20somethingcouture: spring has sprung

Spring is in full bloom here in Columbia! And we have been doing all we can to soak up the refreshing warm weather. This past weekend was The Carolina Cup, which is an annual horse race held in South Carolina - or in our eyes, a reason to dress up and tailgate all day. Traditional Carolina Cup wear for girls is a colorful spring dress accompanied by an obnoxiously large hat. Boys put on their best button ups with a bright, fancy bow tie. Most people partake a little too heavily in "cup festivities" and miss the horse race entirely...but we made sure to grab a front row seat!

Here is a picture with all of our friends from The Carolina Cup:

Since it is spring, we finally have the opportunity to break out our spring clothes, and it feels amazing! One piece we really love to adorn any outfit with right now is belts. We find that throwing them on over any outfit adds a chic flare, and shows off our (as in all girls) fabulous curves! Tonight, we grabbed one of our favorite belts, threw it over our outfits, and headed out to enjoy some delicious sushi. On our way home, we passed by an interesting rock that was decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphics. We couldn't help but pull the car over and take some quick photos by it.
