Quite honestly, every time I put on an outfit, I’d like to resemble one of two famous fashion icons: Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O. As of lately, the first word that comes to peoples’ minds when describing my style is “conservative,” which I believe has a negative and/or grandma-esque connotation. Since when did classic style and elegance become not the norm? Shouldn’t girls, younger ones in particular, strive to be beautiful and attractive without outwardly exposing their body parts with booty shorts and sheer crop tops?
I’m not hating on our generation or anything; I just wish preppy and conservative weren’t looked at in the style light as boring. Ergo, for my 4th of July OOTD, I decided to rock a Jackie O-inspired, custom-made, navy vintage poplin dress from eShakti with red heels, signature circle glasses, and patriotic bold bangles. My dress is fabulous, and I’m completely covered. Conservative win.

You dress very nice. I also don't like to show to much off. My favorite kinds of sunglasses to wear are oversized ones. I like to called them bug eye.
Gorgeous outfit! I love oversized or sports sunglasses (depending on what I'm wearing and what I'm doing 🙂
Wayfarers! I also love any sunnies that have tortoiseshell on them!

You look absolutely stunning! Those shoes? LOVE!
I love this dress! It is beautiful!
I love cats eye sunglasses for a vintage touch. Xx
I love classic styles of sunglasses, currently I'm obsessed with my Drifter sunglasses from Madewell. I completely agree with you about classic, conservative, preppy style being looked down on. I don't thing it should be. I've found my style moving more towards being preppy and I think it has less to do with getting older and more to do with admiring people like Emma Watson and Audrey Heburn. You look absolutely gorgeous.
