Upper East Side Prep

Hey hey guys! I feel like I have to follow some grammatical rules or something because I'm in the midst of writing my first big quarter paper. Blog writing is the exact opposite cause you can ignore punctuation, spelling, and those nasty TRANSITIONS! blahhh my paper decided to delete itself into cyber space yesterday which ended in a crying session and then redoing work from Sunday night. I hate technology.

On a different note, this outfit was preppy to the max, which sometimes feels pretentious, but I was just in that mood today. I also felt really smart wearing it and I guess it payed off because I got 100% on the chemistry test I took today! A lot of nights I'm just doing homework or something and I get a vision of what I'm going to wear the next day. This is usually good because its some form of inspiration except that last weekend I really wanted to wear this cute outfit and in my mind I was wearing it with black leather ankle boots, BUT i don't own any sooooo that was disappointing. Each day has its own vibe and that is the biggest factor when I pick out clothes.

My black flats that will match anything. As much as I love them they are not the best for Chicago winters since they're not sturdy and made of this weird velour. I want some patent leather ones in the same style of my turqoise flats, but according to my mom that would be "excessive"

I got this striped (is that how you spell it??two p's?) oxford at a resale shop for $2. For the past fourteen years I have refused to shop at resale shops because anything donated in this century was most likely made in the 90's (UGHHGGH). Lets just say the nineties were unfortunate times for fashion. faded denim and baggy shirts anyone....

I like this picture because it shows the three textures and layers of the outfit. The shirt looked a little scandalous and plain without a cami, so I decided on the lace one.

Oxford: Old Navy (resale shop)

Cami: American Eagle Outfitters

Cords: Ralph Lauren

Bracelet: Tiffany's

Shoes: still no idea....
