It seems like anytime I’m at a loss for what to wear, I fall back on one of two standbys: All Black Everything or Preptastic. This day, I chose the latter. I mean, you can’t really go wrong with the classics, right?

I’ve told you guys all about my addiction to Ralph Lauren’s cable knit sweaters, but they really are a staple in my wardrobe and are so simple to throw on but still look smart. Or maybe it’s just a throwback to my high school days when having a little tiny horse embroidered on your shirt was somewhat of a status symbol.  In any case, I just love ’em.

Now can we talk about the blazer? I just can’t seem to get enough of this thing either. Can you tell?

For the most part, I’ve always abided by the rule that your coat should be longer than your dress.  But on this particular day, I just couldn’t resist pairing both of these nubby tweed textures together.  I mean really, can you blame me?  Fashion rules be darned – this coat and dress were just begging to be worn with one another.
