Preppy Outfits Diaries – June 2026

From Summer in Italy to Americana back at home, June 2026 was definitely one of my most memorable months to date – preppy outfits and memories, alike! To kick off the month, I hopped on a Transatlantic flight to Europe to celebrate my college roommate’s wedding and spend 12 incredible days under the Tuscan sun in Tuscany, Italy. Then, I came home and started celebrating all-things America 250 as the festivities kicked off locally. Overall, I have had such a fun month and start to Summer 2026!

Preppy Outfits Diaries – May 2026

Preppy outfits to reflect May 2026 were truly super fun to style and dress for, as it was month filled with Birthday celebrations to ring in year 27, a long weekend with some of my closest friends, and several collaborations and work-related events as a full-time blogger. May 2026 was, as I say probably just about every month, truly one for the books! I felt so loved by all of my friends and family members that came together to celebrate Chapter 27 as well as excited for all of the work-related events and collaborations I got to execute and take part in, too. Truly, I feel extremely grateful! At the same time, it was super fun to document and dress up for alllll of the fun occasions during May 2026.

Preppy Outfits Diaries – May 2026

My Favorite Pieces

May 2026 was a cooler-than-usual month in the Washington, DC area, so all of my preppy outfits this past month reflected that. I enjoyed styling several fun preppy outfits, including some fun Spring/Summer knits like my pink American Flag sweater that I received as a part of a collaboration with Top It Off Accessories (which you can receive 20% Off The USA 250 Collection Item at Top It Off Accessories with code KATIE20), as well as my gingham rain jacket that I snagged before it went out of stock from J Crew Factory. I also enjoyed styling some fun midi/maxi dresses with cardigans and quilted jackets and some fun loungewear, too!

Preppy Outfits Diaries – March 2026

Long time, NO outfit diaries! In personal news, I have made the switch to self-employment in January 2026 and have been a bit busy with mapping out my strategy for the year amidst my career change. Nevertheless, I’m excited to share some preppy outfits diaries on a monthly basis!

What I Wore To Work – December 2025

Like many of the Winter months, I gravitated towards LOTS of cozy vibes and sets during my December 2025 work from home days. I also had a few holiday events and parties after work some evenings, where I found myself wanting to be more comfortable during the work day and more dressy during the evening. To tie it all up with a bow, December 2025 was a FREEZING time in the Washington, DC area like many other parts of the United States. That all being said, cozy looks were for the win this past working month!

What I Wore Out Of Office – December 2025

Having completed my first full month wearing + styling jeans in over 10 years, a month filled with soooo many tartan OOTDs, and so much sparkle in between it all, December truly is one of my favorite months to style looks for! Personally like years’ past, I find myself gravitating towards exclusively my tartan pieces within my wardrobe throughout the month of December. The tartan outfits did not disappoint and, as always, it was fun to style them in 2025. This year, I took a fun week off of work and went to Philadelphia for 4 days to visit friends and enjoy ALLL the Christmas fun what I like to call the City of Sisterly Love. At the same time, I enjoyed all of the holiday fun whether it be close to home or in Delaware with my Dad. All in all, I enjoyed ALLL the fun outfits last month!

What I Wore To Work – November 2025

I feel like every November I start wearing more sweats and lounge wear as it starts to get colder outside. And, hence, my work wear becomes filled with lots of cozy lounge wear looks and less dressy looks, as it’s usually freezing and I just want to be cozy!! Clearly, November 2025 was NO different than any other November – LOL!

What I Wore Out Of Office – November 2025

From two weekends away to Charlotte (see my guide on Charlotte here) and Raleigh (see my guide on Raleigh’s North Hills here), a wonderful family and Christmas-filled Thanksgiving weekend, another Friendsgiving hosted (see my tablescape here), and a visit to the Southern Living Idea House (more to come on that *very* soon!), SO much has happened during November 2025. In fact, November has been one of my favorite months of 2025!! I know a lot of us have found this year to be a bit chaotic nevertheless, so I was so grateful to have a really great month in 2025!! At the same time, I am also psyched to share what I wore as I had TONS of fun putting together my outfits throughout this ultra-fun month. Now, let’s get into what I wore out of office in November 2025!

From Back to Work in September 2025, October 2025 has been the full fledged kick off of the Fall fashion season for me! I have truly loved getting to style some super fun Fall outfits this past month. Fall/Winter fashion is, indeed, my favorite to style for, too!

What I Wore To Work – September 2025

As I briefly mentioned in my most recent Life of Katie post, I enjoyed kicking off my Back to Work OOTD series over on Instagram (let’s be friends @_thepinkchickadee) after my week in Rome, Italy (here)! I’ve actually been excited to start styling Back to Work OOTDs since earlier this Summer. As a kid and teenager especially, I LOVED Back to School outfits the most. I guess some things never change!
