Summer in the south means lots of sun, heat, and humidity. Â And growing up in Augusta, GA means that I’ve had a lot of time to discover what types of outfits can get me through these scorching southern summers. Â I’m always on the hunt for chic inexpensive ways to look stylish while staying comfortable… especially when I travel. Â On a recent trip to Savannah, the heat of summer was in full swing. Â I took along a light blue sundress that I recently picked up from Charming Charlie. Â Typically, I shop there for jewelry, but I found this adorable strapless blue sundress that I couldn’t pass up.
The light cotton fabric made it super airy and the perfect dress for exploring Georgia’s oldest city during a hot June day. Â You know there are those pieces that you see in the store, fall in love with it, don’t purchase it, and then later regret not taking it home? Â Well, this wasn’t going to be that piece for me. Â It was a great price, IÂ adored the ruffles and the light blue color (my favorite) was perfect for summer.
Whenever I pack to traverse a new city or embark on my next adventure, my go-to move is to make things simple and pack a dress. Â Jazz it up with a few accessories and you’re all set! Â It’s easy to be feminine but comfortable while traveling if you think about the activities you’ve lined up for your trip. Â I knew that our time in Savannah would feature a bit of shopping and dining, so I made sure to wear this dress on the day that I didn’t ride my bike.
Insider Tip: When in doubt, throw on a pair of hot pants under your dress (or carry them in your bag) Â in case you change up your plans, want to get a little more active and need a little coverage. Â
I’ve pulled together a few blue sundresses & accessories you should check out for your next adventure at home or afar:
