My Picks: Pink & Preppy

Since summer is rolling around to a close, I thought I’d do a little daydreaming of things that I would love to own but unfortunately don’t have enough money to buy. If I could pick one of the items I’ve included in this outfit, it would be the Kate Spade shoes (because they have a bow, of course!).

I wasn’t the preppiest girl growing up (I know, who would have thought!) but recently I’ve decided that it’s the style that fits me best. I’m a fan of order and cleanliness, and I feel that stripes and classic silhouettes (and bows) mirror that perfectly. Plus I just love pink, green, and orange and those colors all tend to go together rather well.

It’s funny how our styles can change through the years, isn’t it? I’ve recently been trying to buy less “trendy” things and more closet staples. I tend to go through a few months of loving something in my closet, and then selling it to Plato’s when I (inevitably) get tired of it, and I want the opposite to happen! I want to invest in my clothes and keep them for a really long time.

Not sure how “trendy” pink heels with bows are… but those will be in style forever, right? (;

My Picks: Fuchsia

Fuchsia – I’m Obsessed! by styleandsunshine. Click the image to see the product details!

I don’t have just one favorite color. It’s kind of awkward, because when people ask me (or I have to say it in an ice-breaker activity), I always blank and look like an idiot.

My favorite color changes from day to day, and currently, it’s fuchsia. There is probably no other color that is as happy and girly as this bright pink, and I’m working my wardrobe away from just blues, grays and whites to include more bright colors like this! I just bought myself an Old Navy fuchsia shift dress from Plato’s Closet (you guys will be able to see it soon!) and my nails are currently super super pink thanks to Essie.

This romper and these shorts are probably the most adorable things I’ve ever seen, and the bracelets and earrings (Kate Spade, I know, I’m sorry!) would make for such cute pops of color.

What are your favorite colors right now?
