TGIF! I have decided to dedicate Friday's to sharing my fashion posts, because they are so much fun to do, and who doesn't love a bit of fun on a Friday? Kicking off is this relaxed outfit I wore to the Heide Museum of Modern Art. This outfit is both preppy, and has that little touch to make me look like a member of the art scene (#arthistorymajorlife).

Happy day-after-Australia Day!
Was your Australia Day as lovely as mine was? I spent the afternoon in the park with some old friends of mine. For the past three years or so, we have made it a tradition to spend Australia Day together. It is great to know that no matter how long we may go without talking to each other, or if we saw each other last week, that we can count on this tradition. I actually spent so much time enjoying myself that I forgot to take photos of my outfit! Don't worry, at the end of this week I will have my FIRST outfit post for you all, so be sure to be on the lookout for that.

Preppy Style Mood Board
Friday, 22 January 2016
A question that has come up across my friends since I launched this blog is: What exactly does Preppy mean? It definitely isn't a term that is used commonly in Australia, and when it is used we tend to think of ivy league college students in the 1950's and Blair Waldorf. It isn't the most popular style choice in Australians, at least not in the same capacity you would find in the East and the South coasts of the United States. This may be due to the fact that Australians are more relaxed and laid back (yes, the rumours are true!), and this is reflected in our style.

Welcome to The Aussie Prep

In my final years of high school, one of the teachers that
understood me best declared that I will come in to my own at University. High
school is not the place for me, and I will truly flourish in voluntary higher
education, surrounded by like-minded people. It was only after the conclusion
of my first year of Uni did I finally feel like I was coming in to my own and
embracing the true "Grace". I’m not sure if it is the atmosphere of higher
education, living in the city, or my Pinterest semi-obsession, but at the
beginning of Summer 2014/15, I have been embracing the preppy-ness in my life. One year later, and boy oh boy, do I finally feel like I am on point. Sure, I have always been preppy.
My attempts at transforming my public school uniform to look as Private Prep School
(the capitalisation feels necessary) as possible did not go unnoticed by the
teaching staff at my High School. This is mostly thanks to attending secondary
education throughout the duration of when Gossip Girl was airing on TV (Blair
Waldorf still remains as one of my style, and overall life, inspiration).
My Preppy style evolution 2015. I am excited to see where else my style takes me in the future! Grace. |
