I knew if I were headed to the “World’s Best City “I had better dress the part!
When I heard Brahmin was hosting their Spring Launch at the Skinny Dip in Charleston I immediately started packing! I knew I wanted to be among the first to shop their new spring collection and let me tell you – WOW – this launch was amazing! I opted for a flirty, above-the-knee dress with cinched waist and lace bodice – covered in dainty, feminine floral. My crisp white bag and heels pulled everything together and made shopping in style super easy.
Luckily, I was dressed to impress having met Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam – my fashion idol – at the Brahmin show. I am still on cloud 9 after that encounter and you can read more about that on my insta.
My wardrobe changes in America’s “Friendliest City” were easy, as I stayed one night at the King Charles Inn and another night at the Market Street Pavilion. Both amazing venues were gorgeous and accommodating – the King Charles Inn having an “18th-Century Southern vibe” and Market Street seething with luxury and decadence. Both fashionably astute with amazing backdrops for the photos I have been dropping on Insta!
Because there are so many historical sights to be seen, I selected outfits that fared well for walking tours while still leaving me feeling confidently cute. One of my favorite outfits was as simple as a black baby doll dress, paired with a banded hat and open-toed, animal print wedges c/o Sole Society. I also turned heads with this choker neck floral dress that shows a little shoulder and a little leg through its knee-length lace inserts. This dress is so perfect for spring flings and paired beautifully with my straw clutch and dramatic earrings.
Filling my days with delicious eats from Oak, Burwells, and Halls and having drinks at Henry’s and Stars, while shopping on King Street and taking in the historic sights on a horse and buggy tour, I wanted to be comfortable without sacrificing fashion. I spent a lot of my trip in one-piece rompers and jumpsuits that I styled with a beautiful bag and classic yet sexy shoe – like this soft blue ruffle bell-bottomed romper and plunge neck, vertical striped one-piece with fun tassels, or a darling polka dot romper with comfortable white shoe that can be worn on so many occasions with so many different outfits.
I also wore a great deal of easy to pack and even easier to wear dresses that you can wear off the shoulder for some added flare and that covered me in gorgeous floral and pastel prints, perfect for all skin tones. I just love the beautiful blushes and lavenders and also the turquoise and corals that I am finding in this season’s dresses and I am especially loving the way these dresses show some skin and still look super classy and sophisticated.
I have to say, this adventure to Charleston left me smiling and thanks to Camden at Charleston Laser Teeth Whitening, my smile is brighter and whiter than ever!
Known for its rich history and hospitality, Charleston is absolutely one of my favorite travel destinations. When you go, pack something flirtatious for the evenings, something playful for a day trip, and don’t forget your most fabulous bag darling!
