Simple Summer Skirt

feat. Eric (photo creds also to Eric)

My Outfit: Skirt: Shop Lauren Berry | Shirt (J. Crew Factory) | Shoes | Bracelet | Watch

I love this skirt that I purchased from Shop Lauren Berry, an Etsy store belonging to Pointer Prep aka Lauren. It's very comfortable and is perfect for a sunny, summer day. Check out her Etsy store to see her array of skirt choices! I also purchased a seersucker one, but I haven't had a chance to style it yet!

This summer has been a great one. Hoosier State of Prep has grown this summer thanks to friends like Eric that are willing to take pictures for blog posts like this. I can't wait for what is to come for Hoosier State of Prep this fall and I'm definitely looking forward to this blog's first birthday (tune in during the month of October).

Ashley's Outfit: Dress (Lilly Pulitzer for Target) | Shoes 

It's officially summer and of course it's National Wear Your Lilly Day! Also, Happy Father's Day to all fathers and grandfathers out there! My Dad chose to spend the day driving down to some Porsche Club even so I had to find something else to do!  S/O to my Nana for being photographer, she did a lovely job!

Also, huge thanks to Ashley for once again being a part of a blog post!  Check out the other post that she was in here.

Lilly P Spring '15

Well here it is, the post that should've been up on Wednesday, but is being posted today. I promise that sometime I'll get into the habit of writing blog posts during the weekend and queueing them up for week, but now is not that time.

After all of the hype surrounding this new collection and the hopes of better, older prints coming back (eventually), I couldn't wait to browse the website. Here are some of my favorite pieces so far:

Elsa Top - Worth It

Dusk Racer Bank Tank Top

Bentley V-Neck Shift Dress

Printed Luxury Capri


What are your favorite pieces of the spring collection?

Cyber Monday Goodies

I hope everyone grabbed a few goodies throughout this weekend! I didn't go Black Friday shopping so I was on the lookout for deals online. Luckily, most companies had sales all weekend! I hit up Lilly Pulitzer, Madewell, J. Crew Factory, and J. Crew for my cyber buys.

 I was on the prowl for simple pieces that I can wear over and over again. I was so glad that the Buffalo Check Vest was included in the sale because I wouldn't have to feel guilty about adding to my vest obsession! I was also looking for some pieces for vacation and also wanted a skirt for recruitment which is after winter break. Here are the things I managed to get. 

J. Crew Factory: Factory Pleated Mini // Factory Stretch Tank Dress (both off of clearance and sold out)

J. Crew: Buffalo Check Puffer Vest // Pixie Pants (I've been wanting these forever)

Madewell: Linen Heathered Telegraph Tee // Collarless Chambray Workbench Top (both on sale)

Since I stayed in on Black Friday, I decided to treat myself on Sunday and bought this beauty of a dress from Lilly Pulitzer for vacation! I am so excited to wear it and for warm weather of course. Not pictured are the free goodies of the weekend, the reusable tote and the wash and wear bag.
