Sweet Southern Dreams


We are almost half way through June and people all over the country are celebrating the return of summer! Hot days, warm nights, barbecues, sweet tea, thunderstorms, days spent at the beach, and overall a relaxing sense and carefree attitude. I too am celebrating this magical season, but unfortunately classes and school work will be consuming my summer for my university is year round. But as I sit in at the library to write papers and study for exams, my new interest in country music is causing me to day dream endlessly of being in the south. As I day dream of carefree days spent in the south and reminisce of previous summers spent in South Carolina, I dream of the wardrobe I would be wearing, hence the inspiration board you see above.

I may not be making a trip down south anytime soon, but I'll be using my wardrobe, music selection, and attitude to transform my outlook into a summer and southern state of mind.
