College Tours: Who/ What/ Wear

So Spring Break was last week, and I was of course touring colleges! (Gotta love junior year!).  I went up to Virginia, and just let me tell you it is BEAUTIFUL up there.  We passed through plantation country and it was to die for- honestly I may have found my true calling as a plantation owner.  I toured William & Mary, UVA, and Washington & Lee, and fell in love with two out of the three (feel free to guess).  However while on these tours I realized something very upsetting. Students on college tours do not dress well. I cannot begin to tell you how many people I saw following after the tour guides in stuffy, tight t-shirts with shoes lacking supports on their feet. There is no way they were comfortable, so I have decided that for those of you who do not know what to wear on college tours I will create a fall and spring guide :)

Spring: "Springtime the only pretty ring time"- William Shakespeare/ Willy Wonka

In the springtime wide legged jeans are the way to go!!  Pair dark bootleg denim with a sleeveless button down shirt and wear comfortable Sperrys.  You'll be comfortable, look cute, and best of all you may find your dream school :)








Fall: "Dear College, I am writing to inform you that I am rejecting your rejection letter.  Sincerely, see you in the fall"- Dear Blank Please Blank
In the fall, there is nothing like a soft, comfy sweater to keep you warm on a chilly day!  My suggestion? A heavy cable knit or soft cashmere sweater!  Throw on skinnies and flat boots (heels will kill you). Add a statemtnt necklace. You're gorgeous- now worry about getting in :)








Preppy Living Ya'll!
(PS- My Favorites were UVA and Washington and Lee)

Discovery!

I. HAVE. MADE. THE. MOST. AMAZING. DISCOVERY!  This may come as a shock to some of you (it came as a shock to me!) but I did not know what Rue La La was until today! Rue La La is a website that each day opens "boutiques" which are open for two days only.  The boutiques sometimes focus on a specific designer.  Lilly Pulitzer boutiques have been opened, and there is a 7 for all mankind boutique open right now!  The boutiques offer clothing, jewlery, and other accessories (SHOES), at private sale prices.  Heck, there are Olivia Riegel picture frames on this website, for almost half off.  I am in love <3  You need an invite to join, so click on my link and sign up!  http://www.ruelala.com/invite/anhnzkyt
Note to self, buy Milly Ecru and Black Absrat dress for more than half off. <3

Preppy Living Ya'll!

Snow Place Like The South

     Hey Ya'll, it's that time of year again in the South! Thats right, it's snow time :D On account of the "Impending Inclement Weather" school has decided to give us the day off and so in order to honor this decision I have spent my snow day the preppy way! I've been wearing pajamas all day, watching classic movies, and soon I'm going to bake some cupcakes! Hmm should I make pink and green vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes with pink raspberry icing? In other news, Duke (<3) beat Maryland last night! This was a tough game for me to watch because I have family connections to Maryland- my mom went there for a while, my cousins go there- but I have a deep love for Duke University as my potential future home.
     Have any of you started thinking of summer plans? I'm still waiting to hear back from the NC Governor's School (cross your fingers that I get in ya'll), but if that doesn't work out hopefully I can do some more traveling. Last year I went to China with Margo, and we had the most amazing time :) Someday I plan to go back!  For your special enjoyment readers I'm going to post some pictures of our Chinese summer exploits to remind you that summer is just around the wintery, frigid, snow day corner!
