3 Years of PreMed Wears Pearls

 

My 3 year blogiversary was a couple of weeks ago, and I am so deep into studying and school that I missed it! I can now think clearly, as my first block of medical school exams are done, aha. I had some things I wanted to celebrate and discuss from the past 3 years, so this post is better late than never. I want to share how much everything around me, including myself, has gone through change and different iterations since starting PreMed Wear Pearls. I love to think I have a great time capsule/diary to look back on and remember specific points of my life, and myself in a certain time. And now that I am no longer "PreMed," I am looking to give this space a bit of an update, so stay tuned for that 😋.

For starters, we are not premed anymore! I am officially a student doctor, and it just doesn't feel real yet (and yes, I have been in school for over a month, aha). It has been a big change, but felt like no change at all; it really does not feel like I moved to a new state because all I do is go to campus, my apartment, and Trader Joe's on Sunday's, aha. I really have not seen much of Indianapolis, and now that I know what my work load is, hopefully I can get some exploring in.

Style- Overall, my style has stayed the same. But, I have gone through different seasons of style, if you will. I am loving my current season with classic pieces and adding a elegant, feminine, grandmillennial twist. I have loved exploring every season of my style and sharing it here. Exploring new seasons of style has always been one of my favorite parts of my creative side.

Location- So we have had quite the changes of local since starting PWP. I started it when I was in New Jersey and about to start my Master's. I was so excited to be living on the East Coast and starting a big new chapter that blogging felt like the right complement to my new chapter. Since then, I have been a bit all over and loved that I can write, create and share content from wherever I am. It feels really full circle that I moved for school again, but now am in medical school. 

Feeling most like myself.- I don't know exactly what it is, but I really feel like my truest self, and think that being a blogger has helped me come to that. Having this space has allowed me to just share what I love and I think that is why I feel like I am the most myself. I unapologetically share all things I love even if they are not what the trends are. I am an old soul and embrace it fully, and whats even better is that I have found such a great community that also shares what I love! I have also made some great friends through social media, and even though we have never met in person, I feel like were becoming close friends.

Trying new things in the social space.- For years, I said I was never the girl to have and use social media. I didn't even have an Instagram account until 3 years ago. So I am proud that I have branched into this space, took a leap of faith and started something I had thought about starting many many times.  I think having this space has also brought me out of my shell a bit. I used to be pretty shy and introverted, but have noticed myself become a bit more social and little bit more extroverted. It has felt like a welcome change. (Also NEVER thought I would start a TikTok, but here we are, and loving it!?)

What's next on here? Like I mentioned above, I think a rename and mini rebrand is on the horizon. I have no clue what I want to rename this too, so I am not jumping in because I want it to be a thoughtful change that is not rushed. PreMed Wears Pearls is still my brand, but she just needs a little facelift to elevate her to where we are now! 

Happy belated 3 years, PWP! I am so happy I have you!


As always,

#dontforgetyourpearls

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials: - B

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one
