It never hurts to keep a few vintage preppy pieces in your wardrobe for days that you want to feel old school cool. I dress for my mood, so when I go back to my childhood home and I'm nostalgic for elementary school days I love to throw on a preppy-chic uniform and reminisce.

My cargo pants from J.Crew are one of my all-time favorite purchases, simply because of how versatile they are. Yesterday, I wore them with Keds and a t-shirt while apartment hunting around NYC with Kitty. To dress them up for an early dinner, I traded in my t-shirt for this silk top (found for $15.00 in an LA boutique) and switched in my red Keds for strappy snakeskin sandals. I rocked the red lip (Kardashian Beauty Joy Sticks are my new addiction) all day & night.
