I think the combination is great since the leather just knocks a little preppy edge off in a great way.

I'm going to think about more ways to combine tough and preppy. Another tough thing I like are studs, but I've never bought anything like that before. Firecracker - I have Miele down as my next vacuum. SO has one. We both love it. My current vacuum still has good suction though, so it's hard to give it up. Brooklyn - Ah, I hadn't thought about the silver hardware as 'tough'.  Jessikams on "Does this work: preppy and ‘tough’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-preppy-and-%e2%80%98tough%e2%80%99#post-2019341 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 13:08:31 +0000 Jessikams 2019341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh it looks cute!

I am loving the more relaxed look of wavy hair. unfrumped on "Does this work: preppy and ‘tough’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-preppy-and-%e2%80%98tough%e2%80%99#post-2019329 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 11:54:55 +0000 unfrumped 2019329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A good outfit if you like distressed jeans. The jacket fits well, which is key. Great sunglasses! I don’t see much preppy , though I do get the shirt. viva on "Does this work: preppy and ‘tough’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-preppy-and-%e2%80%98tough%e2%80%99#post-2019327 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 11:39:21 +0000 viva 2019327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for including the vacuum make.

I would say “tough” - because of the leather jacket + distressing + boots + silver zip hardware on your bag + black. Softened by your wavy hair, knitwear, preppy shirt. You look fab Smittie!

New sunnies look perfect on you. I love the basic but quality vibe of the boots and the preppy/edgy juxtaposition.

I might try this type of vibe more often! It's a bit outside my usual. Jaileen - Yes, I felt a bit like Janice Joplin! It's the sunglasses :-) Eva - I don't see you much on the forums but I think our paths often cross on our 'finds'. Viva - I don't have finds, but I posted a list of brands at the top.

Your distressed jeans add another layer of edge, so the leather jacket doesn’t just come out of nowhere. kkards on "Does this work: preppy and ‘tough’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-preppy-and-%e2%80%98tough%e2%80%99#post-2019218 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 16:27:43 +0000 kkards 2019218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ FAB!!! love all of this Anonymous on "Does this work: preppy and ‘tough’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-preppy-and-%e2%80%98tough%e2%80%99#post-2019213 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 16:24:25 +0000 Anonymous 2019213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep-totally work!
