My Style: Preppy Jetsetter

I'm back from my much needed vacation and I have pictures to show you guys as well. I recently took a trip to Missouri for my cousin's wedding (she's 19 so it shocked me that she was getting married but I could tell she was really happy and her guy is military so I guess she had a reason). I had a lot of fun seeing people I hadn't seen since high school. I was born and raised in Missouri but moved to Florida for college and fell in love. It was a short trip but well worth it and I got a chance to see my Dad and his family. And when we came back to Florida my Dad and his kids came down and we took another short vacay to Orlando (where else would you take three kids all under the age of 7 except for Disney's home town). All in all it was a great trip but I must say after being around kids for so long it's nice to have quiet again. And I must admit I have been sleeping and basically doing nothing all day since I got back.

But after too long and no outfit post I bring you my next pull from my magic box of outfit ideas...menswear or preppy. I really wanted to do a blazer but all I have are thick ones and it being 1000 100 degrees outside I knew I would be dead within hours. So I chose to go with a pair of blue preppy shorts that I found at my $1 thrift store (I seriously love that place!), I mean the name of the clothing company is Steeplechase, it just sounds preppy!! After that I knew I had to find a top that was equally preppy. I searched and searched and finally found what I was looking for (in my sister's closet) a grey cardigan that was perfect. I finished it off with a pair of oxfords that I got from Forever 21 and voila! Here is the completed look.




I also tried a new hairstyle and I think I liked the way it turned out.

And here are a few shots that I took while on vacation










Lots of love,
