Back Down South was created from my desire to combine three things I can’t get enough of: street style photography, fashion blogs, and all things southern. The style featured here will not be solely seersucker and bow ties (though it’ll be exciting when it is), but rather a mix of “good looks below the Mason-Dixon line.” The people on Back Down South will be a variety of personal friends, strangers I pass on the street, owners and employees of southern based companies and more. In addition, there will be weekly music posts featuring great tunes from southern artists, as well as monthly posts on the goodness that is southern culture.
Make sure you follow Back Down South on Twitter and Like on Facebook for updates. Below is a short introduction of myself, photographed by Chris Bartelski.

Favorite things about the south:
The hospitality, the absurd accents, the delicious food, the hot summers, the change of seasons, the pride.

I was introducted recently to your blog and I just love it! Although people argue that Florida isn’t technically “the South”, I respond that the hospitality, charm and good style that I grew up with is nothing less. (I mean, where else would I have picked up a love for oversized pearls, bow ties and the word y’all?) Excited for your updates!

thats awesome that you have high cotton ties on here! Judy Hill was one of our committee moms in charlotte! I used to go walking with her all the time. My husband has one of her ties that was his end of school gift one year at west point! I am so glad that what she has created has taken off!
