So it might seem like I’ve been a little bit overdressed for the lake in the past few posts.  The truth of the matter is, I spent most of my weekend in North Carolina in one piece dresses, v-neck tees, and cut-off denim.  This cheap little getup ($12 dress, $10 sunglasses) is really as dressed up as I got over the course of my vacay and I didn’t mind one single bit!

It’s Wednesday and I’m suffering from major vacation withdrawals.  So let’s rewind to last week when I was on cloud nine and basking in the North Carolina sunshine.  This pastel getup paired perfectly with my surreal escape from the daily grind.Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Gentle Fawn Citizen peach sky pastel tank; Express white flare skirt; Banana Republic sparkle stone white statement necklace;  Coach Legacy Leather Large Wristlet; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; Derng rosegold pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heelSkirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Gentle Fawn Citizen peach sky pastel tank; Express white flare skirt; Banana Republic sparkle stone white statement necklace;  Coach Legacy Leather Large Wristlet; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; Derng rosegold pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heelSkirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Gentle Fawn Citizen peach sky pastel tank; Express white flare skirt; Banana Republic sparkle stone white statement necklace;  Coach Legacy Leather Large Wristlet; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; Derng rosegold pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heelSkirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Gentle Fawn Citizen peach sky pastel tank; Express white flare skirt; Banana Republic sparkle stone white statement necklace;  Coach Legacy Leather Large Wristlet; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; Derng rosegold pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heelSkirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Gentle Fawn Citizen peach sky pastel tank; Express white flare skirt; Banana Republic sparkle stone white statement necklace;  Coach Legacy Leather Large Wristlet; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; Derng rosegold pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heel

Excuse the radio silence over here, but I just came back from the most amazing holiday weekend in North Carolina!  I spent the 4th on a much needed escape from the city life, complete with good food and great friends. To kick off the weekend, I donned a preppy and patriotic combo of red, white and chambray (with a watermelon blueberry drink to match!).  And I couldn’t imagine a better dose of Americana than spending four straight in the great outdoors — thank you so much to my wonderful hosts!
