Peppy With A Side of Prep

 I’m flying back from New York to California as I type this and while I’m anxious to see my guy it’s always sad for me to leave that city behind. It felt good to be back. And it felt like fall which made me really happy (minus this morning’s rain storm which, okay NY I don’t miss those days–getting drenched while also sweating on the way to work). More on my time in New York to come, today’s post is all about this sweater and skirt duo…

Preppy school girl isn’t something I usually lean towards but I was feeling it (I did go to a Catholic University after all) and picked up this coordinating set from A.L.C. at Nordstrom recently. A.L.C. is a brand I love for classic investment pieces that are a bit more unique. I especially always like their skirts as the flared silhouettes are the most flattering on my boyish figure. Oh and this skirt has made for some great spinning action! You can shop more of my favorites from the brand below or at Nordstrom here
