I’m back from a whirl-wind trip to Charleston, SC after attending the wedding of one of my nieces. It was held on a boat, as you can see, and it was chilly, which you might not be able to see. I’m wearing a cute 1963ish silk dress which is obliterated by the very necessary white sweater. That was a real shame, but I’m also wearing vintage shoes, and carrying my vintage Gucci bamboo handle bag. (Side note: We looked at the new ones at the Gucci store. Good gracious, what a disaster they are. They are big old over-grown mutations of a sweet, classic handbag. It ought to be illegal.)
In the above photo: Niece Lindsay and her husband Ben, little brother Scott, me and little sis Susan. It was a beautiful venue for a wedding, and it just got better as the evening progressed:
Lovely photos! Glad you had a nice time.
Also, I linked to you on a post I wrote that included a pic of that fabric. I hope that is okay. Thanks again for your help!
That is great, and thanks so much for the kind words!
beautiful photos, lizzie – and the dress you’re wearing is so cute (even with the sweater covering the top!).
It looks glorious. So glad you had a wonderful time. Your family looks lovely and you silk dress is beautiful too!

Gorgeous photos–that sunset! The print on your dress looks really great; fabulous outfit, Lizzie! I’m loving Ben’s bow tie, too.
I really ought to show this dress in detail. The print is lovely, but it’s the sleeves that make it so special, and I had to cover them up!
Oh, thanks for the sweet words! In our casual world, it is fun to get dressed occasionally!
