I just took a week vacation with my boyfriend’s family. We vacationed in Martha’s Vineyard, an island
of Massachusetts. I couldn’t
wait to dunk myself in the salt water and taste fresh lobster!
I tend to be ambitious when it comes to packing my
suitcase. We’re talking excel
spreadsheets – months in advance! My
boyfriend attempted to burst my bubble, requesting that I consciously pack my
outfits, because we were driving a full car to the vineyard. Mr. V. actually challenged me to one outfit
per day (Challenge not accepted, by the way)! I had been busy, planning outfits
and scouting Pinterest for outfit inspiration ever since I was invited. Nautical stripes, beach hats, and maxi’s were
on the top of my list! I picked out 3
fedoras and one floppy hat to wear, then I forgot them entirely on the floor of
my apartment. Operation Find A Fedora
was in full effect once on the road – scouring gas stations and gift shops for
the first and cheapest fedora I could find.
I had a great time on the family vacation and am extremely
thankful for the invitation. Exploring
Martha’s Vineyard was beautiful, and relaxing on the beach was so
peaceful. Speaking of exploring, my
boyfriend and I scheduled activities for the two of us – planning shopping
outings, ice cream trips, and a catamaran tour – sailing on the Mad Max!
The Mad Max is where all three of my top items came into
play! Sailing from 6:15-8:15pm was going
to be chilly and windy. The easiest way to stay warm on a cool summer’s night
is to throw on a maxi dress. I paired it
with a distressed denim jacket, a red bauble necklace, and my new fedora
We made friends with the couple next to us – who also happen to be from Ohio and have a few friends in common with us. It’s small world, after all.
