Some of us love to dress preppy, but run the risk of looking old and boring. There are a couple easy tips for how to edge up your inner Charlotte York inspired by my new best twitter friend’s fashion, Liz Margulies’ of Gallery Girls (Bravo, Mondays, 10/9 c). I snagged some pics off of Liz’s Instagram (@LizMargulies) to show you how to be preppy AND chic.
Liz wears a hot pink skirt with her classic black and white collared shirt to edge up her outfit and keep it looking young and fresh. Infusing pops of bright, neon colors into your wardrobe is an easy way to stay fashion forward.
Adding a pop of color isn’t the only way to make a preppy outfit more trendy- here Liz adds texture with the leather on her skirt to give this ensemble some flare. Her studded clutch also gives the outfit a rocker touch.
A collared shirt with polka dots might sound too preppy and girly, but the fact that it is see through with a cami underneath keeps it current and risqué. Again, Liz adds a studded clutch which edges up her outfit even more.
