This week’s Look of the Day series features stylish summer outfits perfect for exploring cool spots close to home! Even though many states are starting to open up there is so much uncertainty to navigate. I would wager that most of us will opt for staying close to home this summer. It’s the summer of all summers to embrace our local spots and create fun staycations.
I’m not sure what the “correct” close to home distance is but if I had to guess I would say places within 3-4 hours. Recently we pushed it a little farther and road tripped to Myrtle Beach to spend a few weeks with our family. It was SOOOO worth the 7.5 hour drive to see them and spend time at the beach. We were well over due for a little change of scenery and some R,R, & R. (Rest, Relaxation, Reset). I’m sure most of you can relate.
OLIPHANT DESIGNS
In preparation for our trip I was outfit planning and looking for stylish pieces that were extremely light weight and breathable. I was really excited when I came across Connecticut brand Oliphant. I had the opportunity to correspond with Cara, founder and designer of Oliphant. She was so sweet to talk to me about how she selects the finest lightweight fabrics. She then creates fun and flirty silhouettes with bold patterns creating must have summer staples!
I couldn’t wait for the opportunity to style a few Oliphant dresses in South Carolina and then share with you! I can now officially attest that Oliphant’s garments are the lightest dresses I’ve ever worn!
We drove to Charleston one day and it was extremely humid. There was very little breeze while walking through the town and I was extremely thankful to be wearing the Sleeveless Wrap Dress. I did bring a few other dresses to style and capture photos of while we were there. After taking pictures in the other dresses I couldn’t wait to be back in Oliphant’s wrap dress. It was seriously a noticeable difference in how comfortable I felt.
Monday and Wednesday’s looks feature Oliphant’s Long Tiered Tassel Dress, Button Front Skirt, and Ratton Fan Earrings.
Whether you are staying a few minutes or a few hours from home it’s bound to be hot! Hopefully these stylish summer outfits will help you stay comfortable, cool and looking good!
