PreMed Wears Pearls

Its is almost tartan season! My favorite Hill House drop of the year is usually their tartan drop. Summer will always be my favorite season but there is something about a fun plaid dress that just gets me! Anyway, I meant to have this go up before the drop last week but did not get to it then but I am getting to it now! I am kind of sad they did not bring back the navy tartan this year because that is my absolute favorite and I wanted to replace my original navy tartan Ellie with one of the updated Ellies so instead I got the blackwatch Ellie . I do love blackwatch and think it is a great plaid to wear all winter, not just over the holidays.

  Since I first showed this dress , I have been waiting for it to be included in a sale (I think everyone is, aha). I feel like this is the week that it will be on sale! If you read my Tartan round-up post yesterday, you know that I look forward to new plaid styles every season. When this dress dropped , I could not resist it. Smocking has been so in, and I feel like it is sticking around for awhile, that I was so excited to see this black watch smocked dress with a puffed sleeve! Its all my favorite more grandmillennial style elements wrapped up in one sweet *plaid* dress. I do not say this often, but this dress is a need . It is a flannel material, so it is perfectly soft and comfortable. I think it is the perfect mix of feeling dressed up for a holiday, but staying comfy for a day full of treats and celebrating. There is so many ways to style this up, too. I dressed it up a bit with these heels, but you could try flats, booties or a classic pump. As soon as I confirm that ...

  If you are new around here since last holiday season, hi I'm Libby and I love plaid just as much as I love blue and white. Tartan/plaid season is relatively short, and I love to pack in as much plaid as possible. I always look forward to seeing what new styles of plaid pieces are released each season. It is kind of fun to see classic patterns evolve to new silhouettes every year. I scoured all of my favorite places to pick the best tartan pieces this year! I threw in some non-plaid pieces that were too fun and holiday perfection not to include them. I hope you start to love plaid as much as I do :) Happy holiday tartan season, friends!

  Oh my goodness, it is Christmas Eve Eve! I hope you guys are like me, and enjoy giving a gift to yourself.  It could be a holiday gift to yourself or just a end of the year, you survived another one gift to yourself. I love picking something that I would normally not get for myself on a day-to-day basis, an investment piece if you will. Also, if you still need some last minute holiday outfit inspo- I love this outfit! (much of it is on sale, and most J. Crew stores are offering curbside pick up!) Plaid Pants  |   Ruffle-neck Sweater  |   Flats (use code SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off your first pair!) Here are a few ideas of what to gift to yourself this holiday season. After all, the 12 Days of Christmas technically start on Christmas day, so the holiday is extended! 1. Sarah Flint shoes Something I have learned as I have come into my mid-20's, is to invest in your feet. Quality over quantity of shoes is important, enter Sarah Flint. I was gifted thi...

  It is Christmas week! It kind of feels like a treat that the holiday is on a Friday, and you can actually make a long weekend out of it. That is our plan! Another part of our plan is deciding last minute that we want to do a holiday card. We took photos of just me and the puppy yesterday, and they are so cute that I had to share, especially if you also need some last minute inspiration for holiday cards, outfits, cute puppies...😊. Similar Dress | White Shirt | Similar Shoes  (use code SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off!)  I wore this green plaid dress from Draper James , which is sadly sold out. I actually got it last year for Christmas, but didn't get a chance to wear it until this holiday season! Here is the same dress but in a different plaid , but just as adorable! I wore this ruffle collared white shirt underneath because it was too chilly for bare arms. This one might me my favorite. We took these photos at a historical home in MN. I always love that they decorat...

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

 Nothing makes me feel more warm and happy inside than the holiday season. 2020 will not take the joy out of it either, lol. The holidays will look a lot different this year, but I am still excited for them! I just wanted to look back on some holiday fun from last year, and find some similar pieces to recreate the festive looks! I know that Thanksgiving is next week, so if you need some inspo, here you go (and yes these could be considered too festive for turkey day, but its part of the holidays and plaid is a must!)   New J.

I am very sad that I will not be able to have any Christmas in New York fun (because if ...

Ok, sorry. I had to take the great opportunity with the title of this post 😂. Once it came to my brain, it was too funny to pass up! The days until the holiday are numbered, so I wanted to share this fun festive outfit, and chat about some holiday traditions today. This might be one of my favorite locations I have found back home in MN to shoot at during the winter. It looks all cheery and Christmasy! It is a historic home that has been restored as a historical landmark. I always forget the name, but I know exactly where it is, so I could navigate someone there, ahah! Skirt  |   Scarf  | Similar sweater  |   Similar Shoes  |   Earrings This blackwatch skirt from Ann Taylor is incredible! I love the fit, and the material: is a thicker material that will actually keep you warm during the winter! I really feel like blackwatch is a winter long plaid because the colors are not overly Christmasy. But, it is still festive ...

Why does it seem that plaid season is extra short this year?? It makes me sad how fast it is going because I still have so much plaid left to wear!! So, there will be A LOT of plaid on here for the next few weeks, and I am not sorry about it 😂. [Side bar- I think the less red plaids, like black watch, are just fine outside the holidays! But red and green together plaids just feel too Christmasy to wear after New Year's.] Skirt  |   Shirt  |   Sweater Blazer  |   Tote  (gifted/won!)  |  Old J. Crew Shoes - similar here A plaid skirt is always a staple in my holiday wardrobe. I feel like it is a timeless piece that you can style so many ways. I know I will wear this year after year! I have seen so many cute plaid skirt options this year, but this one from J. Crew really caught my eye. The colors in it just seem perfectly holiday-esque, and the bands of tweed make the skirt stand out from other plaid skirts! I...

Happy first Tuesday of December! It is only 22 days until Christmas, and that is just crazy! Today, I finally get to go back to New Jersey after all of the this insane winter weather, and I am excited to finish my Masters! Yes, like actually be done with the program and graduate!! More on that later 😊. While home in Minnesota, it was VERY cold and snowy. I found myself reaching for my Dudley Stephens fleece every single day! I loved dressing it up and down, and wore it with this white skirt one day. I also picked up this plaid headband (totally copied Elsa , Carly and Phoebe on this one, but I HAD to have it!!). It adds the perfect pop of festiveness to any outfit! I have been loving pairing it with a neutral outfit, like the one here, so the headband is the statement of the look.  I know I have talked A LOT about these fleeces on here, but let me just say a few more things (for now, haha)! I finally got to put this to the test in actually cold, snowy winter ...
