when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. am i right?! seriously, in my mind’s eye, shopping has always been FUN. but when i’m on vacation and a vacay with a bestie who also loves to shop? well, it’s time to throw on a pair of comfy and cute shoes and hit the streets. today, i’m sharing what to wear shopping in Savannah.

since Savannah is a hop, skip, and jump from Athens, i can pack my suitcase to the brim if i so choose. that’s the difference between air travel and car trips – suitcase weight allowances. ha! but when i pack for a 3-day getaway, i typically hit the sweet spot as i pack per outfit, not per item. e.g., i plan an outfit specifically for a shopping expedition, sightseeing, lunch/dinner, or a boat excursion. if you’re the type of woman who wants choices, then add an extra outfit or two if need be. 

what to wear shopping

there are two types of shopping expeditions – indoors or outdoors. since Savannah is an outdoor shopping venue with some of the best boutiques littered along Broughton Street and Bull Street, i need to pick my outfit wisely. what to wear shopping, especially when the temps hover around ninety degrees? here’s how i decide. when i am on my feet all day, a pair of comfy shoes is what i choose first. if our feet aren’t happy, then mama ain’t happy. choose wisely. espadrilles (old, similar opens in a new windowhere and opens in a new windowhere) are a favorite summer shoe with a wedge sole offering oodles of comfort. a dress would be a perfect choice to wear on a hot summer day. shorts or a skirt would also work. but when i was in Atlanta last weekend, i bopped into opens in a new windowBanana Republic and found this adorable pair of opens in a new windowlightweight pants  that are the perfect alternative to blue jeans. summer neutrals are always on-trend, so i knew these opens in a new windowpants would be on summer repeat. recently, i had a chance to visit opens in a new window Bloomingdale’s and picked up this opens in a new window tee with a subtle camo print. love how the color palette is in sync with the pants.

when you’re outfit is rooted in neutrals, accessories are the name of the game. a opens in a new windowfunky necklace and bangles (old, opens in a new window similar here) add oomph, a croco embossed belt (old, opens in a new windowsimilar here) adds polish. and if i’m power shopping, i want a opens in a new windowhandbag that can easily fit a bag or two. add a crossbody strap, and this girl is in heaven. but don’t forget a pair of jazzy earrings will always add that extra something.
