Think I'll go to Charleston

I'm finally getting around to posting the outfit pictures from the 2nd day of our anniversary trip. We decided to take a little tour of downtown Charleston. Good thing we got these pictures in before the torrential downpours began! Haha~ so much for shopping and walking around all the historic landmarks! We ended up doing a quick drive by of a couple of neat looking buildings and then decided to head home.

King street was such a cute little street! Next time I come I hope I can spend more time there! I was able to go into a couple of adorable boutiques. One was called the Butterfly Consignment shop where I saw vintage Armani suits, Elie Tahari blazers, and the most amazing pair of vintage silk high waist Gucci pants! I was a good girl though and only "window shopped."


Well, I did it again-- I wore a dress as a skirt. I just can't stop myself! This dress is a halter top that just doesn't fit me quite right up top. I love the print though, so I just decided to pull the old make it into a skirt trick again. I thought a long maxi skirt would really fit the whole southern historic town mood.

The side braid was a definite must for taming all the hair frizziness in the rainy weather. I never wear my hair like this, but I think it just may become a one of my staple looks. It's simple, and I don't have to spend so much time flat ironing!

Dreamboat

For our anniversary last weekend, we decided to take a little trip to Charleston, SC. We rented a cute little private yacht for a couple of nights~ it was quite an adventure! I just had to wear my striped blazer with nautical buttons~ of course!

I discovered the yacht through a really neat website called airbnb. You should check it out if you're looking for a unique vacation experience! Neither of us had ever been on a yacht before, so we thought it would be a fun way to celebrate our one year!

Once we figured out how to work the toilet and got used to the constant smell of gasoline it turned out to be really romantic~ haha! It was neat to be able to sun tan and watch for dolphins from the bow of the yacht. It even had a little kitchen and cable TV (so Matt didn't have to miss his football game). We were able to walk to some great seafood restaurants and the beach.

 I wore this blazer again, but this time I decided to dress it down by pairing in with denim cut-offs (a little shipwreck island-ish perhaps?). It was extremely hot so for the remainder of the trip I pretty much just wore a swimsuit! We even had to sneak into a nearby resort's pool to cool off (I was a little skiddish about diving into the middle of the ocean).

The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous! I think I want to move here when I retire. What an adorable little beach cottage community!
