Old-School Favorites with a Twist for Fall
Penny loafers, rugby sweaters and preppy blazers, oh my! Right now, these are just a few of our favorite things. We’re lusting after old-school collegiate pieces and preppy accessories. It’s borrowed from the boys, with a girly twist. Does it get any better?
A preppy sweater vest gets an update with a longer length and gold
buttons. Looks darling over a button down and kilt, or punk it up with a
tank and long necklace.
