Ya know when you want to be preppy and edgy at the same time? I seriously feel this way ALL THE TIME, especially in the winter. It really is a catch 22, although classic preppy styles will always have my heart, it’s hard not to pick up some the latest edgy trends. This is why I often mix preppy styles (like this crisp oxford) and edgy pieces (like leather leggings— UNDER $50).
This has actually become one of my go-to outfits lately. It is professional enough for work but also so comfortable because….leggings duh! I seriously never wear pants anymore!
I always love a classic oxford shirt, always so versatile but this one is especially special because of the perfectly stitched sequins along the seams. Of course as soon as I saw this, my 10-year old, sparkle obsessed self went crazy! Since sparkles can be a little much, I always pair this oxford with black leggings, and in this case leather leggings! Even though I usually hate the black and blue combination (reminds me of a bruise), this ensemble goes well due to the grey metallic buttons down the center of the oxford.
Let’s accessorize! First thing first, I know its terrible to have a black hair elastic on your wrist for pictures, BUT are you really a girl if you don’t have a hair elastic on your wrist– so just get over it. Otherwise, I paired this outfit with my classic stack– including my Michael Kors gold watch and an the Stella & Dot renegade bracelet (a totally must-have!). I also chose my gold & black Legend pendant from Stella & Dot, matching perfectly with the black metallic buttons and leather leggings. Even though it’s not typically my style, this necklace is one of my favorites of the Fall collection– I seriously find myself picking it up ALL THE TIME. Lastly, I wore my black leather OTK boots, talk about all black errethang. I really prefer wearing these babies with this outfit but it was far, far, far too cold!
How do you mix preppy and edgy styles?

I have a very similar pair of boots and I wear them with everything! I love how shiny and different they are… Love the outfit… I need a Kate Spade bag in my life.
Love this look! I am all about things I can wear to work that are comfortable. I seriously would wear variations of leggings every day if I could!

love the mix of edge and preppy styles! I tend to add studded jewelry items or accessories to classic pieces.

Love the purse. Love the boots!
Ha Leather Leggings bring em on I love Leather anything me. And this outfit is screaming out at me to go find…Let me go gym some more 🙂
Cute outfit! I love the simplicity of the blouse paired with the fanciness of the boots.
Haha guilty of rocking the hair tie bracelet lol I love the mix of style here. I’m a girly girl normally but sometimes I want more edge. I love the boots! How tall are they?
So cute! I don’t usually think of black leather as preppy but you really make it work!
Great outfit! I love your boots 🙂
I love the look of leather. For some reason, I never wear it. But I love the style on everyone else.
What a fun look!
xoxo, Jenny
Very cute outfit! Looks very comfy!
I love how classic the look is, and I’ll bet those leggings are so comfortable!
You look very nice in this outfit! You could also wear a thin belt to make the shirt look kinda like a dress with the boots. I loved everything though! I don’t know if I would be able to pull those boots off though. They probably would take up my whole leg since I’m so short.
I really wnat some leather leggings!
