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.

Chambray & Pink Ruffles

While exploring the infamous Caesar's Palace I wated to share this easy outfit I wore all day getting ready for the spring transition. Now if only New York weather will start cooperating full time! I have been wearing this chambray top non stop and just love the open split detail in the back! It's simple to layer with on cooler mornings by adding a tank under neath or buttoning it and tucking it into a skirt. 

I've had my white skinny denim for a while and this pair from Paige denim wash well without stretching out. Hurry up and grab this feminine tank while it's still on sale over at Banana Republic. It runs a bit large so I sized down a size and love the feminine ruffles throughout.
