Going Prep


what i'm wearing:
jcrew (outlet) navy gingham shirt
american eagle bow sweater
american eagle red jeggings
shoemint ankle boots

Looking over some of my older outfits, some variation of this look (gingham shirt layered over sweater, skinny jeans + ankle boots) is probably my cold weather uniform. It's pretty easy to put together when you're like me and have far too many colorways of gingham button downs and skinny pants. Feeling very preppy today, even more than usual, I think it's the combination of navy & red along with the bow. But that's not a bad thing (in my opinion).

Catching Up

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post on this blog. I haven't abandoned it completely, but I haven't had the time lately to take good quality photos and post them. I've been doing things the easy way, snapping some quick outfit photos with my phone and instagraming them. A lot has happened since then, I feel like it was still semi-warm out the last time I posted (I have bare legs!) and now it feels like we're right smack dab in the middle of winter. In the past couple of months, I've run a half marathon, developed quite the heavy craft addiction, and have really been putting a lot of heart and soul into my etsy store, Adore Prep. More photos on what I've been up to after the jump!

Hi, I'm Autumn

zara peplum top, h&m skirt, f21 necklace, tb patent revas, ysl muse


It really feels like fall is here and I can't be more excited! Fall is probably my favorite time of year in NYC, and I just love being able to wear layers and jackets and boots and all that other fun stuff. This peplum top I wore yesterday is something I bought a couple of weeks ago, but I felt like I should save it for cooler weather. I love the teal color, and the texture of the top.

Wearing teal today as well, but a comfortable drapey dress from Joe Fresh, which had a lot of great fall pieces at reasonable prices. I'll be sad when it becomes too cold to go tightsless, but I'll enjoy it for now!

The Latest Quick Snaps

Mossimo for Target dress, ShoeMint ankle boots

Can't believe that summer is actually over! I love summer, but I'm pretty excited for fall, looking forward to wearing more layers, boots, and not sweating as much. For the day after Labor Day, I decided to embrace Fall by wearing a sweater dress and boots. But the dress is sleeveless, and the boots are ankle boots, so I don't feel like I'm jumping the gun too soon. 


I have never tried ShoeMint before, but I really loved the way these ankle boots looked, so I pulled the trigger (with a 50% off code). I was pleasantly surprised, they are real leather and look a lot nicer than expected. I'm planning on checking back to see if there are any other styles I like!

This red peplum dress is definitely out of my comfort zone. I don't wear red often, but I felt like this knit dress was much more fun in red than in black. It's made out of knit, so it's a lot more casual than the peplum shape normally implies. 

 


tibi dress, target belt, zara jacket, matt bernson sandals

I've been obsessed with my Zara denim jacket lately. I never thought I'd wear one, but after seeing my sisters and my co-worker rock them, I decided I wanted one for myself. It's a great layering piece for fall, and I've worn it a bazillion times already, especially in my office which is still freezing.

So there you have it, a few quick snaps. I'm really excited about wearing fall clothes, so hopefully will have some better photos soon!

Quick Snap: Leopard & Fringe

zara leopard top & fringe skirt, aerosoles sandals


Sorry, I wear this skirt all the time. It's easy to pair with anything, but the fringe still makes it fun. I keep meaning to take more photos outside instead of these poorly lit excuses of photos, but just like going to the gym and making homemade meals, I've been incredibly lazy. And I'd much rather do some crafts.
