    Starting this week off on an honest note here on the blog- I'm not into a lot of the trends that are big this fall! *gasp* I know I know... as a fashion blogger it's kind of my job to keep up with the trends, and as a blogger with a focus on affordable style I try and show y'all how to keep up with trends but stick to your budget at the same time. However, I am just really not loving a lot of the current styles. Lace-up everythings (whether it's sweaters, dresses, or even shoes!)... I just can't get into it. Choker necklaces are something I'm making an effort with, and I do own a few now. But I truly believe that there is a certain time and place to wear choker necklaces, and they don't match everything. Other things I'm not really loving: army camo, over-wearing athleisure attire (it definitely has a time and place- but the trend is overdone), and only wearing dark colors in the fall and winter months. 

      My true style is girly, bright, and preppy- year round!! That's what inspired me to pull together this look that polished enough to wear to work, but still colorful enough to be fun. I purchased this Elsa top in August's Lilly Pulizer After Party Sale, which is the best time of the year to buy Elsa's, or really any Lilly! In the next After Party Sale this winter, I'm hoping to stock up on more Elsa tops. They really are the ideal top to wear for both work or weekends. I finished off the look with this cute charm necklace from Moon and Lola- they were a sponsor of TBSCon that I attended this summer, and all of the bloggers that went got to make their own necklace at Moon and Lola's charm bar! 

     Are you also a fan of preppy and classic looks for work? And how do you feel about some of this fall's biggest trends?
