I’m spending some quality time with my family on the west shores of Michigan so I’m making this one brief. I thought this easy breezy outfit was perfect for walking around the cute little streets of South Haven. Hats and maxi skirts are not my typical go-to items but I always feel like I can try something a little different when I’m traveling. I guess my getaway frame of mind spills over into all aspects of my life. This Madewell tee is actually more orange but for some reason it appears pinkish red on these pictures, at least on my screen. It’s a pretty color though, just not the right one.
Life happens at a different pace around here. It’s true what they say…life IS better at the beach.
Follow along on Instagram for more snapshots of our time here in this friendly beachtown.

Oh, the Great Lakes are so perfect in the summer. I grew up in the U.P. and just got back from a visit. Lake Superior is still a tad bit cold. Brrr. But, you can’t beat the weather. We also just moved to NE Ohio from Florida and I am loving this weather. I’m sure I will say otherwise this winter. 🙂 Love your maxi and read, white, and blue vibe
What a great red, white, and blue look! Fabulous beachy chic!
I love the colors of the outfit and background. I didn’t know Michigan had beaches. Enjoy your family time, and God Bless. Rachel xo
Love your color combo here!!
