OOTD: Mixing Prints

All mixed up!
For this work look I decided to mix it up a bit. And by that I mean mixing prints. Sometimes I am afraid to mix prints because some people are probably like what is that girl wearing?! But, I decided that this look gets the job done in a very subtle way. I paired a navy and white polka dot dress with this super fun white and navy striped scarf. By sticking in the same color family it makes the look less intimidating in my opinion. I paired the look with a nude sandal and simple gold accessories to complete the look. 

What is your favorite way to mix prints? Let me know in the comments!

Red, white, and chic!

All American girl
I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day! Everyone should take a moment to honor those who have fought for our country and freedom. 
Here are some of my favorite red, white, and blue pieces! Any of these would be perfect to wear on Memorial day or the 4th of July or any day you are feeling patriotic.

OOTD: Tiffany Blue and Polka Dots

Polka dots and Tiffany blue
Today features a fun pair of navy polka dot pants and a bright Tiffany blue sweater. These pants are super fun and not to mention comfortable. I would consider them a classy sweat pant. For accessories I wore my Tiffany blue rosette necklace to add a bold statement. On my feet I wore my classic pair of neutral Sperry Top Sider boat shoes. This look was super fun, preppy, and comfortable! 

Remember, you CAN look cute and comfy! Resist the urge to wear the sweatpants!

OOTD: Vintage Dots



Today's outfit features one of my recent purchases a pink polka dot blouse. It's super cute and was on clearance for only $9! I paired the top with my favorite pair of Topshop shorts. To keep my legs warm I put on a pair of black tights. 

Accessories for the look included a big chunky statement necklace that accents the black and pink in the shirt. Also, I wore my favorite Hunter rain boots so I can dodge the giant puddles on campus. 

Overall, the look is super vintage and cute. I love how polka dots mix with the pattern in the shorts. It creates a nice look as a whole.

OOTD: It's freezing out.....


Get out your mittens and scarfs its COLD OUTSIDE! Recently I have been dressing for the weather more then for fashion which makes me super sad. But, when your a college student who has to walk to class you have to prepare for the crazy snow and temperatures that comes along with it. 

So, recently I have been super into scarves, vests, and jeans. In this outfit I have multiple layers to stay warm. I am wearing a denim button down, a embellished sweatshirt, and a simple pair of skinny jeans. I paired the look with my new favorite scarf and hat from J Crew. For accessories I wore a pearl statement necklace and pearl earrings. 

Overall the look is super simple but it is comfortable and most important warm!

I'm loving this super chunky scarf! It keeps me nice and warm when it is below zero. 


No outfit is complete without my Michael Kors watch.

OOTD: Collars and Sequins

OOTD: Collars and Sequins 

Today, yet again, I brought out my preppy side with a combination of sequins, collars, and sweaters. 
I layered a denim button down with this super cute sweatshirt. The sweatshirt has a sequin polka dot detail which makes it less casual. Not to mention this will be perfect for the holiday season. 

I paired the layered tops with a army green skirt. The zipper detail on the skirt edges up the normally very girly look. 

On my feet I wore my trusty black boots and around my neck I wore a collar inspired grey tone necklace.

Preppy Diaries: Coral Crush

Preppy Diaries: Coral Crush 

This rosette necklace is the classic symbol for being preppy. It reminds me of Sarabelle93x which lets be honest, who doesn't love her? The necklace is J Crew inspired and I purchased it on www.veryjane.com

The Outfit: I wore this bright coral sweater thinking it might actually feel like fall. Not to my surprise it was still 80 degrees out in Ames. But, for fashion purposes I toughed it out. I paired the sweater with denim polka dot shorts. Of course I also wore my cream rosette necklace that I am border line obsessed with. {it's casual} 
I completed the look with simple brown flats and some wavy hair action. 

A simple hair option is to sleep with your hair wet in braids. Mine dries by the time I wake up and you have kinky waves instantly.

OOTD: Polka Dots

July 28th, 2013:

Today, my family and I went to a Spanish restaurant. It being a Spanish style restaurant we ordered a lot of Tapas they call them. In other words we had a lot of little dishes which made on big meal. I was kind of hesitant at first but it was super yummy!

Also, today my Mom and I went college shopping at Target. We were in there for about 2 hours. Yes you can spend 2 hours in Target. I got a TON of things that I really needed to get. Such as sheets, bed bug protector, memory foam pad, and a bunch of little things. My dorm theme (well my side of the dorm) is the color scheme of purple, grey, black, and white. So that is the direction I am going. Purple is my favorite color so I have to do that color of course. I will for sure do a whole thing on my dorm once I set everything up at my school.

The Outfit: It is still cold in Chicago! Omg! But, it wasn't too bad today. All I needed was this denim jacket over this super cute dress. I originally had flats on but I had to switch for dinner to be a little more fancy. This dress is super light and easy and really comfortable.

Side note: Aren't my brother's shoes so chic! I love them. He was pretty proud of himself when he bought them.
