I'm back from a wonderful weekend in Charleston, SC! I'll have lots of fun pictures and reviews up soon, but in the meantime, I thought I'd post some pictures inspired by the dresses seen in Charleston. While out and about in the south, I noticed all the lovely dresses worn by all the southern belles. They were vibrant, bright, fun, and decidely gorgeous! Here are a few that remind me of the "Charleston Dress":
Notice the bright, vibrant colors in this lovely halter here by Anthropologie. The ribbon adds a ladylike touch.
This navy number by J Crew, shows the more classic and subdued dress style of the south. Strapless, with a simple pattern, but truly elegant.
This floral strapless would be perfect for the beachy cities of the south. This fun-colored dress is by Gap.
This dress is the epitome of southern, preppy style! Think super bright - super fun! Actually, any Lilly Pulitzer item is sure to please in the south! Dress available at Nordstom.
"Dress Tip" for travelers to the south: choose a strapless, lightweight dress in bright colors, but know that in the coastal towns, especially Charleston, you can get away with pairing your dress with flipflops!

Hey AnastasiaC!
I took a few fun pictures...my camera died on the one day we spent in historic Charleston :( (the other 2 days were spent on the beach...heehee). I'm also going to post some fun reviews of restaurants, bars, etc that you may want to check out when you make it to the south! I'm going to try to post them sometime this week!
