Q- I am starting my first year in college for journalism and I was hoping to look the part. I don’t have any style in particular, just classy/classic pieces seeing as I don’t have time to go shopping. I am pretty slim, 5’6″ but my body is a little hard to dress for. I was hoping you could help me find long cardigans that are a bit loose but have a band around the bottom, obviously button up. I like darker colors (navy blues, dark brown/gray, black) but I can pull off most colors well.
I was also hoping you could help me find long shirts. Ones that reach around the bum. The new baggy tanks are also pretty good on me but I can’t find any less then $50. I don’t mind shopping online but I only have a $150 spending limit.
A- Sounds like what you need is a good boyfriend cardigan and some affordable Alexander Wang style tank tops.
For cardigans I recommend:
– Boyfriend cardigan from Barney’s CO-OP for $148
– C&C California boyfriend cardigan for $84
– Extrafine wool cardigan from Banana Republic for $90
For tank tops I recommend:
– James Perse Long Tank Top for $45
Hope those work out for you and good luck in school.
