Style It My Way Challenge {Preppy}

Old Navy Crew-Neck Cardigan (XS-XXL) | Old Navy Chambray Pull-Over (sold out in dark color) | Old Navy Knitted Scarf (old) | Old Navy Quilted Barn Vest (XS-XXL) Old Navy The Rockstar Zip Pocket Pants (0-20) | Not Rated Sequin Oxford Flats (similar here in pink) | Pearl Earrings + Diamond and Gold Twist Bracelet (Gifted) 

 

I am a little late with this particular challenge. Like. Several weeks late. I wore this on a casual Friday for work and then to a dollar movie with Mr. BD. Though it seems I could be a poster child for Old Navy, I was channeling something straight out of a Ralph Lauren catalogue. 

What does your preppy looks like?

Houndstooth + Purple

Eloquii Wrap Dress | Houndstooth Scarf (thrifted) | Clarks Ingalls Dealware Boot | Brighton Love & Peace Bangles | Dana Buchman Bangle | Brighton Love Affair French Wire Earrings 

With the erratic weather and busy schedule, I have found it difficult dressing myself with any sort of finesse or creativity. This eloquii wrap dress is so convenient to pull on when I am feeling tired and lazy. I've worn it with wedges for the summer and was inspired to pair it with a military-esque jacket. Houndstooth is such a classic cool-weather pattern and with a need to stay warm without unpacking my coats, I knew this scarf would be just right. Not to mention I have zero ability when it comes to picking out statement jewelry. 

And if you haven't noticed, I gave myself some blunt fringe for the fall. I joke about keeping my forehead warm, but really, I've been watching too much New Girl. 

How are you handling the change in seasons? Are your pictures as impossible to take as mine?
