Didn't note the burgundy at first until blazer added. Blazer- one for me, please!</p> <p>Recall Angie's blue + dark red ensembles? This is like the electrified<br /> version. Killer. </p> <p>Also love the sweater- great V neck for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384675 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 02:32:13 +0000 DonnaF 1384675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous plaid and nice face framing sweater.&nbsp; Love that the sweater is navy rather than white which would make it look as though it belong courtside.&nbsp; I hope that I can find a plaid that looks as good on me (at the right price!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384315 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:17:15 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1384315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater and have always liked that look...A plaid that is not a flannel is on my current wish list... Love both these looks and laughing at you as a preppy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384314 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:15:15 +0000 Mona 1384314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! The blue plaid shirt with burgundy blazer is a match made in heaven. I love both these outfits and am right up there with you on mad about plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384306 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:09:39 +0000 Anonymous 1384306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That plaid shirt will make your eyes look just electric, Janet! I love it. The sweater looks more modern because of the colorway (you always manage to look more modern than preppy-- I need to take notes) so no fear there. That burgundy blazer is stellar too. You are genius at combining colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384300 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:03:31 +0000 viva 1384300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these new additions. We used to call these tennis sweaters, but tennis or cricket, I'd definitely play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384294 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:00:01 +0000 kellygirl 1384294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially adore the plaid shirt.

The colors in the plaid and with the blazer are gorgeous on you and I love the sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384011 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:07:09 +0000 Isabel 1384011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh..the blazer...plunk ! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It is so funny , I look at this and I do not see preppy at all. &nbsp;I think because of the boots and the hair. &nbsp;They are really great looks. These tertiary colors &nbsp;( I think that is what you would call them ) are just fantastic on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1384007 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:04:05 +0000 Angie 1384007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha.

Also love the cricket sweater in black. &nbsp;I agree that the color scheme is a little different from the usual version of that sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1383901 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 22:07:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 1383901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds :)&nbsp;Love the colours in the shirt - they look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1383758 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 17:15:52 +0000 Janet 1383758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Angie, my four plaid shirts sister! (Well, now I will have two at the ranch, and four at home :-D) The blazer is Elizabeth &amp; James from two years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1383751 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 17:03:00 +0000 Angie 1383751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Team Plaid. I am besotted myself, Janet. High five.&nbsp;I now have FOUR plaid shirts, and wear them all the time. We are no longer counting how many we have. Plus you need a little Ranch Stash.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE this outfit. Killer all the way.&nbsp;&nbsp;(I have a Preppy streak). Aren't cricket jumpers fun. That blazer is soooooo gorgeous. Who made it?&nbsp; </p> <p>Hello Tippie and Sophie. Mummy's little shadows.&nbsp;&nbsp;xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1383750 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 17:02:12 +0000 catgirl 1383750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you already have a few plaid shirts? </p> <p>You look fantastic!&nbsp; I love the sweater in the unusual colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1383739 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 16:32:51 +0000 retailgirl 1383739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, preppy is my aesthetic so I like them both! ( I also like the blazer in 3...I have one similar from Brooks brothers last year that I love). The sweater would look great layered. I see nothing wrong with multiples of things you like...if you like plaid, and plaid is having a moment, then go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-preppy-side-comes-out-2-new-purchases#post-1383731 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 16:13:03 +0000 Janet 1383731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two new items, that in some form or another have been on my radar for a while:</p> <p>1) (pics 1-3) Ok, I'm a bit mad for plaid lately, but I saw this shirt some weeks ago and could not get it out of my mind. Then...a sale and a coupon made it irresistible! Yes, you remember correctly if you're saying, "Janet, don't you already own a few plaid shirts?" Well, two of them are flannel and do not layer easily under sweaters or jackets. The oldest, cheapest, least favorite one is getting demoted to ranch wear to make room for this one. I love the lightweight cotton and the colors are my favorites! You can even see how well it goes with my burgundy blazer, and in fact, I wore that combo yesterday (didn't get full outfit pics though, as my day was non-stop). </p> <p>2) (pics 4-5)Whatever you call this style -- a cricket sweater? -- I have always liked the sporty, graphic quality of it, and I was tempted months ago when a very slouchy white version of it appeared. But I never pulled the trigger on that version. When I spotted this one, I thought I'd give it a try. Again, sale and coupon enabled. It's slightly sized up for a bit of ease and layering possibilities, but not so big as to be overly trendy. I envision wearing it with distressed or BF jeans to de-traditionalize it. I also feel like the fact that it's black and not navy or white makes it slightly less traditional. </p> <p>Not a K/R because I'm pretty happy with both, but thought I'd share. Tags are already off the plaid shirt but not the sweater. Feedback welcome. </p>
