fabric and on sale($20 at H&M) that I had to try them on, lo and behold... They looked pretty great! I think it is because they are high waisted and generally have a flattering fit. I did have to go up a size from my usual size because they were hugging in all the WRONG places at first. While they may still have these in stores on sale, they are no longer online but I did link other styles in various price ranges below. My bag is a vintage Chanel camera bag, similar ones can be found here.  I also plan to wear these into the fall with a turtle neck and pumps or ankle boots since we will still be in Virginia and I don't see it cooling down anytime soon.  My next mission is to find a midi dress that doesn't make me look crazy.

What I Wore: Long Blue and Paisley

I wore this pretty long skirt for the 4th of july. I absolutely fell in love when I first saw it, not having anything long in my closet yet, I decided to purchase it. For about $23, you can't go wrong with this. They have a ton of other prints as well in the same style and fabric. 

What I Wore; A Visit to D.C

This Sunday me and my husband took my family sight seeing around DC a little bit. After they left we ventured a little bit further out of the tourist-y areas and discovered a really fantastic neighborhood full of historical homes and condos and really great restaurants. We walked all the way over to Agora after finding it online, we never tried Turkish food and it was all that I had hoped for. In case you are in the area and curious, it's at 1527 17th st NW. The entire neighborhood is adorable and very LGBT friendly as well as four legged 

baby friendly :)

What I Wore: Black and Olive

I wore a combination of the pieces in these photos so many times I might as well have packed half the things I actually did! The shorts fit really great, and they are super comfortable in the heat. The cropped top I wore with my high waisted, wide leg linen pants as well as with these shorts.  The shorts work great with all crop tops, but look cute and casual with a loose fitting half tucked tee shirt.
