Prepster? What is that?
There are two parts of my inner style goddess. One is reality and the other is what I can afford. I feel like growing up in Southern California has its limits in the fashion world because you are expected to be have a more beachy, casual look and I have none of that. I’m trapped between what I wish to own and what I can afford. My ideal wardrobe would be a combination of boho chic and floral prints, but it takes a lot of energy and money to fully pull off and own bohemian clothing. It’s hard to find here where I live and strangely, the more hobo it looks, the more expensive it is. So, I just stick to my preppy self because its fun and most of my shopping is done on impulse. I love JCrew, Kate Spade, Micheal Kors, Lilly Pulitzer of course, and the ever appealing Forever 21 for its abundance of affordable clothes. I love mixing the more expensive items I own with the cheaper ones and my strategy is to spend more of my money on purses, watches, jewelry, and shoes. It’s rare if I ever spend it on clothing because I think I can always find a great bargain! As I am approaching graduating college, my goal is to move away from the more premature clothing I tend to buy and gravitate towards an increasing sophisticated and understated look.

I love this! This is why I don't think our stylecan always just fit one mould! I like a more simple/chic/laidback look but I adore kate spade & Blair Waldorf's wardrobe! xx

I hate it when reality and affordability clash which unfortunately happens more often than not... Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

ReplyDeleteI try not to label my style. Sometimes I'm feeling preppy, sometimes I'm feeling edgy, sometimes boho it all just depends!

Urgh, isn't that the worst. I know this struggle well. I have copious wishlists overflowing with pieces that are unjustifiable for me right now. I'm also constantly inundated with "reminders" that products are selling out. Reminders that remind me of what I wont have :o( but alas, we'll get to a place one day where we can have them. I know it. ;o)
