Carolina Cup

FINALLY, I have all the pictures from Carolina Cup! Sadly, I left my camera at home that day (after waking up at 5:45am, showering and primping and packing, I was running late and forgot quite a few things), so I had to rely on others' cameras for photos of our stunning outfits.

Carolina Cup was a preppy haven that nearly overwhelmed me. But I'd definitely go again now that I know what to expect. And in case you're curious about going, here are some pictures so you know what to expect! (Be warned that we were possibly the least preppy people there, though the Lilly Pulitzer ladies took Patrick's and my picture!!! I have yet to find this picture, but when I do, you can bet your finest racehorse that I will post it!)

Carolina Cup Outfit

I have found my Cup dress! I had two stressful weeks of no, I can't wear that because of x, y and z. Repeat. But after many hours spent online shopping, I have finally found a dress. And now I'll reveal my Cup outfit!

Drum roll, please....

11 Days!

I have 11 days to find a dress. And for Patrick to possibly find a matching bow-tie (because, c'mon, that would be so cute!). I don't know that I'll rent a dress anymore since I completely forgot you have to add in shipping and tax and some other charge. So I may as well buy a dress for all that.

Carolina Cup: Hats

Now let's talk hats. On the one hand, I want something fashionable and tasteful.

Like Chloe Moretz's cute straw fedora-like topper at VC's Gold Cup

And on the other, I want to get a pic on the Carolina Cup site. Thinking of making something like this....

Carolina Cup 2012: Rent the Runway

Hello all! So Carolina Cup is in 18 days! I'm thinking of actually renting a dress since it's cheaper. Have you ever used Rent the Runway? It's a lovely little website (actually, it's really extensive) that allows you to rent designer clothes and accessories for any event! And, they even send you two sizes in case one doesn't quite fit. So - drum roll, please - here are my rental choices for the big race!

Aren't those rental prices killer!?

Carolina Cup is Coming Up!

Lately, I've been thinking about Carolina Cup, probably because it's coming up in less than a month - eek! And I need to find my outfit. Stat! If I decide I don't want to buy a Lilly dress because I'll probably be moving North following graduation, and let's be honest, Lilly prints look a bit out of place above the Mason-Dixon line, even if it isn't snowing just yet.

I've got a few almost all-Lilly options, each one is pretty different. Vote for your favorite!
