Love how you mix LLBean and LE! #1 and #5 are my faves. Those slouchy matchsticks are awesome. Gorgeous plaid top. LOVE the fair isle cardi--you make FI look so hip! Your accessory in 3 is beyond adorable! Is that an asymmetric hem top she's sporting? She looks like a mini-blogger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778735 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:08:57 +0000 rachylou 778735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 &amp; 5. In #4, I think the color match between your boots and stockings is amazingly perfect. Also, after seeing your hair pulled back in #1, I think you'd be so cute in #4 with your hair pulled back also.</p> <p>#5 is head to toe polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778651 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 17:16:29 +0000 catgirl 778651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are my faves here - modern prepster! But I have to say #2 is very flattering and your little one is stealing the show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778585 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:10:46 +0000 JR 778585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like preppy, and especially the way you do it: not too girly or cutesy. Thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778578 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:02:15 +0000 Parsley 778578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like every single one of these.<br /> I have sized-up and slouchy J Crew matchsticks, too, and I love that look.<br /> #2 is making me want a plaid shirt, and usually I don't even like plaid!<br /> And, oh! That houndstooth dress is fabulous!<br /> love, love, LOVE ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778567 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:47:17 +0000 cinnamon fern 778567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 is fantastic! I love the look of 5 too but the shedding would make me crazy.</p> <p>In 4 I wonder if the pencil skirt could do with some narrowing at the bottom? Or is that just the way you're standing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778543 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:13:46 +0000 Sarah A 778543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the plaid in #1 and the boots in #4! Great super prep style. JCrew is hugely inspirational for me right now.... You do it so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778533 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:04:11 +0000 Sara L. 778533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your casual outfits with the plaid tops! Everytime I see a great outfit with plaid, I think I need to buy a plaid shirt but then when I get to the store, I think "eh, plaid". Once again, I'm thinking I need a plaid top. They look so good when styled in an interesting way, as you've done here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778465 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:19:12 +0000 Anonymous 778465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Jeanne! I just love all of the the colors, patterns, texture and sheen you have going on in these outfits. Not a dull one in the bunch. Thank you for posting #1 especially, my boots make the legs of my jeans scrunch up like that and I was wondering if it was okay; you've set my mind at ease! That houndstooth dress is simply amazing on you and the tipped blazer is just the thing to top it off with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778460 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:09:00 +0000 Janet 778460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so consistently fab! I really love #3 and #1. And happy birthday!! </p> <p>It's so funny, I'm not very preppy as a rule, but certain traditionally preppy styles -- madras, argyle, etc. -- really appeal to me. I love that the madras in your top is set on the bias so the lines it creates are diagonal, rather than square. I might have to find that shirt. Hmm, preppy rocker? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778424 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 11:04:42 +0000 kkards 778424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ll bean! i'm feeling the need to revised my preppie high school years!<br /> i must admit, i'm stalking the fair aisle sweater that jcrew has.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/woolblends/PRDOVR~30054/99102876326/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~17~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~fair/30054.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../30054.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778421 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 10:42:18 +0000 Jjsloane 778421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the boosts!</p> <p>Suz: this is the dress (although I got it at the Rack for $49 so you could try shopping around for Donna Morgan Portia) I love that the length is perfect for work and it's quite a nice substantial fabric. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Donna-Morgan-Womens-Portia-Dress/dp/B007Y0VAX0" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Donna-Mo.....B007Y0VAX0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-extravaganza#post-778317 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 02:32:58 +0000 Jenava 778317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, #1 is fab.
