Taken on a much sunnier day ☀️🕶️ I used to think I could live somewhere gloomy and rainy, but… after this bout of clouds, downpours, and overall gloom, I’m realizing I wouldn’t last a week. #tuckernucking

I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad

I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

The British brand @me_andem is now available in the US! If you are on the hunt for beautifully tailored, quiet luxury pieces for your wardrobe, you have to take a peek. The clothing is the highest quality and feels designer, but since they are direct to consumer, they don’t have the typical designer markup. The brand follows what they call “The Three Fs”: flattering and functional, with wear-forever appeal with each piece they create checking all three boxes! #meandem Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk! https://liketk.it/4j8Hg #liketkit

I`ve been looking forward to cooler temps and fall activities.... and the outfits that go along with them! @saksoff5th is having a sitewide sale now through 9/24– save an additional 25% OFF orders $150+ with code ITSON (excluding select brands and products) The perfect time to stock up on pieces for your fall and winter wardrobe. @CollectiveVoiceHQ #ad #SaksOFF5th

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.

So cute! But it doesn't look too different than your Outfit of the Day pictures (but that's not a bad thing)
Your bra is visible in the last picture. So NOT prep and quite unlike the "inspiration" pic. Looks desperate and trying-to-hard. Sorry, Carly, but you're better than this.
I think you looked great! Very cute and yet modest. The person above needs to go out on halloween and look at the average college girl. Unfortunately they all wear their undergarments and some form of hat or ears and call it a costume. Super cute costumes girls!!!
I must've missed the part in Carly's blog that said her costume had anything to do with "the average college girl." It's no secret that girls dress like skanks on Halloween, but (as clearly written in the comment above) Carly is better than this. She even expressed her disdain for this kind of thing a couple of entries back. So relax. For the most part, I'm a fan of this blog, but I just think that this costume looks too desperate and below the standards of a "preppy" blog.
Can I just say how awesome that deviled egg costume is! I laughed!
Well Miss Carly, I think you look adorable, as usual!
Ya, too desperate for sure! The socks are too low, youre showing your legs off wayyyyy to much, and that skirt is like at your knees, have some decency and cover up paleaseeee it's making me feel uncomfortable, gosh and your shirt is like so revealing I cannot take this lack of modesty!!!!!
Dear Anonymous,
If you don't like it, don't look at it. (:
Dear Carly,
Absolutely amazing, especially for last minute inspiration.
