BDIB: Prep School

Hey ladies!

I am participating in the Bloggers Do it Better: Prep School challenge. The challenge: wear a tie or bow tie and a blazer, cardigan or vest of some sort! This is my first and I had so much fun pulling together this menswear inspired outfit. This is not a style I would normally wear, but I really liked it, so I may just done some more ties and sneak this look in for work sometime.

Here's what I wore:

Blazer/Tie: Thrifted  Shirt: Ashley Stewart (gifted) Pants: K&G  Belt: NY&C Shoes: GoJane Bag: A Girl's Next Best Friend      Earrings: Vintage they were my Bigma's Bangles/Ring: Forever21 Watch: XOXO via BCF

How cute is that bag! I won a GIVEAWAY last month and that's what I scored

I'm going to do a separate post about this GORG bag. Just LOVE it!

    I really, really, really like this outfit!!! It is too cute! The blazer is amazing. I love the color palette you chose. I didnt participate because this is really not my style & I just felt like I would look awkward!

    I LOVE your whole look! The colors are beautiful. After the challenge, I sort of swore off ties, but if I had this same exact outfit going on, I would definitely rock a tie again. :)

    Yes!!! I loves this!!! The colors are soft and they compliment one another so well! Never thought that brown and pink would go so well together! I never think to look for ties while thrifting.

    Hi Inez,
    Thank you for your lovely comment. This look wouldn't be on the top of my list either, so had to get creative with what laid around in my closet. I love the checkered blazer and your soft pink tie. I would wear this look to work too. Great job!
