Gray, Pink, Oxblood, Plum... Casual Preppy w/an Edge...



preppy with an edge, gray pink oxblood plum outfit


What I'm Wearing...

* Vintage gray blazer... last seen here
* Peachy pink open tank by Miguelina... {also seen here} worn under a peachy pink blouse by Zoe & Sam
* Charcoal gray skinny cords {which actually look plum here} are by Blank Denim
* Dark silver knotted necklace {seen here} and vintage locket was my grandma's
* Vintage sunglasses
* Nicole Miller striped box clutch c/o Nicole Miller {and which happen to match my...}
* Striped tasseled loafers by Dolce Vita


Because I rarely dress in a full preppy style, on the occasion that I do lean in that direction, I find that I have to add a bit of an edge to it to make it work for me. The layered and untucked long peachy pink blouses give it a looser feeling even with the wool blazer and tasseled loafers. This was my original Thanksgiving day outfit... but when we got together with the family later in the day, I traded my blazer for an even more casual sweater {you can see that look here}.

How are you getting these really big/loose waves in your hair? Is it a 1.5" curling iron? Looks beautiful!
