Preppy Pleats

May 7, 2013 / Uncategorized

Top- American Eagle similar/ Skirt- My mom’s (dress she wore 30+ years ago) similar in black / Earrings- Kate Spade buy here/ Necklace- H&M similar / Clutch- Express similar/ Watch- Michael Kors buy here


Today starts the kickoff of my summer tour of travel! 

I have no clue how this happens so often but this will be the 3rd summer that I will be living out of a suitcase (or 4) for the next 5 months!!! 
I absolutely LOVE to travel and this summer I have so many major trips planned! 
I hope you will follow along 🙂 
First stop, North Carolina aka “Home Sweet Home” this is such a special place to me, where I grew up and where I also spent the majority of my life in the dentist chair from all the sweet tea I drank 😉 
I will be soaking up the warm sun, listening to country music and spending all my time with family and friends for the next few weeks. 
Whoop Whoop!

    Whoa! So pretty! A lot of items in my closet too were my mother’s from the 70’s and 80’s, nothing better than a hand me down! Five weeks of traveling, I couldn’t imagine! Have fun!

    This is so cute! I love the way you tied up your shirt. I actually did the same thing over a dress today, too! I’ve never done it before but I really love how it looks. A tied up shirt is a great option to do instead of a cardigan over a dress. Still gives you warmth but looks fab. I plan on trying it with a skirt like you did, too :).

    I love pairing more romantic maxi skirts with crisp button downs & this look is giving me so much inspiration! I can’t believe that is your mom’s vintage dress… so crazy cool! Have fun on your travels pretty lady!

    This is definitely my favourite outfit you’ve done! Super amazing. I found a really similar skirt thrifting in Copenhagen but would never have thought to wear it with a shirts – love it.
