Prep School

After spending a solid twelve years of my life in a (private school mandated) knee-length plaid skirt, I’d say it’s with good reason that the whole preppy thing is not a look I usually go for.  Usually.  But then I spent a little too much time browsing Madewell’s tailored, prep-perfect site, and my inner Blair Waldorf couldn’t get enough.  I love the bold hues of this printed, pleated mini paired with this slim and sleek double-breasted blazer.  Tone the look down slightly with a heavy dose of black: chunky scarf, warm tights, ankle boots and a crossbody bag.  Finish with a few gold touches for an Upper Eastside meets the Countryside chic.
