in The Bloggers Do It Better, The Outfit

Zara blazer | Jos. A Bank tie (borrowed from HB) | American Eagle jeans | Gap belt | Timberland boots (c/o) | Jewelry: Shashi, David Yurman, vintage | Lips: Nars “Schiapp”

Well this was so, so much fun! From learning how to tie a tie to rummaging through my boyfriend’s closet for the perfect tie, to deciding on a crisp pink blazer (last seen here) and brown knee boots for that equestrian flair…I really loved getting lost in this look. Now, would I wear this every day? Heck no. I live in a metropolitan Dirty South city. I’d probably get shot. But it was so much fun to explore and find out that it was doable. What about you? Are you having any issues pulling your look together? How excited are you??

Feel free to “like” or follow on Bloglovin’!

The Prep School Bloggers Do It Better challenge will be available for link-up at midnight (central time, -0600 GMT) this Friday, May 20th. Make sure you have everything set up correctly before you link.

    Love your take on it! I also happen to be wearing my prep school ensemble today, so I'll be linking up to it tomorrow! I agree–wouldn't wear it every day but love the change of pace! (I've already been told I look like Clark Kent…I've decided that's a compliment) ;)

    First of all, you look tremendous and I am so glad that you invented this style challenge because I have the PERFECT outfit for it. I've actually worn it several times before (before I was a blogger and didn't take pics, boo), so what a perfect way to introduce it! This will be my first Bloggers Do It Better Challenge and I am super stoked! I love how you went all equestrian. Very well done. Hooray!

    You pull off that preppy look perfectly. The tie on you couldn't be more cute and I love the candy color of your lips!

    You look SO CUTE; love the pink blazer!! You could be in a Polo Ralph Lauren ad with this look.

    I must admit this challenge stumped me a bit because prep is SO out of my element and style interest, but I'm pretty pleases with what I came up with and will be publishing my post tomorrow. :-)

    Those boots are divine. I would come over and get them but I am quite sure that tiny little you does not wear a 8.5! They give your preppy kind of a bada** look…really fun with the pink blazer too! Your makeup is just perfect…do you get it done for your shoots? Can't believe you are working 14 hour days and creating content this great. Thanks for the fun.

    Fierce! I like the look on you. I especially like the blazer; is it pink or beige? I've been very excited about this challenge and got together everything needed. I even tried the outfit on today and it looks like it'll do.

  • http://booksandlooks.blogspot.com hurricanekerrie

    Whoa, lady! This looks so powerful and yet feminine at the same time! lovin' the blazer.

  • http://14shadesofgrey.wordpress.com/ Salazar

    This is great! I almost went with something similar, but then decided to go w/ a cardigan instead of blazer. But I’m always a sucker for the equestrian look, and you style it so well!

    I feel like a teenager but I'm saying it anyway: OMG I looooove this look!!

  • http://www.boulevarddelamadeleine.com Madeleine

    I am a true preppy girl at heart..well..I am a true many things at heart. But I hold Ivy League chic near and dear. Absolutely love your feminine take on the whole look. In fact, dear I say, I love the Great Gatsby edge! Your pink blazer is amazing and the tie adds the perfect masculine touch and pop of color. Just perfection!

  • http://fashiondivamommy.blogspot.com Fashion Confessions

    Very cool overall look. Love your tie selection. The hair is perfect too.

    I am just posting mine as I wore the outfit today. I wish I had seen your tie tutorial earlier as I had heck of a time with that this morning and my hubby had already left for work so had no help.

    Was not that hard for me since I had thrifted a plaid tie last season I have been putting together fun outfits to wear with it.

    The boots and jeans looks great, I think you can wear that regularly – I don't think I have worn a tie since my school uniform not sure I could wear one now. But would like to give the look a go, would probably have to watch your video of how to tie a tie.

  • http://www.takeonlymemories.com Vanessa

    Very cool outfit! I think you might be missing a horse though ;)

    Love the tie!
