Monday I shared pictures of what I was wearing this weekend in Charleston and today I would like to share with you what I wore on my second day at the coast. On Sunday we visited Folly Beach (which is technically not Charleston anymore but it’s where the locals go) and spend the day at the seaside. It is strange for me seeing the Atlantic Ocean from the opposite coastline since I am used to seeing it from the European side. The colours of Folly Beach reminds me a lot of the northern Spanish coast because of the long beaches and the dark water, which created in me a mixed experience of feelings…
At the beach I was wearing a look with a similar silhouette to the day before, as I mentioned I find high waisted short comfortable and a little bit more dressy than regular shorts. These shorts were acquired from the swapping party that I organised a few weeks ago (if you missed it, you can read about it here). I knew I would love them from the moment I saw my friend hang them on the clothes rack. The print reminds me of the Marimekko’s print. Marimekko is a Finnish design company that was very popular in the 60’s thanks to its original and bright prints. I also love that you get a second-hand item but that it’s being pre-loved by one of your friends, which make it a bit more special! Since the short are a little bit flashy I combined them with a plain white t-shirt and yellow ballerinas that I was wearing the day before (I also told you I like to travel light).
In the pictures, you can appreciate how beautiful is Folly Beach and I would highly recommend you to go if you are planning to spend some time around the South East coast. I would love to hear which is your favourite pre-loved garment and why? Please share below!!
