Ty and I entertained out of town visitors this weekend. Nashville can be such a tourist trap that I typically avoid the "when-in-Nashville-sites" so I don't run into Midwesterners/Australians/retired Floridians/etc. in cowboy hats and boots (after 3 years, I feel like a local)... but when friends come to town, it is fun to get down with some honky tonks and Southern fried cooking.
If you are ever looking to come visit Music City, there are some great guides out on the internets. My personal favorite (most true to what I would actually want to do in Nashville) comes from the lovelies over at Design*Sponge (Nashville guide)
P.S. they have great guides for other cities too!
The weather here has been down right oppressive, and I was finally brave enough to bust out my crop top... and yes, it is the tamest crop top you have ever seen (my arms have to be over my head for my belly to show)... baby steps!
{ What I wore: H&M top // J.Crew necklace // Blank Denim via ModCloth mint jeans // Nine West sandals } |

What exploring have you been doing lately?
Do you ever act like a tourist in your own town?
Happy Monday!

I dont do much here in Huntsville since its a pretty quiet town but there are a few gelato spots that are fun to go to when Im in the mood to get out. I still consider Nashville my home so I make the 2 hour drive pretty regularly. My fave thing to do is eat at San Antonio Taco or at the Farmers Market :)
ReplyDeleteLove your "baby steps" crop top :) Im not daring enough to do it myself!
Love this look! Coral and Mint are my two favorite colors together! Say hello to Nashville for me, I cannot wait to be back there in the fall! I miss that city so much!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit combo! Both of those colors look stunning on you! I haven't been to Nashville in years, but I know it would be so fun to head up there as an adult!
ReplyDeleteOkay, if we ever make it to Nashville, I will be emailing you for the best places to go! Hope you guys had a good time! High five for the cropped top! Loving it...and you don't need to take a baby steps....I think it is the perfect length!

The coral and mint are gorgeous together! The Jersey shore is a huge tourist attraction in the summer so there's definitely places I'll avoid since I know they'll be super crowded.

That top is great! I think it fits you perfectly! I definitely like being a tourist in my city, it's just annoying when there's so many people in the way and you can't find a place to park! So I like to find less known but equally fun spots!

Loving the top and the j.crew necklace. Being a tourist in your own town is so much fun. . . makes you get out there and do stuff rather than doing the same things every weekend. Never been to Nashville - hopefully one day!

That color combination is fantastic! Since I've been gone from Nashville for almost 7 years, I love to do the touristy stuff when I'm back visiting. Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love coral and mint, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your necklace, really makes the outfit pop.
ReplyDeleteLove the top! I bought two crops this summer and haven't worn them yet... but I think I'll be layering them over a tank when I do (I know, I'm a chicken).
ReplyDeleteThe most touristy thing I've done in my city is the Harbour Hopper, which is a giant green land/water tour bus that actually "ribbits". LOL

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first contributing post lady, so exciting!
ReplyDeleteCute color combo, I love the mint with the coral top and the almost monochromatic necklace on top! I feel you on tourist traps - I live in Chicago, so I often avoid places for that very reason!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous girl! :) Love this top and that J.Crew bubble necklace is AMAZING! Love the colors!
ReplyDeletethat top and necklace are so cute!! i love the mint and red color combo ;)

I love this top on you! A baby crop is probably all I would rock too. Design Sponge did a city guide near me and it was AWESOME. Great info and reviews on places and restaurants.
