Add Some Prep in Your Step!

A look that I've been really into lately is the preppy look. I don't think there's an exact formula to follow when trying to be preppy, but there's a general idea of what a preppy person should look like.


My style inspiration here is Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) from Gossip Girl. She's the perfect preppy girl who knows how to rock her own style.

 

Let's start off with makeup.
Preppy girls tend to wear light, neutral eyeshadows, and either lipgloss, or a sheer lip color. Nothing too bright or flashy that will draw too much attention. Also, take care of your skin. Moisturize and exfoliate! Aim for a clear complexion!
 
 
Preppy girls usually have their hair natural and down. You can also wear a cute headband to add some flair to your look.
 
Now the most important part, the clothes.
For a top, you can never go wrong with a collared, button-down shirt. Tuck your shirt into a pencil skirt, or a full skirt.  You can also wear jeans, but nothing too light colored, stick with a dark wash. And throw on a cardigan if it's a little chilly outside.

 
 
And if it's wintertime, make sure you have that perfect pea coat!
 
Remember: just because it's "preppy" doesn't mean it has to look boring. I mean, look at Blair! And don't forget that confidence is your best accessory, next to your LV purse ;)
 
Thanks for reading!
Love always,
Andie
