Knoxville in the Rain

We have had record amounts of rainfall in our area this summer, but that doesn't keep Mr. Mickey and me from taking fun trips to neighboring towns.

This weekend we took a trip down to Knoxville, Tennessee, about a hundred miles south-west of my home. Even with the rain, we still had fun shopping for antiques in one of my favorite places, Willow Creek Gallery.

During the first part of the day, I wore khaki ankle pants from Chico's with a tank top from Stein Mart and a lightweight red jacket from Chico's. The bag is by Coach. The sandals are Kenneth Cole Reaction via T.J.Maxx. 

 

We enjoyed our stay at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, which is very convenient to downtown and the shopping areas off of Kingston Pike. The odd spots in this photo are raindrops on the lens ... of course. 

In honor of our visit to this famous French restaurant, I wore side zip black ankle pants from Talbots and a black tank top from Stein Mart, along with a sheer black jacket with a soft ruffle at the front. The jacket is many years old. The shoes are also old by Sam and Libby. The ribbon detail clutch is from Stein Mart. 

We had dinner at The Orangery, which is a landmark in Knoxville. Being a great lover of all things French, I was thrilled just to be in the midst of all the building's statuary and architecture. The food and service were both superb! We will return as soon as possible.

The World's Fair was held in Knoxville in 1982, which is why this fabulous park was built.

I wore white ankle pants by Peck and Peck from Stein Mart with a Chico's skinny sweater over a white Chico's tank for the trip home. The shoes are also by Kenneth Cole Reaction via T.J.Maxx.
