Preppy Diaries: Monogram Madness


Preppy Diaries: Monogram Madness


Since I have received my monogram items from I haven't been able to take them off. It's a legit problem everyone I'm telling you. 

But how could I? In this outfit I wore my new monogram puffy vest with a chevron button down top. So basically it was preppy overload, but it worked. For an added splash of color I wore a magenta bib necklace. Statement necklaces are a great way to add color into an neutral outfit like this one. 

In addition to the necklace I wore a stack of bangles along with a pair of pearl studs. My trusty black boots were also included in this look. 

This look is perfect for a casual day. Since it is snowing in Ames now this would be good to wear to class to give you an extra layer of warmth under your coat.  



I love the script of this monogram. It's super girly and feminine!

OOTD: Chevron Chic

OOTD: Chevron Chic
My obsession with chevron continues but I took a twist on this preppy pattern to make it a little edgy. By adding a cardigan with metal accents and a tie head band you can transform this girly print. 

The headband I am wearing is a sunflower print so I also utilized the idea of mixing prints in this look. 

With this look I kept the accessories pretty simple. I simply wore a tie head band, a set of bangles, a mouse watch, and a pair of stud earrings. For shoes I wore my trusty Michael Kors black boots. 


Where it's from: 
Shirt: American Eagle 
Cardigan: American Eagle 
Jeans: American Eagle 
Boots: Michael Kors 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & Brighton 
Headband: Brandy Melville 
Watch: ASOS 


The small hardware details in this cardigan like the zippers and studs make it a little more edgy then your average cardigan. 


Adding fun details like a quirky watch to an outfit can make it more unique and personal to you.

OOTN: Formal Dinner and First Chapter

OOTN: Formal Dinner and First Chapter 

The chevron obsession continues... 

This was my outfit for a formal sorority dinner along with my first ever chapter meeting as a initiated member. 

I wore this chevron patterned dress paired with my trusty blazer. Around my neck I wore this super chunky and oversized clear necklace. It fills up the empty space around my neck to balance out my outfit.

Adding the socks and heels add a little playfulness to the outfit. Also, it adds an extra level of chic-ness.




My accessories included Mary jane heels, a mouse watch, a clear statement necklace, and a small stack of bangles. 


Where it's from: 
Dress: Akira 
Blazer: Nordstrom 
Necklace: H&M

Socks: J Crew

Preppy Diaries: Mint and Chevron

OOTD: Mint and Chevron

The Outfit: This outfit is very J Crew inspired. I paired a black and white chevron top with mint green chino pants. Accessorizing with a fringe fan statement necklace and small bow touches I wanted to show off my ultra girly side. I would call this look chic and classic with a fun twist. The purple heels add a little bit of quirk to the otherwise very classic look. Overall, I love everything about this look!

Preppy Diaries: Chevron and Bubble Necklace

July 25th, 2013:

Today I kept things pretty casual. We went up to my Aunt's house who lives in Lake Forest for lunch (which was quite lovely might I add). Again, me trying to be preppy this is what I came up with.

The Outfit:
I paired this super cute chevron top with some simple tiffany blue colored shorts. This top is literally my obsession. I wish they made it in like every color because chevron is my favorite print at the moment. If it has chevron on it..... I want it. Then gotta have the classic J Crew inspired bubble necklace hanging out on my neck. Love this thing to death and it definitely fits the preppy bill. I paired the look with a darker pink lip stick/ stain from Mary Kay. (I wore a Covergirl outlast stain underneath it helped keep the lipstick in place all day)



Where it's from: 
Top: American Eagle 
Shorts: Aerie 
Necklace: Charming Charlie's 
I  also wore: 
Ring and Earrings: Kate Spade 
Bangles: Alex and Ani & Brighton 
Shoes: Sam Eldeman
