Outfit of the Day: Falling Into Fall

September 19 by letsbepreppy featuring a flap bag

I wore this outfit Monday after my tour! It's really starting to get cold and they're telling us on the weather that it's going to warm up again but I'm fully embracing Fall and it's chillier temps! I'd be excited if Fall stayed here for good for the next few months and I could really check out the rest of my more autumnal wardrobe!

What are the temperatures by you? Does anyone really think it's even going to get warm again! I kinda hope not!!

Back to School, Back to School

For the past few years, I've used a pink Vineyard Vines tote to use for school. My freshman and sophomore years I used:

Freshman year it was whales and sophomore year it was pink with white stars!

This year, I was excited to browse all the fun pink Vineyard Vines bags to see what I wanted to use for Junior year. I thought I was going to go with the pink burgees tote:

When I was at home over the summer, I found my backpack from high school with a BIG pink embroidered set of my initials on the front, I knew this would be better! I am using this year, instead of the tote, my North Face Borealis backpack:

I figured my real backpack would be a lot heartier than the totes that I've managed to nearly destroy the past two years. They only use they seem to have are beach bags since the silk is a little worn and the handles are a little less tough!

What do y'all use for school bags? Do you rely on a tote or backpack?

Outfit of the Day: Double Duty

August 24 by letsbepreppy featuring j crew shorts

I wore this outfit yesterday! I was at work for a little to fill out some new-hire paperwork, had class, and had an Ambassador function last night! We're starting our Recruitment process for our new cohort of Ambassadors and we couldn't be more excited! Last night got us SO excited (complete with a group version of Rock, Paper, Scissors that I'm so game for playing again) to bring in the new crop and start giving tours again!

I had two days worth of outfits squished into one! I had my class/work/run errands outfit that I was in until about 6 and then my visitor center/University Ambassadors/tour guide outfit that I wear (a different version of) once a week, for football recruitment, and special events that the University hold that require the aid of student volunteers!

I get a lot of questions about what I typically wear to give tours in so the second outfit is common. We have pretty easy rules to follow: it has to be garnet and black, have Carolina on it somewhere and bottoms must be fingertip length or longer. You also have to wear shoes that you're comfortable giving tours in! This is a pretty common outfit for me to wear until it starts to get colder out here!

Be sure to enter Tuesday's Sassy Palmetto GIVEAWAY too!!

Is it still hot as heck by y'all? I can be in tops like these for the next few months!!

First Day of School!

Here begins another school year! Today is my first day of school! Here's what I'll be using all day long:

Lilly Pulitzer Nadja Dress

Jack Rogers

North Face Borealis Backpack (with my initials of "CAR" in hot pink embroidered on there!)

Lifeguard Press for Lilly Pulitzer Large Agenda in "Nice to See You"

South Carolina Palmetto Tervis Tumbler (filled to the brim with diet coke, of course!)

I am SO excited for today to begin! My first class starts at 9:30 and I'm in class straight until 3:15! Just like high school! I am ready to be in a good rhythm of classes and a few workout classes. I am hoping to get into a good pattern and have a GREAT semester! I'm taking a bunch of business classes and 1 health promotion, education and behavior class (my minor) so I have a great spread of topics!

Happy First Day of School y'all!

What did you/do you study in college? Are there any essentials that you can't live without?
