Prep It Up

Oct 23, 2013 | Fashion

Ah, the countryside in autumn…it inspires me to throw on some (imitation) riding pants and class it up Ivy League style.

The leggings I’m wearing have an equestrian vibe, with a mix of tux.  Here is a similar pair with this same aesthetic (Kardashian Kollection).  And another pair with faux trim leather down the sides (from Legwear Loft).

The outfit:

  • Leggings:  Came across these at a store in Spain, called Stradivarius.  It’s pretty similar to Forever21 or H&M..super cute stuff.  While attempting to track this store down in the U.S. (no such luck, womp womp), I found out about ASOS marketplace.  I had no idea this existed!  It’s kind of like Poshmark– you are buying and selling items from your own closet.  I found a whole section for Stradivarius clothing on there.
  • Gold Skinny belt: Forever21
  • Puffed sleeve shirt: fave consignment store in Colorado
  • Boots: b.o.c.:  (superr comfy)  DSW carries these, and here is a pair on sale at Belk.

*I also came across this fun site, Chictopia, with street style based on Stradivarius pieces- BUT then I discovered the best part about the site– you can shop super cute thiiiings.  Some items even have free U.S. shipping.  Take a look.
