Even though I was an Army brat, for most of my childhood I grew up in the South (three years in Louisiana, the rest in Virginia). I loved me some polos growing up- Penny loafers and socks, mini-skirts with sweaters. All that, with hairspray and a gloss. Yup.
So when J.Crew launched their collaboration with Lacoste (you know, that beloved little alligator) I jumped all over it. Lacoste has been around forever, but this collaboration reminded me that classic prep touches can be injected into any look- it creates irony especially when paired with your leather jacket, a black trouser pant, or some Frye boots...
Look below for some Golf Club/Miffy/BMW inspiration!
