Happy Sunday, ladies! I'm writing to you from Charleston, on a short vacation with a long-time friend. We arrived yesterday, and let me tell you: we got lucky—perfect weather to complement a magnificent city. If you haven't been, you must. And because I'm with an old friend, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today because I'm with an old friend. So, I thought I'd try something new: a Summer outfit retrospective.
I go through the archives a lot over here on the blog. But today, I'm a little more focused. I went back 5 years from 2017-2021 and picked my favorite outfit from June of that year. I've recreated each outfit for you with current, in-stock items from some of our favorite retailers.
The only question for you is this: how did the outfits hold up? One of the goals over here at the blog is to deliver classic style that you can go back to over the years. I like to think all of the outfits have succeeded, but I'll let you be the judge. 😉

Oh you lucky! I love Charleston ❤
Great post. The classics never fail to deliver, do they?
All great looks. My fav is the white pants/black Lacoste.
You looked great in all.
Have a wonderful time w/your friend.
I recently visited Charleston. Great city for walking, shopping, dining, etc. So many great shops! Charleston Shoe is a great local retailer. My favorite look is the first, navy shirt dress. What a great silhouette, I’d buy that in a second if it was available. Also love Tuckernuck, but like the more tailored aspect of the original design.
AWESOME!!!!!
Have fun in Chucktown!
All are classic looks & look just as fresh today as they did when you first wore them.
Love this! Would like to see more like this.
Great retrospective … amazing how the looks stand the test of time. Nice to see how Classics are … so classic.
Love Charleston! Get there about once a year.
Have fun with your long-time friend!
What a wonderful post idea! This could totally be a monthly thing, so fun to look back like this. My fave is the navy dress (obsessed with that belt!) but they all stand the test of time for sure. And even if they didn’t, looking at why and/or how to bring it more up to date would be really informative too, and I know one reason (of many) that so many of us (myself included) read your blog for the education!
