I promise, this is the second to last Charleston post from me. And then we’re back to your regularly scheduled, boring D.C. posts. Because when you’re at a blogger conference, you’re cranking out blog content, right?
I wore this ensemble while roaming around Charleston after SBScon wrapped up and playing tourist. What I’m about to say shouldn’t surprise anyone, but man was it hot that day! I thought I knew all about heat and humidity in D.C. but clearly I was wrong. I had a water at all times while walking around the city! I opted for my breezy ASOS floral dress, flat sandals and light accessories, including this fantastic Vera Bradley clutch and wooden watch from JORD. We strolled by Rainbow Row and I had to get a photo in front of this blue house to add to my colored house photo collection thing I have going on.
I didn’t get to explore as much as I wanted to during my 3 day trip, but here were a few highlights and recommendations from me.
To Eat:
Edmund’s Oast and Pearlz Oyster Bar
To Play:
To See:
Rainbow Row and Pineapple Fountain
To Shop:
Even though I had a blast in Charleston, it was definitely a bittersweet trip because of the tragic events that occurred a few weeks ago. I ended my trip with a visit to Mother Emanuel and I’ve been struggling for the past few weeks on how to describe my experience there because it was an incredibly emotional. One thing I do have to say about Charleston is that it’s a very strong city. I was shocked at what I saw at the church that day: it was probably the most loving atmosphere I’ve ever encountered. How such a senseless, tragic act could breed so much love restored my faith in humanity for a bit.

I don’t know what I like more…the colorful buildings or your dress! Both are gorgeous!

I love this post! I’ve been wanting to go to Charleston for awhile. And I love getting all these tips from the SBSCon posts! Your dress is gorgeous and it looks like it was such a fun weekend! 🙂
I agree with your reflection on the events at mother Emanuel .. I went there and literally stood there for 5 min without speaking. What a tragi event and here were no words.
I can imagine this is such a hard time for the people of Charleston. It really was a tragic experience.
Love this dress on you, by the way!

This dress is beautiful on you. I’m so mad that I wasn’t able to visit the pineapple fountain, but I did see Rainbow Row! I also recommend The Broken Egg for brunch… it’s DELISH! We went twice! Haha. It was SO hot so we left early… we were supposed to come back Sunday and we came back yesterday! That heat is like no other. And I went to the church as well and it was a really emotional experience. It was beautiful to see all of the flowers and people standing outside, though. But even just being there made me sick to my stomach thinking about how cruel people can be sometimes.
