Inspired By: Preppy Basics

As much as I love trends, I always reach for timeless, classic pieces first. A little preppy, a little masculine, perfect.

The Striped Tee: Two Ways

I love this H.E. by Mango's classic striped tee (with a twist). Doesn't the men section offer the best basics? The half-striped detail makes it perfect for those of us that are a little afraid of full-on horizontal stripes, but still love the trend. Paired with an army green vest and pink flats for day, you can be cute and comfy for a day of holiday shopping. For a last-minute night out, leather shorts and a sequin clutch add a little sass without looking like you tried too hard.

Night:
