This week’s challenge for Bloggers Do It Better is American Prep School. The assignment is to create a preppy look wearing a vest, cardigan or blazer and you must include a tie. I was super excited about this challenge and immediately searched the internet for style inspirations. My first stop was to check out Tommy Hilfiger’s website where I was immersed with preppy trends from blue blazers, crisp chinos, letterman cardigans, and boat shoes.
My creative ideas were in full effect! I knew that I wanted to have that Carlton Banks look from Fresh Prince of Bellaire. Remember his outfits? He oozed American Prep school, down to the sweater tied around his neck. What I like most about these challenges is the ability to be creative and try things that are outside of your comfort level.

ReplyDeleteTotally loving the prep look. of course this coming from a self-proclaimed N*E*R*D. I don't know who took the photogs but it's quite Terry Richardson-esque (think American Apparel). Tres CUTE!!!

ReplyDelete@Des, My mom would be proud to hear about her photography skills. She was nice enough to take the pictures.
I can't begin to tell you how ADORABLE this outfit is. I wear ties all the time during the colder months. YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!
ReplyDelete@SheDel, Thank you. Ties are fun to wear. I found a Tie belt that I was going to wear too but I liked this look better.
