I’m loving the new Tibi location on St. Simons — maybe even a little too much because I constantly find myself in their store browsing for a new flowy dress. It didn’t help that last weekend was Sea Island’s Southern Grown Festival so I relied on the Tibi Outlet and the Cloister Collection for the perfect wardrobe for the event-filled four-day weekend.

On my last visit, Ginny, the Tibi store manager was wearing a navy satin poplin dress that I fell in love with. I tried it on and it fit perfectly, so I snagged it up right away. I paired it with my new sand lace-up sandals from Loeffler Randall (which I pretty much wear with everything). I donned this ruffle dress for Garden & Gun’s Southerner’s Cookbook Luncheon last Thursday. While I wore this for a more casual event, it can easily be dressed up and worn out in the evening as well! It was a bit warm during the luncheon (mid-80s) so this lightweight and flowy dress was the perfect choice. Afterwards, we headed to the riverside to catch a breeze, because you just can’t beat the views at the Cloister.
