Today's Everyday Fashion: Schoolgirl Prep
There is really nothing I love more than a super-preppy look like this one. I've been drooling over the picture on the left from Talbots.com, so I decided to create my own version of this look. I didn't have any patches, so I pinned this gold brooch I recently picked up from Banana Republic onto my trusty Gap blazer to achieve the same look. Tell me - do you like the preppy look? What's your go-to style?
Navy blazer: Gap, $70
Skirt: J.Crew, $45
Shirt: H&M, $10
Brooch: Banana Republic, $15
Shoes: Restricted, $39

Embellish your blazer with these options:
Aldo brooch, $16
Aldo patches, $10
Express brooch, $35

Hi J! :) so i am a reader and i looove your site and your daily outfits. i am pretty far from the fashion scene and have never been trendy, although i am trying to buy more clothes that are more feminine/flattering. i have a question: do you know of any nude shoes that aren't very high heeled? i love the nude shoe look and have been trying to find a low heeled affordable version! any suggestions on where to look i would love! thanks :) and keep up the great work with your site.
ReplyDeleteadorable J!
ReplyDeleteLove the preppy look, but I much rather prefer the business, pencil-skirt look; it's sexier and appropriate for work at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteAre those shoes available anywhere?!? I absolutely love them.
ReplyDeletegreat recreation job!! i'm personally not a huge fan of the preppy look as i think it looks too stuffy and old-fashioned, but i like what you pulled off!

I like the preppy look, but I like to make it a little funky with a piece or accessory that is not very prep! Like a graphic T with a skirt and blazer, or ripped jeans instead of a skirt. I also really like to add a menswear piece, like an actual men's shirt or sweater.
ReplyDeleteI like the preppy look.

my favorite outfit from you thus far. This is such a classic look, it'll never go out of style. Was there a change in CD at Talbots? I've been seeing a lot of looks from there and mistook it for J. Crew everytime.
ReplyDeleteThat skirt looks soo comfortable! I think this look is awesome and one that would be pretty easy to replicate because so many of these pieces are just basics. I agree with Sara C that it could be taken to the next level with something unexpected.
ReplyDeletei LOVE this
ReplyDeleteEeee!!! Awesome giveaway J.
ReplyDeleteI like the Long Sleeved popcorn cocoon sweater except they only have one size left :(
Definitely a bit of a prepster here--I love love love that jacket!

Elle, I saved the inspiration photo from a campaign Talbots did in late summer/early fall.
Kahtu, I totally agree that Talbots has improved and has almost a J.Crew vibe now!
