OBX Vacation Part 2

It's been over a week since we returned home from vacation, and even though it's great being back in the swing of things, I miss the beach now more than ever! It doesn't help that it's already August. This summer is flying by and I don't like it! I'm so happy we have another trip planned in September because I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer quite yet. I'm going to keep sharing warm weather looks for as long as I can ;)

Without further ado, here are the rest of my snaps from our trip!

Romper: here | Shoes: here | Hat: J.Crew (seen in previous post)
Let me start out by saying I'm obsessed with this romper. I could live in it. It's so comfortable and just perfect for
a hot summer day, especially because the denim is lightweight. I have a swimsuit on underneath, but it can also
be worn with a regular bra. I bought a size small and I normally wear a small, but if you are much taller than I am
(I'm 5'4"), you might want to size up because it could be too short. I had to get a picture in front of this home, I
love all the brightly colored homes in OBX!

Top: here | Shorts: A&F (old)
One thing I need more of in my closet is anything ombre. I've always loved ombre, but for some reason I don't
have enough of it. This blouse is so easy, breezy and if you can't tell, I own way too much blue and white.



Shoes: here
Can't forget about the shoes! My new favorite addition to my shoe collection is from Target! I actually buy a lot of
shoes from Target, but I can't help it. Such amazing prices and for the most part they hold up well. And because
they don't break the bank, you can buy so many different designs each season ;)



Top: sold out, same brand similar here | Pants: here | Shoes: linked above

Probably my favorite outfit of the trip (hope I didn't say that already hehe) I couldn't

recommend these pants more! Perfect for the beach over top a swimsuit, or to lounge

around in, they are so comfortable and don't you just love the slits up the side?!

 

In my last post, I talked about food, so now I'll mention a couple other activites that we enjoyed other than the
beach. We drove to see the Bodie Island Lighthouse, just south of Nags Head. You can see it a few pictures back.
I don't know why, but I love lighthouses, it was also a great way to pass the time while we had an hour and a half
wait for dinner. My favorite activity was going to the Jockey's Ridge sand dunes. I know sand dunes might not
sound super exciting, but it's on the bayside and the best time to go is right before sunset (pictured above). You
climb these huge mountains of sand until you can see the sun setting over the bay. The kids were getting tired so
we didn't make it the whole time, but I definitely recommend it for you and your significant other! Very
romantic. Lastly, one of my favorite activities to do with the kids at the beach is mini golf, but that might not be
for everyone ;)

 

Hope you all enjoyed my vacation round-up! Looking forward to sharing our next trip in September to Charleston!!!
