Carolina Girls are the Best in the World!
I'm a North Carolinian born and raised. I've never lived in another state (except for when Mr studied medicine in DC our first 3 years of marriage - I considered that my second home since I only flew up for weekend visits). I love my state. So much that I've spent years advocating for various public policies, aided campaigns and served on the leadership level of two PAC's. Mr loves NC too. He was born and raised here & went to UNC - Chapel Hill - Obsessed with the Tar Heels.
I've spent all my life in the Charlotte area with the exception of undergrad on the coast. I adore the Queen City and have big plans to return this summer (house hunting is soooo hard ... and Expensive!) It's the perfect location: southern, moderate size city, 3 hours from the coast & 2 from the mountains, international airport, and the shopping is just fabulous! Mr and I are have lived on the NC coast for the past 2 years but our time here is up. We've never considered living in another state - It's those gorgeous Carolina blue skies!
So Carolina blue is a specific shade of blue - light and airy. It's Mr's favorite - a 'tar heel' thing. Some may call it powder blue or sky blue but to us it's 'Carolina Blue'. I don't have as much of it as I'd like in my closet, so when I saw this dress I had two thoughts - Easter & Mr will love it!
Mr does love it - although he doesn't understand my massive collection of dresses ... I don't understand his collection of golf clubs so we're even in my mind.
I'm still not sure which dress I'm going to wear on Easter Sunday - we'll discuss tomorrow. Decisions! Decisions! It's my most favorite day of the year so it's a big deal!
This dress is versatile by pairing a blazer and pumps for work and wedges/sandals for weekend.
Whether you're a Carolina girl or not - I definitely suggest a visit to our beautiful state, this pastel blue is a perfect shade for spring!
Dress Beautifully in Carolina Blue

Such a pretty dress! For me, it's the one that got away! I tried it on on my way to a speaking event, and decided I would wait and if I still wanted it afterward, I would go back. Famous last thoughts :). I forgot to go back and since i was out of town, I can't find it here. I have searched desperately! I even posted your pretty pic on FB and had people sending me wrong dresses that I had to figure out how to return! Obsessive much? Me? :)
Anyway, if you see another in a 4 or 6, or so, please GRAB it and email me @drginaloudon@gmail.com. OR if you decide to sell it, know that I will give it a great home! I do a daily TV show and I need odd color dresses to break it up a little. I love this "Carolina" blue! And I love your blog, and message! Thank you!
