Ocean Blue & White Denim

Finally Sharing More About Charleston, a trip earlier this spring...

After a relaxed day at the beach it was time to get ready for date night back in the heart of Charleston. On this trip I booked us to stay outside of Charleston on the ocean at the Isle of Palms. We stayed at the The Wild Dunes Resort, which I highly recommend! Its a large resort with a full service hotel, condos, and town houses on the property with lots of amenities to complete your stay. We opted to stay in a condo with private beach and pool access which allowed us the convenience of all amenities you would have in the home. After escaping the loud and busy city it was so calming to stay some place quiet. More to come on this great spot with a travel post in the near future, I promise!

For one of our dates nights we adventured off the resort back into downtown Charleston for some delicious seafood. We loved having the laid back feel of the resort then being able to adventure and wander in gorgeous Charleston. This particular look was easy and simple, I don't like spending tons of time getting ready when on vacation. White denim are a great transition to evening in the summer and I've had these Paige skinnies for a while and are worn on repeat.

Eyelet Tank & Denim

On my recent trip and first trip to Charleston I took to sightseeing right away...even before checking into our resort. It was way hot for denim so this is the only day I was in it thankfully, though I am obsessed with this Joe's pair and have to order more since they can be hard to find! I love the stretch to them and light distressed knee area. 

These Sam Edelman sandals are super comfy and my go to each summer and the new versions for this season are gorgeous. They're easy to travel with and can be paired so many ways!  Below I've linked my casual look for walking around. More to come on a recap from this little vacation getaway soon! 

On this first day I loved walking along the Battery swooning over the old historical mansions and then catching shade under the gorgeous oaks in the parks. There's just so much I loved about this quaint yet vibrant historic area and I couldn't get enough. So many adorably colorful streets with shops and restaurants.

Spring Effect

For those cool spring days a lightweight scarf and clean fitting blazer is my sophisticated go to. I love the crisp look of a well fitting blazer, and this one is perfect for transitioning to spring as a staple piece for work, a weekend brunch or shower. I'll even throw it on over a sundress in warmer weather. For any one who knows the true Colors of Colleen they will always be pastels, which lend to my lighter skin tone. This baby blue silk blouse is a great layering piece and can be styled under sweaters or blazers, then worn on its own with a statement collar necklace. This particular sleeveless top is from Banana Republic, it's on sale and going fast so I've linked similar options below.
