The Right... Spring Chinos

    There's something about the South that just makes my heart so happy. I haven't spent a crazy amount of time down there but the times I've visited I've fallen completely in love.  Maybe it's the easier way of life, the insanely nice people who live there (seriously everyone is so genuinely nice!) or the food.  I recently went down to Atlanta, GA and Auburn, AL to visit friends and attend a wedding.  It was my first solo domestic trip and it was awesome.  I caught up with Tiffany at the cutest coffee shop in Buckhead (although my flight was delayed so our time was cut short and let me tell you, we could have talked for hours!), I got to see one of my sorority sisters and her husband and their amazing Alpharetta home (I swooned over every detail and was also completely overcome with joy at all of their accomplishments) and went on a little bit of a road trip to Auburn to watch my little {sorority} sister get married to her best friend at the most beautiful Baptist church.  Oh and I ate my weight in biscuits, gravy and grits and wasn't mad about it one bit.

This was my travel outfit for the first day of the trip. Two things about this outfit: I haven't owned a pair of chinos in years and it's amazing how if you stalk something (this top) long enough, you can get it for a pretty good price.  I bought these chinos last fall when I started adding more basics into my wardrobe and they're perfect for the rare casual Friday at work and weekend adventures.  And this top.  Well, we have a bit of a history.  I actually purchased it last December for a holiday party and when I didn't end up wearing it, I returned it because it was a little more than I wanted to spend on it at the time.  Fast forward to randomly clicking over to the Club Monaco website last month and it was on further sale so I bought it without thinking twice.  Oh and these shoes?  They are the perfect addition to my wardrobe for warmer months and ridiculously comfortable.  I highly suggest you pick up a pair (or enter Hush Puppies' giveaway because they're giving away a pair of shoes a day in April!).   Get the Look (I linked a bunch of white peplum tops in case the spaghetti straps aren't your style):
