Preppy Diaires: Preppy in Plaid




A few days ago I wore a super preppy border line school girl ensemble. But, I was kind of obsessed. So many of the fashion bloggers I follow wear plaid skirts. I was lucky to find this one at the J Crew outlet in the kids section (Yes I wear kids clothes. One of the many perks of being super short!). The skirt is kind of worn higher up on the waist and it has a super cute bow on the front. 

I paired the skirt with a simple white button down. A white button down really goes with anything! I always find myself reaching for mine. For accessories I picked my favorite J Crew necklace of the moment. It has a bunch of pearls with gold accents. To keep with the pearl theme I wore my pearl stud earrings. For my wrist I wore my typical combo of my watch and bangles. 

For shoes I wore my favorite brown boots along with a pair of brown opaque tights. To keep myself warm from class to class I threw on my J Crew infinity scarf. I liked how the plaid and the polka dot patterns mixed together. It created a fun and playful look. 

To finish the look I pulled my hair in a fun high pony and made it super curly. Then I popped on a bold red lipstick from Mary Kay.

OOTD: Formal Chapter




Every other Monday we have formal chapter and dinner at my lovely home of Pi Beta Phi. So, in other words its an excuse for me to put on heels and be fancy! (even though I show up to informal dinner dressed up....)

For this dinner look I wore my absolute favorite little black dress from H&M. For only being $10 I sure got my use out of it! It is super flattering and makes you look super slim. It has magical powers I swear. I paired the simple dress with a bold statement earring. Since I have finished gossip girl I just want to be Serena and wear super huge earrings. So, I tried my best here.I also wore my bright pink heels to accent the pink in the earrings.

 To add some pattern to the look I wore a pair of darker houndstooth tights. The pattern is pretty subtle but it still has impact on the look. For bangles I wore my Alex and Ani bracelets, of course, in addition to my Kate Spade colored bangle and a Juicy Couture hinge bracelet.

I would describe this look as classic with a twist. Pairing fun accessories with a little black dress is a great way to make it fun and trendy.

Accessory Obsessed


Accessory Obsessed I love basing an outfit off a fabulous jewelry piece. Wether it be a statement necklace or a fabulous earring its super easy to base your outfit around an accessory you are dying to wear. 

I styled 5 outfits around some of my favorite Kate Spade jewelry pieces. Kate Spade makes the best jewelry in my opinion. It tends to be preppy but you can truly wear some of the more basic pieces no matter what your style is! 

All these looks are super bold, colorful, and fun! Pairing simple bold colored pieces with a basic and another colorful piece make a great combination. I love using both bold colors, patterns, and jewelry in all of my looks.

Not to mention you can always wear a fun jewelry piece in an outfit. Whether you are wearing jeans or a ball gown I think jewelry is a vital piece to the puzzle when completing an outfit.

Graphic Sweaters

I have seen so many graphic or patterned sweaters recently. Spring may be on it's way but it still chilly out. So, take advantage of sweater weather while it is still here. I have found some super cute graphic sweaters from a variety of different places. There really is something for anyone's budget. These sweaters are from Old Navy, Forever 21, and J Crew. 

Fun sweaters like this can make a great simple outfit. Pair them with a pair of skinny jeans and boots and you have a cute, simple, and comfortable outfit. Or you could pair your sweater with a skirt and tights to make it a little less casual. 

Overall these sweaters are a super fun addition to any outfit. Not to mention there is one for no matter what your style or personality is.

Fun NYE Accessories!

NYE Accessories
It may be Christmas day but you have to start planning out your NYE ensemble! Lucky for you I picked out some of my favorite bling pieces that would be perfect to wear to count in the new year. 

Preppy 



1. I am in love with these tear drop earrings. They have a touch of gold accents which makes them stand out from your average pair of earrings. These would be a great small statement to make on the big night. 
2. This chunky oversized necklace would work great with a simple dress. 
3. A small crystal necklace is also a great option to enhance a sequin look. 

Girly




1. A gemmed bracelet is a fun way to play up a dress that may have embellishments at the neck. 
2. This bib necklace is super unique and would be fun with a circle skirt and maybe a crop top. 
3. A chandelier inspired necklace is perfect for a classic and girly girl. 
4. You can never go wrong with a fun statement crystal necklace.

Edgy Glam

1. Mix things up with a bright orange necklace this NYE. 
2. A fun chain and rhinestone bracelet will spice up a monochromatic dress. 
3. These earrings I feel like are glamours spikes. Trade in your studs and spikes for one night of glamour. These earrings will sure do the trick! 
4. This weaved beaded necklace is a cool and unique statement piece to pair with a simple dress. 

Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
