Preppy Diaries: Whales and Seersucker

Whales and Seersuckers oh my! Am I on a boat? No but I wish I was. 


This look is super preppy and nautical of course. Basically I feel like I live on boat but I live in Iowa... so there is that. But, this look includes seersucker, pearls, and of course Vineyard Vines. I paired a fun seersucker blazer with a simple light pink tank and classic dark jeans. For accessories I wore my favorite pearl statement necklace from J Crew. I like how it adds a bunch of layers to the look. Also, I wore a Vineyard Vines baseball cap along with a neutral pair of Sperry Top Sider. 

Overall I loved this look and I am dying to wear this blazer again! 


Where it's from: 
Blazer: Gap 
Tank: J Crew 
Jeans: American Eagle 
Hat: Vineyard Vines

Shoes: Sperry Top Sider 

Get the look! 
Here are all the pieces of my preppy look. Some of these are the exact pieces and others are very similar!

OOTD: I'm secretly a hipster

OOTD: I'm secretly a hipster 

Deep down under my pearls and monograms I am basically a hardcore hipster. 
Just kidding not really but I do like to mix up my style every once in a while. Everyone has those days that they just want to be a BA. 

My hipster outfit included a basic black long sleeve, a pair of denim shorts with velvet details, and striped tights. 

Of course I needed a pair of combat boots to complete the look. 
These shoes are pretty much the edgiest thing I own but I love them. They are super comfortable and they aren't super tall which is nice for short legs! 

On my head I wore a clever beanie from Brandy Melville. I love beanies because they keep your head warm but they can also be fun and clever. Not to mention beanies are a huge trend right now.

Rush Outfits of the Week

Rush Outfits of the Week: 
Day 1: T-shirt with any bottoms
This day we were given a t-shirt that we had to wear. I styled it with a black and white skirt to make it a little bit more me. Most girls wore shorts this day but as you may have learned I'm more of a skirts kind of girl. 

Where it's from: 
Shirt: ---
Skirt: Forever 21 
Shoes: Target 
Necklace: J Crew 
Bracelets: Henri Bendel, Dry Goods, and Alex and Ani

Day 2: Shorts or skirt with a nice top. 
So this day was still super casual. Most people had shorts with a nice top or a skirt. I wore this lazer cut pleather skirt with a simple black tank. This day it was beyond hot so I kept things relatively simple. But, I thought it was a unique outfit and it stood out. The main thing to remember is your'e impressing girls not boys! So look cute, feminine, and classy don't worry about the boys till later. 


Where it's from: 
Tank: Aerie 
Skirt: Akira 
Shoes: Sam Eldeman 
Necklace: Dry Goods 

Day 3: Sundress 
This day was another step up in attire. We all had to wear just sundresses or a cute dress. But, it was still casual. I wore this teal dress that has a lot of different details including a tie in the front and cut outs on the sleeves. Pairing the look with a statement necklace and wedges I was good to go! Also, a big tip is wear a topknot. It keeps your hair out of your face and prevents you from twirling it or touching it to much. 


Where it's from: 
Dress: American Eagle 
Necklace: Dry Goods 
Shoes: Guess 
Preference Night: Formal Dress
This is the most formal of all the nights. I simply paired this aqua mint dress with a huge statement necklace. The look is simple but still stands out at the same time.

Where it's from: 
Dress: Akira 
Necklace: Topshop 
Shoes: Jessica Simpson

I am doing the Keds 20 day challenge! So here is the picture/ outfit for today's challenge of High Class. 

The Outfit: When I think of "High Class" I think of a topknot and pearl studs. So I paired those two things with a simple romper. I completed the look with a hit of red lip stain and of course my white Keds tennis shoes. Overall it is a pretty simple outfit. But I think it embodies high class in a casual way.

OOTD: Shopping and Teen Choice viewing

August 11th, 2013:
Today was a pretty fun day. I got lunch with my Aunt and cousin, went shopping, ate dinner with my Aunt and Uncle, then watched my boys on the Teen Choice awards. Since I am leaving for college in less than a week I have been seeing a lot of people recently. Basically squeezing everyone in at the last minute for visits. Anyways here is my outfit of the day.

The Outfit: I paired this basic v-neck shirt with this super fun fringe skirt. The skirt is a stretchy material and is super comfy, well I think all skirts are comfortable so what would I know. Anyways.... I paired it with a fun statement necklace and a topknot. In the picture it looks crooked but I promise it wasn't like that the whole day!

Where it's from: 
Top: Victoria Secret PINK 
Skirt: Pacsun 
Shoes: Ann Taylor 
Bracelets: Betsey Johnson, BCBG, and Dry Goods
Bag: Henri Bendel 
Necklace: Charming Charlie's 



Please tell me I'm not the only one who watched the Teen Choice awards right? So, of course my fab boys won all four of their awards! They won best love song (Little Things), best song by a group (Live While Were Young), best tour (WHICH I WAS AT), then best group! Then Harry won male hottie and best smile so yay! It's a good day to be a directioner. Also, I hope everyone saw their fabulous red carpet style. They always dress so good. 
Goal in life: Find a boy who dresses like them.

It has a very unique striped pattern that is very graphic. I paired it with a classic denim button down of course. All my accessories are rose gold (my favorite metal). Then I topped off the look with some bright pink lipstick and gloss.

OOTD: GNO

August 5th, 2013: 

Hey guys! So today I went to a Japanese stir fry place. I'm not a hundred percent what it was but I went there with my friends because it was our last time all being together before I leave for college! We all got dressed up so this is my outfit. 

The Outfit: I wore this royal blue maxi dress. It has a stud detailing on the sleeve along with two slits on the skirt. It's super comfy and soft and a really easy look to wear. I highly suggest maxi skirts or dresses to anyone who isn't really in to dresses because they are comfy and they don't show off to much skin! I completed the look with fringe chain necklace, stud earrings, and my usual bracelet combo. Overall the look is edgy without being overpowering.
