Guest Post: Emma Tilton

Ah! I am leaving the West Coast today for my sweet Midwest, and I have to admit my style is definitely more suited for the classy down South. 

One of my friends from Her Campus is going to be finishing this week of guest posting off for me with a cute outfit post! I love Emma's blog, and y'all should really check out her blog!

Collegiate Chic: A Guest Post by itsemmaelise

While my personal style doesn’t always reflect the preppy, Southern atmosphere that I grew up around, I believe there is still something to be said for wearing plaid or pearls, and channeling your inner Blair Waldorf every so often. With that in mind, I took to my most recent addiction…Polyvore.

Scholars Summit by itsemmaelise

I found this cotton dress on ModCloth, and it just screams “collegiate chic” in my opinion. A meeting of the minds with other intellectuals is always a bit more exciting when you’re wearing some cute, scholarly hues! This plaid number combines navy dignity with golden confidence, from its black-piped upper all the way down to its pleated skirt. For a cute twist, I styled this dress with some suede pumps and a thick, gold-chain necklace!

Closet Series: Summer finds and wishlist

So I went on a small shopping spree two weeks ago, and I still haven't told you what I've bought for my internship!

I would give pictures, but there's a lot of clothes! I'll list and make sure I will add sites I got things on. 

Have: I got a lot of really cute things from Gap and Old Navy . The khakis I have in khaki, olive and navy. I wear them multiple times and various ways. At the end of the post I have some examples of what I've paired them with. The maxi dress is perfect for my office which is chilly.  The blue and white shorts are super cute, and my go to for summer nights. I also picked up some super cute shirts from the clearance at Loft and Gap. 

Want: This Marley Lilly Bracelet is perfect for summer. I am not really into arm candy, but since wearing a watch for work, I've got used to it!. This purple dress from Hope's is beyond perfect, and would look great with my pearls:) These Sperry's have been on my radar for awhile. I am going to buy them eventually! 

What have you added to your closet?
What's your favorite place to shop sales?
