Michael Kors Pants, E&J Sunglasses, Zara Boots, Balenciaga Work, H&M Denim Shirt, Lipstick: MAC Violetta, Sweater from local Brooklyn store, Something Else.
If blogging has taught me anything, it’s if I don’t feel comfortable in a particular outfit or style, I wont wear it…bottom line. With that being said, whenever I wear something even slightly preppy (like argyle) I need to balance it out with something on the edgier/less preppy side. These leather-like (yes, again…) pants are the perfect balance to this sweater.
Also, wanted to clear up that the pants in the post below are NOT leather. Very leather like, but not the real thing.

Heading to Miami today (5: 40 AM flight!) for a girls weekend! Pretty excited to spend some quality time with them and for some R&R.

The argyle sweater is so autumn perfect and super cute! Adore how you styled it with those incredible and edgy heels. Have a wonderful time in Miami!

I love wearing preppy like sweater and top and make it edgy on the bottom. This is so fall perfect. Hope you're doing well and enjoy your time in Miami.

combining and juxtaposing elements from a variety of aesthetic sources is the best way to stay fresh and unique looking.
that sweater and those so-not-leather pants are killer.

Lately, I"ve been obsessed with preppy looks. Last week, I cuffed my khakis & yesterday I sported an oxford shirt with a popped collar & pearls. I really like your spin on the classic trend.

Faux leather pants are my favorite thing right now. I style mine similar to yours so I can pull off waering them to the office. I get to feel like a bit of a rebel all day.

I think it was a good choice to to pair something edgier with the sweater, it works really well to take it from preppy to edgy. Great look.
