Southern Hospitality

I have to say that I had an absolutely fabulous weekend in Charlotte, NC. It was filled with good food, great atmosphere, and wonderful company. Downtown Charlotte was so pretty and very very clean! We stayed at the Omni hotel which was nice. The concierge was very knowledgeable as well as the front desk. The room was well lit, large, and the beds were comfortable which made for a great stay. Weather wise we also were very lucky; it was sunny and warm the entire time we were there which made Saturday great for lounging at the pool. The formal itself was wonderful. No detail was overlooked which is surprising since men were the organizers of the weekend; I was without a doubt very impressed. Here are some pictures from my fabulous weekend. Enjoy!The room had a great view. Each night around nine we were able to look out our window and see a small brass band playing on the corner, it was so great!This is a picture of my date and I from Friday night after dinner. A few of us were touring the city and we found an adorable little alcove with a fountain which was so cute! I also tried the romper/jumper trend and I do have to say that it isn't my style but it was so comfortable! It was dressy enough for dinner because the fabric had a satin finish with a textured pattern. I made it more 'my style' by added pearl studs, pearl necklace and my JR's. I got many compliments and although owning one romper is plenty for me, I know I will get a lot of wear out of it.K, C, N, and I lounging by the pool. Having my sorority sisters there added even more fun to the weekend. We loved soaking up the sun together.My date bBf and I before dinner. I completed my Calvin Klein frock with a double strand of pearls, pearl studs, gold and diamond ring, and black pumps. I loved my dress!
With my lovely sorority sisters again. They all looked so pretty too! My dress was actually a floor length gown when I purchased it but since I wore a gown to my formal with bBf, I thought I'd change it up. So, I had the bottom hemmed and just loved it!
I hope you all had as fabulous of a weekend as I did. Have a great day!

Headed down south!

I am headed to Charlotte, NC for the weekend to attend a fraternity formal! I am so excited! We are staying the entire weekend in the Omni hotel which looks fabulous. A lot of my sorority sisters were asked as well so it should be great. What a great way to end my birthday week! Friday we are going to go out for dinner and drinks and then on Saturday we are going to sight see. I have never been to Charlotte so this is a real treat! I have adorable outfits planned so I'll be sure to share them with you all once I return to Virginia. I am so excited for my dress. It is short this time since I wore a gown to my formal. It's made by Calvin Klein and it's a champagne/nude color! I can't wait to post pictures.

These are just 2 pictures of the hotel I found online, but it looks beautiful. Have any of you ever stayed there? Do you have any recomendations on fun things to do in Charlotte? TONIGHT is Greek Sing to cap off Greek Week. We have been preparing for months and working so hard, so hopefully ZTA brings home a win!! Wish me luck! Have a fabulous day!
