PREPPY AND TIMELESS

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been fascinated by fashion. I love the art that is couture fashion, but I also love studying fashion from decades past. My absolute favorite time period for fashion is the 1960s. All the styles were so classy and stylish. I even went through a phase in college where I tried desperately hard to dress like I was living in the ‘60s.

Nowadays, I still love and appreciate the runway and all the current trends. However, my personal style has evolved into something much more preppy and timeless.

I particularly enjoyed styling this outfit because each piece was bought in a different year and everything is still in fashion. The hot pink mini skirt is from my retail days working at The Limited (would you believe that I’ve owned this skirt for six years!). I adore this skirt, not only because it’s hot pink, but because it reminds me so much of something from the 1960s. It instantly reminds me of Swinging London.

The cable knit sweater is always a classic choice and everyone should own one for those cold winter days. I bought this one last year from Gap and it’s just perfect for layering. The fit is flattering and the soft cotton material feels so good.

If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen this J.Crew navy gingham blouse before. I literally wear it all the time. I love the fit; plus,gingham never goes out of style. I also have this shirt in pink and denim. It’s definitely a staple that everyone should have in their wardrobe.

I’ve always enjoyed pairing bright colors together. That’s probably why I love the Lilly Pulitzer brand so much (and the silhouettes are so 1960s – sense a theme?!). I could have paired this skirt with black, white, or gray, but the pop of blue and the gingham pattern just make it so much more fun.
