I grew up wearing uniforms for most of my life and this is about the closest I’ll ever go to wearing the full prep school uniform again.
The 70′s are back and so are bow blouses. I’ve been on a classic style kick lately, so I’ve scaled back the boho for some clean lines and crisp details. This updated look has all the trappings of a preppy look with a twist. A bright sweater adds an unexpected pop of color and the structured satchel provides a flourish of traditionalism.
Though this outfit harkens back to my school days, I highly doubt I’d be mistaken for a student in this outfit.

You’re the chic and polished Office Lady most OL’s want to look like.

That is a super cute outfit
I love bow blouses and preppy skirts!
I like the simple and casual look of the skirt with the blazer with a peek of the cream bow sticking out but I LOVE it even more when you take the blazer off and there’s a burst of color from the light blue sweater. So gorgeous, and yes I do think you will be able to get those student discounts
