Venturing out to the Duke Mansion on a glorious fall afternoon is a must for garden lovers in the Uptown Charlotte area. Open to the public on most days during daylight hours, these gardens are a beautiful way to spend an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon. . . I wore one of the pieces that I picked up from @balticbornclothing , a brand that my sister introduced me to last month. The Marta Smocked Dress is perfect for a pairing with heels, or a pair of goldenrod bow mules if you plan on doing a bit of walking throughout the day. I paired the look with simple accessories, including the Catalina Bracelet from @gorjana that my grandfather gave me for my birthday earlier this month. .
