Ah, the Outer Banks. Where a glass of wine counts as an accessory. (It’s Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc, if you’re wondering.)

This is the most dressed up you’ll see me at the beach, but we spent the first part of the morning at brunch and hanging at my parents’ house before hitting the road. I decided this dress was perfect because it would be comfortable in the car for 3 hours, and it has a nice, sunny, “I’m at the beach and I’m not mad about it” vibe. The fact that the salty wind and humidity turned my hair into a 60s housewife flip within 10 minutes was just a bonus.

I think I made it pretty clear to everyone that I was at the beach last week (in this post and this one and in a lot of Instagrams), but I don’t know if I made it clear which beach. We were at Nags Head in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I grew up in North Carolina, so to me, “beach” can only mean the Outer Banks. I’ve heard Florida also has a few beaches, but I see no need to check.

Nags Head is just down the road from the spot where the Wright brothers took their first successful airplane flights in 1903. There’s a memorial and visitor center there now, so we stopped to check it out before heading to the airport for our flight home. When you’re about to get on a plane in a few hours, what better time to see where it all started, right?

So this outfit was my nerdy tourist/goodbye beach/travel look.

Do you see that? It’s aviation…reflected in my aviator sunglasses. Is your mind blown? Because it should be.
