A Southern Style Christmas

On Friday I head to my family's home on a special little island outside of Charleston. The forecast is telling me to expect around 70 degree weather, a chance of showers, and some sunshine - quite different from the chilly temperatures here in Chicago. Half of me is sad to not experience a white Christmas, but at the same time I can't help but want to pull out my Spring and Fall wardrobe favorites to enjoy the warmer days! You better believe I'll be packing my Sperry's and a few other preppy, southern essentials.




How and where are you spending the holidays? Will you be soaking up a white Christmas or the sun?

  1. If you're traveling to the South you have to have a great silk scarf! Love your polka dot pick.

  2. My gold sperrys are my favorite but I don't get to wear them this time of year. Lucky you! Also love the white pants and gold sweater for the winter. Have fun at home dear! xo

  3. I love the preppy pastel take on the traditional green and red Christmas color palette. Have a fantastic trip! I have my fingers crossed for some winter white when we visit New Jersey!

  8. Loving those gold studs (need some) and the riding boots. I hope you have a wonderful time enjoying some sun and spending time with family. I'll be in lovely Wisco for Christmas, but then I'm heading south to Florida to finish off my winter break. Cannot wait to be poolside.

  11. I love this outfit so much!! I will be staying in Cincinnati for Christmas and then we are traveling to Maryland (outside of the DC area) to visit family after the holiday. I am not sure if I'll be in the right climate to sport my white denim...but I will definitely try the other looks! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday week and be sure to check out my giveaway on Twirling Clare xoxo http://twirlingclare.blogspot.com/2011/12/holiday-giveaway-featuring-sweatybands.html

  12. Christmas in Charleston sounds so fun! I will be heading back from Cancun tomorrow, unpacking my bathing suits, packing some sweaters and heading to NY... oddly the forecast is 50 for Christmas day so it doesn't look like it will be a white Christmas! Enjoy your trip, xo

  17. I live in Charleston, and the weather is indeed perfect. It's a little hard to get in the holiday spirit when it feels like April outside, but it's hard to complain, too. I'll be heading north to Virginia. I hope you have fun while you're down here!
