STYLE DIARY | 4 LOOKS STYLED BY SOUTH MOON UNDER

Carlyle Thornton May 8, 2018

This post is sponsored by South Moon Under. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

In honor of the grand opening of South Moon Under at the Summit tomorrow, I wanted to create a style diary for you all. I'm so excited that this store has decided to open up their first Alabama location at my favorite shopping center in Birmingham! Don't forget that the first 25 guests to step inside the new store on Wednesday will receive mystery gift card prizes ranging from $10-$250! I'll be there at noon, so come on over and join the fun!

A little background about the company:

South Moon Under began as a small surf shack in the summer of 1968. Since then, they have evolved into a retailer that carries a mix of women's clothing, accessories and gifts! They still maintain their beach roots through their laid back and free spirited approach to style. The Birmingham store will be their 31st location (and the best yet in my opinion)!! ;)

I'll be adding to this post each week as I continue to reveal four of my favorite SMU styled looks on Instagram. In each of these posts I'll be wearing head to toe South Moon Under! Keep checking back for more!


Look ONE:

I'm truly obsessed with everything about this Free People wrap dress. The fit is so flattering and I love the way it flows. Not to mention the bright, cheery color/pattern that is perfect for Spring and Summer. I paired this dress with the comfiest and cutest pair of scalloped Sam Edelman heels. They are the most perfect taupe color that will go with just about anything in your closet. If you've been following along you know I love anything and everything "pom" this season. This pom circle tote is no exception- This beauty will be going everywhere with me from here on out!

Look TWO:

A romper? A maxi dress? I don't know what to even call this gorgeous piece of clothing but I'm all about it. Safe to say I'm completely in love with this Romper Maxi Dress by Abbeline. I wore this outfit around town all day on Saturday and truly felt like a bohemian princess. I love the fact that you look like you have a dress on from the back, but in reality you're wearing shorts. The pattern and colors of this piece are extremely stunning, also always a plus when the fabric is soft. I honestly wanted to lounge around in this outfit all day!

Look THREE:

Let me begin by sharing how fun I think this multi colored stripe top is! I've already worn this a few times (more than I would like to admit) and I'm still not tired of it. I've thrown this on for work, coffee dates, the mall... It is truly the perfect every day statement blouse. In these photos I paired it with the most comfortable pair of high-waisted white denim. My favorite part about these, other than the great fit, are the fray details on the ankles. I think this outfit would be perfect for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July or any day really!

Look FOUR:

Something I've come to love about South Moon Under over these past few weeks is how versatile their pieces are. In my opinion, each of these four outfits are completely different, yet can be styled together to create multiple unique and fabulous looks. There is something about each of them that I love in their own way. This last look has to be one of my favorites. Gingham is so on-trend this month and I knew from the second I saw this Free People skirt it had to be mine! I paired it with this adorable pink knit top with the most adorable ruffle details on the sleeves. This look would be perfect for any dressier events you have coming up!
