Mrs Jack of All Trades: Preppy

31 January 2013

Preppy

Why, hello again! This is a bit unusual, 2 outfit posts in a week! Yes, this is because this week I will not be doing Foodie Weekend. I am going to be a bit busy this weekend to actually hit the kitchen, but next week I'll back again with some easy recipes for you to try. Wow, I bet my helper Rasiyah is thanking her lucky star as madam will not be messing the kitchen this week! ;D

Outfit this time is a result of me trying out my version of so called 'preppy' look. It is also another way of wearing a boring black sweater by layering it with a sheer soft shirt. Minimal accessories give an overall classic minimal feel to the whole look and that's exactly what I was looking for!

:: Outfit ::

Shirt : Forever 21

Cashmere sweater : Massimo Dutti

Jeans : Siwy

Shoes : Steve Madden

Bag : Louis Vuitton (Speedy 30)
