Hi'ya!
So my best girlfriend, Amanda, asked me to accompany her on a trip to Disney World in January! With an offer like that, how could I say now? The last time I was in Disney, I was with Amanda and her entire family, was 3, almost 4 years ago, celebrating her sisters Sweet 16! I am super excited for a week away with my best girlfriend! But of course, my mind goes right to thinking about what I will wear! I think I got a little out of control when I was searching around for some stuff. But...I'm trying to justify my potential purchases with the fact that I can use them for school! While most of these items are completely out of my price range, I'll share them and my justifications with you before I present them to my mom! lol!
How cute is this corduroy skirt? Obviously, from the whale you can tell this is a Vineyard Vines skirt. I know you're probably thinking a skirt in January? But in January the weather in Florida is typically in the 70s (I've done my research). Plus, corduroy is a heavier material and will keep me warm. I thought I could wear this one night out to dinner in Epcot or a day out shopping. Now for the dual purpose reasoning, I can also weather this skirt to school with an oxford and flats, I can even throw tights or stockings on underneath. The extra bonus, since I have to obviously wear the brand to work, I can wear this while I'm on the sales floor!
I think this knit sweater from American Eagle is adorable. This is perhaps one of the more affordable items on my list. I love the anchor design. It keeps the nautical, preppy look going throughout the fall and winter. I thought this would be great for Florida in the morning and evening when it is cooler out. I could pair this with capris or shorts. During the school year, I could wear this around campus with one of my new pairs of cords or even a pair of jeans.
Okay, so I know Fox Racing isn't a top contender on the list of preppy labels, but I own several pieces from Fox Racing because all of their clothes are super comfy and I like to wear the brand when I go upstate and do more, as my friends and family like to call it, bass@$$ things! Anyway, this is a vest and a sweatshirt. You can remove the vest piece from the sweatshirt and wear either the sweatshirt or vest alone. I thought this would be great while walking around Disney incase it is chilly so I can wear both and as the day get warmer I can wear one or the other. Plus, I love the coral color! Of course this can be worn during the school year throughout the fall. Usually in the morning it is chilly walking around campus and gets much warmer as the day goes on and especially inside the classroom. Since I can wear the vest and sweatshirt as a whole, or one or the other, this is a versatile campus must have.
How cute are these? Even going to bed or lounging around I like to keep up with the preppy style! The pink whales on these navy lounge pants are adorable and aren't embarrassing to grab breakfast at the hotel while were in Disney. Also, I'll be the first to admit, that during the school year the snooze button is my best friend. With that in mind, although these Vineyard Vines pants are really PJ pants, I would run to class in these on those days when I wake up 15 minutes before class!
I know this is random but hear me out! I NEED my coffee in the morning. I know that I can't bring this through security at the airport but I thought I could pack this in my suitcase and use it in the mornings for my coffee on the go! Amanda and I plan to head to the parks super early for extra magic hours and I will be drained without my coffee! I can use this Vineyard Vines thermos on the shuttle bus to the parks and when I'm done, I can throw it in my backpack that I always carry around at amusement parks! Do I really need to explain how this can be used during the school year? lol! Coffee on the go pretty much sums up the life of a college student!
I know I already showed you some other adorable Vineyard Vines PJ pants but these are not actually PJ pants, these are VV sweatpants. I thought these would be great for the plane ride to and from Disney so I can be nice and comfy. I also thought that during the school year these would be great on a snowy day with Uggs or a rainy day with tall Hunter boots! The little whale embellishment by the hip isn't as loud as the other lounge pants, making these more practical to wear.
**ATTENTION ATTENTION, JACK ROGERS SHOE SALE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 4TH**
Perhaps the hardest part of packing is planning what shoes to bring. Disney makes it even harder because I want to make sure my shoes are super comfortable and are easy to get on and off rides with. These cute gold metallic flats from Jack Roger could be perfect! I don't know that it will be warm enough for flip flops or cold enough for Uggs so these could be the perfect solution. On campus, I can wear these on a nice fall day with a pair of skinny jeans or cords and a sweater! I don't like wearing Uggs all the time, I like to throw a bunch of comfy flats in the mix. These would make a great addition to my shoe rotation haha!!
Now, let me remind you, most of these items are waaayyy out of my price range. I know I've been talking like I am purchasing them but I basically just rehearsed what I will say to my mom when I ask her about helping me buy them. Hopefully it will work and she will help me purchase a few of these for my trip (and of course the school year)! I know all of this is wishful thinking, but like I always say, a girl can dream!!
Help me out here, what do you think? Am I totally crazy?
Preppily yours,
The Practical Prepster
