How to Wear Your Fall to Winter Essentials in a Preppy Way

Saturday, November 30, 2013

As I look over my YouTube post, I think I should clarify that more in a blog post, should I? If you missed the new video or wonder [what in the world is she talking about?], here it is, y'all!

Let's describe this in outfits. In the first outfit,
A blazer ALWAYS dress the outfit up in a business-y way. Even some stores sell them for under $20! This blazer, paired with a button down, comfty jeans/jeggings, and cute flats, is a total staple for the colder months. Jeggings, super skinny, any type of jean will work for a lot and the most universal staple EVER. I wore this for Thanksgiving dinner and I thought this was a good outfit (yeah don't judge me) to gain a little weight from eating lots of baked mac and cheese.

I look too chubby, lol, but this is truly adorable to wear during the winter. If you add layers of long sleeved tops (1-2 would be just fine), a puffer vest is your BFF for the cold season if a coat is a bit too much or if you want to try something different. Also, sweaters are becoming much cuter with styles, graphics, and more things you can think of, they're an excuse to wear them by themselves or as layers. Long boots are my favorite shoes to walk around. Plus, you can dress them up in cute socks, tights, or even legwarmers.

I can't get enough with button-downs, even if they are paired with skirts (psst. I am wearing sheer tights so you won't drop your jaws). They are actually a year round preppy essential, and with varieties of how you wear 'em they are versatile.

This is a sparkly top, ladies and gentlemen. Like blazers, they dress up boring outfits. They are the "I'm Confident" tops that will make a bad morning better. Try not to overdo sparkle from head to toe, but no winter outfit is cute with out them!

So this is an excuse to post the same outfit again, but 3/4-long sleeve dresses are ideal and fun to accessorize. Since this photo was taken on a day there was warmer weather I did not wear tights, but I recommend to wear leggings/tights with 'em. They look so cute with riding boots. You'll never know if I'm going to do that idea. Let's see ;)
Scarves are essential to keep your neck warm. They are a good excuse to bring out your dangly earrings ar they can look good with pearls. They provide a feel from statement necklaces if you don't feel like wearing them. If the scarf is not too much with a any necklaces, I think they would look cute together, too! I  would love a monogrammed chevron scarf right now!

Also, plaid skirts are adorable for the cold season, too! I know they are a tad too much for my budget, but the plaid skirts from Preppy Pink Shop, a store on Etsy, makes good plaid skirts for the season and inspire me to make my own! Sweaters, tights, and flats/heels would make a good outfit together with plaid skirts.

Also check out Proper Essential's page for cute bracelets that I mentioned at the end of the video.

Just a Little Pre-Birthday Shopping Won't Hurt!

Saturday, October 26, 2013

    Hey, y'all! I came back home from a rigorous amount of shopping out of town. This was the start of the best birthday weekend (thank God I'm turning 15 on Wednesday) I've ever had. I've had my 1st shopping experience at J. Crew and Timex and was really happy with my orders. The other stores, Gap and American Eagle were the ones I've shopped before (even though Gap, Timex, and J. Crew were the stores not in our town.....yet?) and have gotten great deals. I think outlets are great to shop during the weekends mostly because they contain ah-ma-zing deals. Here's the outfit I wore:

Top: hand me down, Jeans: hand me down (Hollister), Boots: Payless, Necklace: Cato's

   Speaking of outfit remember this blog? One of the thing got checked off! My duck boots came back and you won't see them until I post a haul on YouTube Monday (and what I got at the outlets)! They are from Blain's Farm and Fleet from the brand, Tamarack. They are 5x gorgeous and about 1/5 of L.L. Bean's price. Plus, they have gorgeous quality posted here.
   I can't wait to turn 15, now! I feel like I've grown up too much (inserts laughing emoji). Until then, see you on my next blog and YouTube video.

xoxo, Desi.

Spirit Week!

