Charlie and I are spending a few days with my grandmother in Charleston! I am so grateful that my grandparents chose to move to this charming city 35 years ago. It is probably my most favorite place to visit. Dave and I still dream of packing up and moving here one day. We will see if that dream ever becomes reality!

When I’m packing for a vacation or quick trip, I always start with a color palette. By doing this I know that I can mix and match pieces and really maximize the use of each item I’m packing. Items that I would usually only wear once can now we worn in different ways! For this trip I focused on white, blues and pinks to get me through our active days and dinners out.

I picked up this white seersucker dress from Nordstrom last week and love the tie detail on the sleeves. The silhouette feels dressy but the fabric is casual which is the perfect combination to take me from day to night. I paired it with my go-to Valentino flats. I swear I have worn these more than any other flats I own. I know they cost a pretty penny but they truly transform every outfit. That probably means I need the black pair, right? Nordstrom has so many amazing new arrivals for women right now. You can shop my favorites below!

I also packed my favorite white jeans, my go-to off the shoulder top, neutral sandals, a shirtdress, a stripe tee and a cute peplum top. Follow along on my instagram and snapchat (@lizadamsss) for scenes from our trip!
