You've seen me in similar preppy looks before, but what I love about this inspiration photo and tried to re-create is the punk rock attitude. My top half says I'm attending an Ivy League school, while my bottom half indicates I might be at a rock concert. And I kind of like it that way. :-)

Styling tip: Mix and match styles like ballet with military, rock-n-roll with preppy and goth with equestrian for some seriously stylish ensembles. What are your favorite "genres" to mix and match?
