Belk Southern Style Summit at Charleston Fashion Week

If I had to choose ONE word to sum up the Belk Southern Style Summit at Charleston Fashion Week it would be Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = Super- "above" The Belk team provided me with an unique and memorable experience. I love the fashion surprises and intimate settings provided during this trip.  cali- "beauty"  The scenery of Charleston was breathtaking.  fragilistic- "delicate" I was amazed how the belk team selected delicate accessories and fabulous outfits that matched my personal style and I rocked them to perfection under the tents, expiali- "to atone",  To atone is to do something "right" to make up for doing something wrong. No wrong was done I just thought it would be cool for you to know what that meant and -docious "educable" during my time in Charleston I connected and networked with other bloggers and business professionals. Now it's time to give you an inside look to what happened during my time at the premier fashion event of the southeast known as Charleston Fashion Week! 

The First Activation at the Belk Tent was centered around the Spare Me Style Statement: A-line, columns and trumpet skirts, along with tunics, over-sized shirtings.

I wore a beautiful vegan leather perforated sheath dress from Muse and paired it with my houndstooth blazer and JustFab Vernon Heels and Gigi New York Black Clutch. I mixed and mingled inside of the Tent before heading to dinner with the Fabulous Trina Turk.
