Savannah Shopping Day in Pink Suede Duster, Satchel Bag, & Spanx Moto Leggings

So I’m the king of woman who takes her shopping seriously. Like, very seriously.

And a key part of any successful shopping trip is feeling comfortable, casual, and confident.

This pink suede duster I scored last season at Dress Up Savannah, Spanx Leather Moto Leggings from FAbrik’, basic white H&M tee, black pumps, and oversized, handmade leather bag by Satchel make the perfect combination for a morning shopping excursion on the town - followed by an afternoon of running errands with little Rhett Jagger.

The neutral color pallet means each of these items pair well with one another, while the complimentary textures bring a little edge, and a little polish - bringing this outfit up a notch, or ten, from your basic mommy “tee and leggings” combo.

So, you might not know this, but Savannah’s Broughton Street, our current shopping district, is the OLDEST continuous shopping district in the country!

It’s so cool to be able to go about our day, flitting from store to store, boutique to boutique, knowing that Savannah residents and guests have been doing just the same thing for the last couple hundred years.

Today’s Broughton Street is a lovely mash-up of national retailers like Banana Republic and Michael Kors, local one-of-a-kind boutiques like Paris Market or Go Fish, salons, coffee shops (The Coffee Fox is one of our faves), restaurants, and more!

It’s an absolute MUST for any trip to Savannah! And make sure you check out this list of my favorite Savannah boutiques!
