I’ve got a few unexpected travel adventures happening this fall, with a planned trip to Charleston first on the list. My “must-do” activities include eating lots of fresh seafood, admiring the beautiful architecture, browsing top-tier stores, learning about Revolutionary and Civil War history, and spending time exploring the surrounding islands.
There are a lot of places in the U.S. I’ve been to, but Charleston isn’t one of them. You would think I might have squeezed in a visit or two during the years I spent living in the south, but no—this will be my first time visiting the Holy City, and I cannot wait.
I decided I wanted my wardrobe to match the locale. For me, that means evoking a Southern vibe with lightweight fabrics, opulent florals, and straw hats while spending leisurely afternoons poolside sipping a Planter’s Punch or two, followed by dressing up for some fine dining and dancing with my sweetie.
I took a look in my closet and realized I did NOT have the clothing to match that vision, so I did a little pre-trip shopping. Pinks, greens, florals, and a few new accessories later, I think I’m ready. I’ll be wearing some new duds to complement my visit to a new city, and I love the serendipity of discovering a new place while stepping out in a few new things, too.
