I love a great preppy look, but also like to tone it down with a bit of the unexpected. Enter a Barbour jacket & tennis sweater with a pair of distressed denim, the perfect pair of girly pumps and a major it-bag.
It’s no secret that I’ve got a penchant for designer handbags. It’s definitely a weakness, but in my mid-20s it’s often impractical to be advocating to you, my readers, who might even be younger than me to run out and purchase a super expensive it-bag. Enter the brilliant Bag Borrow or Steal.
Y’all this may be the best thing ever; for a fee, rent out, “borrow” for a month, any designer handbag of your picking, Celine, Chloe, Gucci, you name it, BBOS most likely has it! Plus, if you love it then you can purchase it for a reduced price! Pretty much a win, win, right?!
I’m so excited that the weather is finally turning towards fall so I can pull out my trusty Barbour Beadnell jacket. It’s one of the top five things I have in my closet; a serious go-to and something I highly recommend you invest in if you’re looking for a great jacket that will last for years on end.
Paired with an adorable tennis sweater – who says white after Labor Day is a no-go?! I am in love with this  Duffield Lane Cascade sweater. It’s so comfy, great quality and just the right amount of weight for the fluctuating temps. See how I also recently styled it here.
Lastly, I am in love with my Blank Denim distressed jeans. But, I do feel like the wash is a bit light for the seasons ahead. If you have a pair of budget-friendly finds you recommend, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