Friday, October 4, 2013

I am excited to show my first outfits of the week on this blog right here! This week was my school's homecoming week! I posted all of the outfits I wore to school. I may mot be best dressed, but I've gotten the most classy, preppy, and fashionable spirit week ideas.
striped top:Forever 21, button down: JC Penney, jacket: its reeeally old, jeans: F21, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cato
Monday was mismatched day, so I became a genius and mismatched sweater(which was actually a long sleeve t-shirt) and button down prints. I paired those with my bright pink jeans 'cause I felt Barbie-ish. Then, I mismatch pairs of Old Navy pointed toe flats because I fell in love (I only got 3 pairs and counting!). Then, a bubble necklace got in the way. ;)

black top and vest: Justice, camo t-shirt: Target, jeans and chain necklace: F21, shoes: Payless, white bow: made it myself
Tuesday was camo day for me, and I had a hard time finding camo, even if it's on trend. I found this one at Target and layered it over a long sleeve t-shirt and under a military jacket. Black jeans and riding boots made it military-hunter look. I still want to look classy, so I decided to wear chain choker and pearls.

top: A'Gaci, skirt: Belk, belt: from a shirt, red shoes: yard sale, necklace: Old Navy, bow: made it myself
Wednesday was Disney character and the only thing in my close was for Snow White. I didn't have a red bow, so I put on my rose printed, along with red shoes, belt, and necklace. I'm pretty sure you've seen the blue tee before. The yellow skirt was added, too. Now, may I have a red delicious apple?
 sweater: Plato's Closet, shirt: F21, jeans: Wal-Mart, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cato
Thursday was neon day and I only have it in the necklace. I colorblocked the colors, anyways. Here we go again with the sweater-button down combo again.
top: Plato's Closet, jeans: F21, belt: Target, shoes: Payless, necklace: Cato, bows: made them myself
Today was tiger pride day and I'm screaming orange, black, and white! I put my hair in a bun with black and zebra hairbows. I reeeally want a houndstooth top, and had the chance to wear it with my black skinnies. Look! I'm wearing sparkle shoes and a bubble necklace today!

These were the outfits. If you are having spirit week, what themes and outfits did you and your school planned? I can't wait to do a September Favorites!

It's Almost the Birthday Month!

Saturday, September 28, 2013

    As September comes to a close, it's time to think about what I really wanted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .for my birthday in October. I thought that I would share with you guys. It's the top 5 things I really wanted (according to my Wanelo). It doesn't have to be exact, but to give you an idea about what I'm thinking of on my wishlist. This is the Wanelo link.

5. Laptop Lunches: Ever since I started to eat healthy, I thought of making cool recipes to impress these fellow students at school. Despite my awesome (um, almost) cooking skills, I was so so so in love with bento lunches. With the Laptop Lunches, they have exciting recipes and the boxes are in bubbly colors. Here's my picks:

4.Sperry's: With 3 pairs, I'm ready for a 4th pair. I fell in love with the leopard print ones. Enough said.

3.Bean. Boots.: Yes, that emphasis was put because I was inspired by preppy IG accounts (including Sarahbelle93x), to own bean(or duck) boots. I know that costs a fortune, but let's hope Payless or Forever 21 start selling these for a waaaay less price.
2. Champ Bag: If you have watched my What's In My Purse Video (<-- Link), you've heard that I prefer smaller bags. The problem: I couldn't carry what I needed in that purse without spilling all my stuff. Plus, the phone takes too much space. Now, I'm going to invest in small makeup bags for everything in my purse and do weekly cleanouts (I hope you remind me of it). Speaking of cleanouts, I saw many what's in my bag videos and this one(<-- Link) sparks an idea to my mind: find an inexpensive Longchamp bag. I saw these two top beauties from Marley Lilly, Etsy(through the store,MONOGRAMSINC), and Tiny Tullip. Let's hope these don't sell out quick before the end of October.


1. Chevron Dresses.: This has to be my top pick because ever since I first saw it on a few friends of mine, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. They should be versatile and be worn all around from January-December. I got to be careful, they sell out very quick!
The jacket and shorts are old, but the top is from Old Navy and the shoes are Sperry's. I had a hair bow, and that's all.

Until next time, see you guys later!
xoxo, Desi.
