Preppy Fun

So I have to laugh because, I know that I’m on this preppy style kick ( – which if you know me isn’t really my thing) but I have been seeing it for Spring/Summer and I really like it..but what I didn’t realize is that I’ve apparently been working it into my styling more and more. I can say I’ve been “suggesting” to Scott to try it (he’d look so cute!), but I’m have a little trouble on that front. Anyway on Saturday I found my white Ralph Lauren cardigan over my shoulders and I had to laugh…and then on Sunday that same sweater paired with my new Target red gingham plaid dress…that’s when Schott actually said “what’s up with your preppy style these days?” – Huh? I guess I had crossed over in more than a small way. Not that this should be a surprise to him, seriously I’ve been trying to get him in a pair of red shorts, or the pink polo shirt, or the hunter green shorts…or even the ‘driving-shoe’ leather moccasins.

So yes, I have found my inner “preppy” and you’ll see me in it this summer…along with my retro favs and my unmistakable – “Michelle Style” mixed in.

Wear what you love; try new things and most of all have fun!

Summer Shirtdress Style

So today, I saw this dress while looking for something else and I just fell in love.  I like the simplicity of the white, the unique sleeve detail and the girlish charm that takes one back to being young/youthful.  This dress is by Viktor & Rolf (way out of my price range, unfortunately) but lovely all the same.  I hope you enjoy it too!  BTW, if I were to get this dress, it would need to be a few inches longer!
