Red, white, and Blue in Old Town Alabama

My hubby and I happen to be going to North Carolina to celebrate the 4th with his family, so I'm actually writing this post as we road trip along the picturesque, tree-lined Dixie highways.
 Although our trip is a long one (Texas to North Carolina is quite the drive,) we've managed to find time to stop a few places along the way to take in the scenery and a little bit of southern history. When we drove through Montgomery today I couldn't help myself, I had to see the refurbished historical district of Old Town Alabama.

With homes and buildings restored to their origins dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries when Alabama was first settled, this beautiful array of architecture is 6 blocks of charming American history. In all my excitement of seeing such an interesting place, I didn't get any architectural pictures to share with you but I did manage to take just a few pictures of yet another 4th of July inspired look (because I just can't get enough of the red, white, and blue cuteness this year y'all!) 

Our sweet little dog Minky joined us on this trip. (If you are wondering where our Yorkie Hank is, he's on a vacation of his own at a local and absolutely adorable pet resort called Barkaritaville.) She just loved walking around the historic neighborhood and of course getting attention from all the people she met while we were there.

My Dress is a great little find I picked up at my local Marshall's

 
I just love layering statement necklaces; I think it give an extra pop to any outfit. These two are from Charming Charlie's and Francesca's.

 

 

 

These vibrant red shoes that balance out the likewise hued necklace have the cutest gold detail above the heel, which I just love! They are from Aldo.

 

 

Happy 4th to you and yours!

Thanks for stopping by my friends.
