Sew Cute

Another preppy outfit of the day post is here! Recently my style has been super preppy and chic. This outfit is no exception. It features an embroidered white tunic and a bold tortoise shell necklace. I paired the tunic with a pair of simple brown flats and my typical accessories. For underneath I wore a navy romper that I picked up from Forever 21. It is a part of their new basics collection and will be great for layering in the future. Overall, this look is super relaxed and easy to wear.

The normal college student would dress down for finals week. But, I believe in the "look good feel good philosophy". If I'm in a dress or skirt maybe I will be less likely to fall asleep in my 7:30 am final.... actually I probably would still fall asleep. However, I would be dressed up and cute doing it! 

This look incorporates one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe right now. It is a tank skirt from J Crew. This skirt literally matches everything and it is super comfortable and practical. I paired it with a linen J Crew tee with a fun floral print on it. To accent the floral print I wore a bold flower statement necklace. It adds a bunch of color along with some texture. To keep myself warm I wore a green cargo jacket. This is one of my go-to pieces if I need a light jacket for the spring weather. Other accessories I wore include Kate Spade bow earrings and my favorite pair of Sperry's.

On this lovely warm day of spring I had an interview for my universities fashion magazine Trend. I am happy to announce that I am the new Accessories Director for the fall 2014 issue! This is a huge opportunity and I cannot wait to think of a concept and start planning my fall shoot. 

So, now for the outfit. I wore a super fun tulle skirt with a simple black tank. I recently picked up this skirt form a local boutique when I was in the Davenport area for Easter. The skirt is super comfy and not to mention super fun! Who doesn't love a midi tulle skirt? Very Sarah Jessica Parker inspired. For accessories I wore another recent purchase of mine, new bauble bar dangle earrings. These earrings were only $10 from their huge sale they recently had. I am basically obsessed with them! They are a great neutral earring that I think I will be able to wear a lot. I also accessorized with a fun BCBG bracelet and a gold skinny belt along with my typical everyday jewelry picks.

Trend Magazine: Spring 2014

A few weeks ago I had the Trend magazine release party. Trend is a student run magazine on my college's campus. I currently serve as the In-Studio assistant on the exec board. I am super proud of how my shoot turned out. It is everything that I could have wanted! 

 The Trend release party consists of pictures, fashion, and fun and it is when the magazine is officially released to everyone! This was also the first time that I had seen my spread for the magazine. It was super fun to take pictures and to visit with everyone.

Our wonderful Pi Phi friend Kaitlyn was a model in the fashion show at the release party. She of course looks gorgeous in this green floral dress.

For my outfit of the day I wore a fun and bright coral pink dress. It has accents of white lace which adds a super feminine touch. For accessories I wore a bold statement necklace because my dress was more simple. My heels are just a basic pair of nude pumps. I added a hint of coral with my bracelet from J Crew. Overall, this look made me feel like I was going to a tea party but in a very good and chic way.

Dress: Local boutique (Le Clair, Iowa)

Am I Bruno Mars? Maybe....

This outfit is a little hipster but also a little preppy. I combined a fun pair of multi colored plaid shorts with a short sleeve denim button down shirt. The shirt also features a peter pan collar detail. For accessories i wore a rope style white belt along with a fun fedora style hat. Basically when I wore this outfit I felt like I could be on a beach. But sadly I am still in crummy Iowa. However I am loving this somewhat preppy hipster ensemble!
