packing for Charleston



normally when i pack i just throw some random crap into a bag on my way out the door.  i've always been a lazy packer!

but Charleston is different...a southern gem (it's been called!).  it evokes a sweet southern charm and ladies who lunch.  so i wanted to make sure that i brought plenty of wedges and skirts for our mini day trip.

had so much fun packing that i had to share it with y'all.  i've been trapped behind the scenes at the juice bar without a need to look cute or feminine in any way so i forgot how fun it is to actually dress up like a girl.  gotta get going-- my friends are throwing me a small get-together cinco   de mayo birthday bash tonight!
outfit 1: a gauzy sweater with a striped mini skirt




a cluster of color with this chunky necklace


sassy, easy shift dresses for seafood dinners out


























bright pop of hot pink





















a ruffly top tucked into a fun printed skirt




















so springy!



















a easy knit tank dress with a hand-knit vest
























i wear this hand-knit vest with EVERYTHING.  love this beaded necklace with neutrals.



















my "beach house" show outfit.  a vintage-style polka dot dress.
























layered with a thin coral cardigan and a fun belt.



















can't forget my bathing suit!

oh, what a pillow can do



Theodore chilling on the bed.

my pillow arrived today from Mod Diva.  money saving tip:  order printed pillowcases and stuff with a cheap pillow from Ikea.  i love these pillow cases from Mod Diva for the fun prints (she even carries Marimeko--which i adore) and the hidden zipper so you can unzip and wash.



 my other Mod Diva pillow resides in the living room on my favorite
comfy chair.




this new "Mandarin Mango" scent by Capri Blue in a gorgeous citrine jar is my current favorite.  anthropologie $28.



picked up this shaggy rug in a neutral color.  the kitties love snuggling on it!
