While I was in Southport, North Carolina I really wanted to wear fun, bright outfits. Usually, I wear neutrals and steer away from any sort of color. It sounds absoultely insane but I think colorful pieces of clothing can clash with my red hair. Mark my words, you will never catch me in purple, bright pink or orange, I swear my hair would clash with those colors horribly. Do I sound crazy? I’m very specific on what I will wear. My mom is the same way. I guess you could say daughter like mother? But, down south I felt as though I needed to wear color (nothing too crazy of course). In my opinion, the south radiates bright colors. I wanted to wear really fun looks while I was there, it’s vacation after all.

Now I may of completely contradicted myself so bottom line: bright colors are not my favorite, but down south I felt the need to wear some subtle color. Make sense?

So my first outfift I will continue to call my “tablecloth outfit.” Thank you Chris for pointing out this outfit looks identical to a tablecloth your family used to have. From a boys perspective I can totally see the whole “tablecloth” look.

Personally, I think this outfit is so fun. My favorite part was the back, it ties into a bow which I LOVE. Gingham is a super popular pattern this year and I am so for it, even if it looks like I’m wearing a “tablecloth.” I paired this outfit with my white and beige Jack Rogers.

Outfit two I actually bought as a two piece. The pants actually have the cutest matching top that ties in the front.  I was with my family and didn’t want to show too much skin (& I also wanted to save the full outfit) so I paired it with a white v-neck and tied it on the bottom. I think it turned out so cute! My mom bought me statements earrings from Jazzy Jane’s Boutique. They are so beachy and I love them. For shoes I wore Steve Madden sandals with a chunky, small heel.
