My first look with these plaid jeans was decidedly rock-n-roll. This time I went preppy with a navy boucle jacket, tie-neck shirt (also pictured without the tie), and to top it off - new loafer pumps. I've been wanting dark brown pumps and decided to go with a loafer style, for a little extra oomph and it's a style I've been considering for awhile. I got a great deal with an online coupon (now expired), however, I'm not totally sold on them (I haven't worn them out of the house yet). Which way do you prefer today's outfit - with or without the tie? Which loafer pumps are your favorite?
