Preppy Girl Tag

So I watched quite a few YouTubers do this tag last week and really wanted to do it, so I figured I'd just type it up because... blogging.

1) What is your definition of 'preppy'?
Classic, put-together, and polished, lots of collared shirts and always, always, always with a dash of New England or nautical. 

2) What is your favorite all-time brand?
Most of my wardrobe at this point is J. Crew, but I adore older Lilly P. and have recently been liking Vineyard Vines. 

3) What is your favorite Lilly item and print?
My most treasured item is definitely my Dark N Stormy shift. My favorite print is First Impressions because 1) it reminds me of my bedding that I had up until I was 14 and 2) it was the first Lilly print I fell in love with in 8th grade. Notable mentions go to Chum Bucket, State of Mind and You Gotta Regatta. 

4) Favorite preppy Youtuber?
glamourkate08. Can I just say how perfect her hair is? Here's her Preppy Girl Tag Video
Bonus: My favorite bloggers are The College Prepster and Prep In Your Step

5) Jacks or Sperrys?
JACKS. 

6) Jeans or khakis?
Jeans. But if I could find a cute way to style khakis, believe me I would.

7) Opinion on oxfords?
You mean the only shirts I wear?

8) Duck boots, riding boots, or Hunters?
Riding boots because 1) it never rains or snows where I live and 2) I think they're the most polished option. 

9) Navy or black?
Navy is more year-round, but I do like black as long as its not on my nails. 

10) On a scale of 1-10, how much do you love J. Crew?
I'd say a solid 8.7. 

11) Favorite Ralph Lauren clothing item?
Either my white oxford with the obnoxious logo or my basic blue one.

See? Obnoxious. 

12) Pearls or bows?
Pearls!

Lilly Resort 2013!


 
They don't sell these shorts yet (fingers crossed!) but I'm already head over heels for them.

Overall I don't love the collection, however, I do like it and am already pretty fond of Mai Tai in small doses. Congrats to the Pink & Green Palace!

Retail Therapy

This past week was particularly stressful. Like hell-week-I-didn't-know-I-was-going-to-have-and-doing-assignments-the-class-period-before-they're-due-stressful.
Not fun. But today I have no school and tomorrow is for sure going to be an easy day and my mom was nice enough to indulge me in some (much-needed) online retail therapy. (I haven't been shopping since tax-free weekend in August, about two months ago. I think that's a new record.)

What I Bought: 

Outfit inspiration. Can I please have CP's entire wardrobe?



So I've been eyeing those belts for a couple months and I didn't know they were embroidered all the way around until after I ordered them... oops. At least they were over 1/2 off. #winning

Happy Columbus Day!
