Brindle Boutique Floral Blouse for a Hike

I packed this blouse from Brindle Boutique on our North Carolina trip early June not knowing exactly when I would wear it. It is flowy and could have worked well with the shorts I brought (I also brought a pair of wide leg jeans which I did not wear), but I eventually decided to pair it with my olive skort and orange tennis shoes. On this particular day, we were going to be outdoors (as everyday), but our activities would not included water. I knew we would visit Hamilton Gardens in the morning, but we were unsure about our afternoon plans.

The gardens were mostly shaded but we missed the Rhodendrons festival by a week or two, so not much was in bloom. This hydrangea bush had many blooms so we took advantage of it for a pretty backdrop.

The gardens back up onto Chatuge lake so we enjoyed this part of it the most as there were a few benches. My two oldest boys sat there for a while and enjoyed watching the boats.

We did go on a real hike that afternoon at High Shoals trail where the trail takes you to two beautiful waterfalls. It actually made me think of our trip to Costa Rica on a smaller scale.

I really like belt bags on trips and this Free People one was a splurge as a gift to myself for my birthday last September. I have used it a lot on outings and in the fall, but it worked really well with my olive and orange color scheme for vacation.

You can shop this blouse here and use code MIREILLE for 20% off anything on the website. I am wearing size small and it is plenty roomy. I would read the size chart when ordering though as some things run a little small. Brindle Boutique has a kinds of fun pieces from bathing suits to pants, dresses, and bags. Here is a link to the items I have ordered or received from them: Mireille’s Favorites.

A bientôt!
