prep ish

I had a whole outfit planned revolving around a pair of Sperry shoes the other day. I wanted to wear a white button down as a jacket and go for a sort of preppy look, but all of my white button downs needed a good ironing, and I was running late. I opted for a striped shirt to try to go for a nautical look, but it was too subdued to really achieve the look I was going for. I think my shoes spoke for themselves though :)

Shoes: Sperry (original version here) via Gilt

Shirt: Banana Republic Factory

Jeans: Forever 21 (here)

Belt: Ann Taylor Factory

Necklaces: Lord & Taylor Effy Collection (here) and David Yurman (here)

Bracelets: John Hardy (here), Fossil (similar), Unknown, Movado (here)

This is the first post in a while that I noticed a lot of my stuff is still currently available online. While trends come and go, there are certain things that are always in style. I love Sperry because it is classic and timeless and well as affordable. I know children who wear Sperry and 65 year old men who wear Sperry and it looks great on everybody in between, too. And of course jewelry is timeless. All of the pieces I'm wearing I've had for several years and all are still currently available online.
