 After years in prep school, I just can’t shake my love for classic preppy style.  No matter what each season’s trends may be, I will always mix in a little bit of preppy style into the mix. I’ll have a boho moment every now and again, but I always come back to the pearls, cardigans, loafers, and  The moment I saw this Shop 1802 (c/o) dress, I knew it had to be mine. The sheer white fabric, classic tunic silhouette, and navy lace detailing all make my inner prep smile like its the first day of a Lilly Pulitzer sale. It’s the perfect year-round dress, and you can dress it up or down to fit any event. Can you imagine how cute adding a top knot, red lips, and sparkly gold belt would be for a holiday party? If you’re looking for the perfect dress, just go ahead and buy this gem from Shop 1802. It’s comfortable, flattering, and crazy affordable.

Of course, I just couldn’t resist adding my trusty monogram necklace, my new knot bracelets from (close dupe, BTW!), the cutest little bow studs from , and the most perfect cognac tassel tote! I added my new favorite belt from (PERFECT size for cinching dresses & tops!) and my spiky taupe heels to balance out the look and prevent total prep overload.
