The fam and I had grand plans to take the ferry to Cape Lookout and explore yesterday morning. I got up early, tamed my hair, and put on this adorable sightseeing outfit. You can see where this is going… Turns out, there was no room at the inn on the ferry.

So instead I wore this outfit to the grocery store, the liquor store, and the souvenir shop. Needless to say, I was the best dressed person buying tequila at 9:30am. I wore this same dress and jacket while traveling on Saturday — it was the perfect comfortable plane outfit that was also totally beach-ready (because when you’ve been looking forward to the beach for so long, who has time to change once you get there?).

If all goes as planned, we are actually going to Cape Lookout today. Whether or not we’re successful in our quest, at least we still have margarita supplies leftover for when we get back!

It’s kind of weird to be looking out at the ocean after a day of sitting on the beach, and then editing these photos of myself wearing a jacket. I might have gotten sunburned today (yes, I wear sunscreen, I’m just that white), but it was legit pre-fall weather back in Indy last week. Coincidentally, my mom and I were just talking about Boden a few hours ago and what great prints they have. The proof is in this quilted bomber jacket. It’s really perfect for a fall weekend outing, but you know me and my lack of patience when it comes to wearing new clothes. Since a white eyelet dress is more of an early summer piece, I decided that pairing the two would average out to the right time of the season.

Tomorrow we’re heading to Cape Lookout, so if you want to see pretty pictures of lighthouses and crap, stop by my Instagram. You could just Google it, but where’s the fun in that?
