As far as I'm concerned, navy is a neutral. I love wearing navy more than any other color, mainly because it looks great in any season and isn't quite as serious as black. If you were to open my closet, you would mostly see navy in the form of solids, stripes, and gingham. Today's outfit post is made up a entirely new pieces, so you can shop this entire outfit without finding similar items. First, I want to talk about this sweater. I've shared this pullover sweater a handful

I've talked about it multiple times this semester, but I'm currently working on a really busy schedule. It's totally my choice, and a love everything I'm a part of, but oftentimes I wonder why how I'm not drowning. Recently many of y'all have been messaging me about my agenda, my organization tactics, and just how I stay on track in general. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's staying organized. I've always been one to write lists, keep an agenda, and mark on my cal

What a crazy week it's been! I have had an extremely relaxed semester so far. Although the course load has been tough and rigorous, I haven't felt like I was drowning -- until now. When you major in speech and paper based classes you mainly have readings and small assignments throughout the semester and one large project due that counts towards your final grade. My history and public relations classes are the opposite, but my writing and intercultural communications classes a

I have been loving Spotify recently! I don't go anywhere on campus without my Beats or without a pair of ear buds. I'm always listening to music, creating new playlists and finding any excuse to listen to music. Recently, I have been on the hunt for a great podcast or two to listen to as well. Spotify offers podcasts now, which I didn't discover until just recently, and I am loving exploring the podcast page! I've shared it before, but the Potterless Podcast is a current fave

It's officially spring, but I'm currently writing this blog post while a blizzard is happening outside my window. How ironic. Before this big storm took over JMU, I travelled down to Staunton, Virginia to spend a warm Sunday afternoon exploring. Virginia managed to get lucky and experience one day of warm sunshine before the snow hit. It was one of those afternoons where there wasn't a cloud in the sky, the sun was beating down and nothing felt better. The downtown area of St

I'm finally sharing my sophomore year apartment bedroom with y'all! I put off posting this for so long because I didn't think it lived up to my dorm from freshman year. I loved that dorm, my roommate, and my hall mates. I put a lot of time in my decor last year and by living in such a small space, I learned how to be organized, cleanly, and all round a more put together person. I carried that organization into my sophomore year, utilizing a lot of it in my bedroom. I skipped

I am so enjoying Spring apparel right now, if only the weather in Virginia would catch up! It's going to snow four days out of the next ten, which is more snow than we have seen throughout all of Winter here at JMU. I'm sick of thick sweaters and layering a sweatshirt, with a vest, with a parka just to keep warm. To combat this drab weather I'm experience, I'm back again with another 30 Under $30 post. I've been working on this post all week long and am really thrilled to fin

One of the incredible things about blogging is that I can share my day to day life with so many people. I love that so many girls are headed off to college in the fall and are looking to me to answer their questions about it. If you are one of these gals, always feel free to send me an email! I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can! The truth is, college is a blast but it's also a whole lot of work -- something to be expected, of course. This semester, I am particu

Some of the most read posts on Daily Dose of Prep are my personal, life update posts where I go a little more "off the cuff" compared to other days. I try to be pretty transparent with you guys, but sometimes I just want to talk about fashion and lifestyle, and not share what's going on behind the scenes of DDP. I oftentimes forget that I'm a virtual friend, but in truth a stranger to many readers -- which is a high and heavy barrier to break in the blogging world. My favorit

Okay, can we just take a minute to talk about how we're at the halfway mark of March. What? Let me repeat, what the actual heck. Where did March go? Before we know, it'll be Easter, then finals week, and then summer vacation. This semester has flown by, which is kind of bitter sweet. As great as it feels to have another year of college under my belt, I have loved this year -- especially Spring Semester. Yesterday, classes resumed on the snowiest day JMU has seen all year. I'm
