Not quite Ralph Lauren...


outfit:
shirt, jeans- Forever 21
tie-Dad's
vest- Target
shoes-Payless

First let me start by saying please forgive me for my out of control hair, the Texas humidity and my hair are total enemies. So this weeks Bloggers Do It Better was American Prep Menswear. To be totally honest I was a little afraid of this one, mainly because I have never really worn meanswear and I wasn't sure I could pull it off. To my surprise I actually really really liked this look! I'm still not sure if I can pull this off but I'm pretty positive I would wear this look out somewhere. The tie was my favorite, I raided my dad's closet and beyond the Christmas and 80's ties I found this gem!! I thought it worked well. Thanks Dad! And thanks Pretty Shiny Sparkly for this look, I love it!

Great job! I agree, I was a little daunted by menswear, but it's actually easier than it sounds- who knew?

Brownie points for the red white and blue scheme you incorporated!
