Outfit of the Day: Preppy Profesh Dots Dots Dots

When my mom visited a few weeks back, one of her main goals was to get me some great work clothes! This OOTD features a few of those pieces!

I am in LOVE with these pants! I can't get enough of them! They are black with neutral colored dots all over, but from far away you'd never know! We snagged these from Loft, and they have a similar pair here. Other similar pairs here, here, and here! They are VERY on-trend this season!

I paired them with an Ann Taylor top that we got from AT in Charleston on the MAJOR sale rack! I know a lot of y'all had been interested in it and I found it! Ta-da! Find it here!

I thought that this went well with gold so I added Tory Burch Reva flats and a big, round gold watch from Target!

I wore this one day to my internship at the end of October and even considered adding nude pumps too. I think that these pants can really do a lot and I think my next endeavor with them will either be a black top or a cream/neutral party cardi!

I love these polka dot pants and can't wait to wear them more!

A Stack: Pink & Gold

I like to stack while I'm at work! I like to include lots of different elements in my stack like you can see here: pearls, chain, thin bangles and lots of color!

This was actually one of my favorite stacks recently! I LOOOOVE the nautical rope bracelet with those knobby knots right in the middle--they stay on SO well. The pink bracelets are Lilly (available basket ones here...I think they were also in that big ole' Lilly Summer Sale) and the pearl and chain is from Atlanta market and in Pink Sorbet right now.

I also usually like to incorporate my watch from Target, but I wasn't wearing that on this day! Sometimes it hurts my wrist a little and I'm not entirely used to wearing it, so I tend to forget it a few times a week!

You can get it for LESS THAN $15!! I seriously love mine and I think it looks way more expensive than $15. I get a ton of compliments on it, and people are always asking where it's from! I like to say, "Le Tarj"AKA Target.

I'm totally not the inventor of the stack--I think Carly from College Prepster was the first person to make the stack really sing, but I'm sure glad she did!

What's on your stack? Any certain pieces that are always a part of it?!

Outfit of the Day: Preppy Profesh

When I was at home, my mom and I were able to get a little bit of shopping done. These days, all of our shopping together is usually for clothes that will transition to the real, business world. Thankfully she's got a great eye for business and work outfits and got some really great things for me. We really lucked out when we went to the outlets since they were getting rid of summer stuff and had lots of fall stuff marked down.

This blue ponte knit work dress was one of our shopping picks! I love it and I'm so happy we got it. It fits great and the length is perfect. My boss even told me that I looked cute! I added my Bauble Bar bubble necklace, my new Target watch and neutral Jacks. It was definitely one of my favorite work outfits that I've been able to put together this summer!

I think my new business wardrobe style will be called "Preppy Profesh"! I kind of love it. What do y'all think?

Only Time Will Tell

I'd say it's more like, "Only I will tell time" or something like that! 

Over the weekend, I invested in this little number. I was in Target for a few home supplies and stumbled upon this little guy and decided I could do well with a watch. I think I rely on my cell phone too much and use it too often, so this is one way I am trying to check it less. If I know the time, I will be less likely to look at my phone to check the time, right?

Here's hoping!

So far, this Times T5D601 is comfortable and useful. For a digital watch, it was remarkably easy to set and the directions were clear and I could reset it without them. The display is great even with my polarized sunglasses on. The digital light is a little big hard to see, but in real darkess it is useful and works well. I'm not a runner or anything so I won't really need to use the timer function, unless we change a certain ShakeWeight competition going on in my house from the timer on my cell phone to the timer now on my watch...hmm. Anyway, I really like it so far and I'm excited to wear it more.

It is certainly a sporty looking watch and not as fashionable as the one my roommate picked up and isn't really trendy or anything. Mine is pink (of course! I'm sure a few of you out there are rolling your eyes...) and pretty girly, but like I said, it's pretty sporty which you can't escape. 

I hope it holds up since you can't replace the band, but I'm excited to wear it more!

Do you wear a watch or do you rely on your phone for the time?
