Preppy in Chevrons

 

Outfit details: 

J. Crew Merino Maya Cardigan (available in cotton from J. Crew Factory online--open weekends!, or sub these options: here or here)

Anthro Pointedly Skirt (style #19430602--check in store! My local store still had a couple.)

Urban Outfitters cable knee socks (get a similar pair here or here)

Bass Enfield saddle shoe (super comfy and warm, yay!)

I've been secretly eyeing this skirt, really digging the 70's vibe. When I read on the reviews on Anthro's site and one of them stated it was based on a skirt Grace Kelly used to wear, it had to be mine. 

I decided to mix eras a little bit by adding the saddle shoes. My first instinct was to throw on some boots and head out for the day, but I think the preppy twist really tied everything together much better. Not quite how Ms. Kelly would have styled it, perhaps, but I feel ready to skip to study hall or ask somebody to the Sadie Hawkins dance.

And--congrats to Jacqueline who won the bunting necklace giveaway! If you want to purchase one of your own, meander on over to Mary's Etsy shop.
