Tucked In

When I was younger, I was quite adamantly opposed to tucking anything in. As I've grown older though, I've come to understand how much it can clean up an outfit, and create a waist where there wasn't one before. Raiding my mom's belt collection may have helped to spur this change in thought as well. It was so much more convenient than actually shopping for belts!

Let's Get Nautical

 Blogs like Classy Girls Wear Pearls, and the amazing-ness that is J. Crew, and more particularly, Jenna Lyons, have brought the prep trend into the forefront of fashion. As I get older, I find myself embracing more and more aspects of this particular style, and the grace it exudes. While I know I will never be truly "prep," I certainly appreciate its influences. Also, check out this article that was linked on Cupcakes and Cashmere yesterday if you want to fall even more in love with Jenna Lyons than you already are.
