Left: Blazer // Oxford Shirt // Skirt // Boots // Belt // Tote
Right: Sweater // Skirt // Belt // Boots
When I saw the image above from Mango’s Fall 2012 Lookbook, I was instantly smitten. I mean, how perfectly prep school are these looks?! I love both, but I think the one of the left is my favorite. Blazer + oxford shirt + polka dot skirt + boots= one sharp outfit!
I tried to recreate these looks for less (see links above), but you can also shop these outfits directly from Mango’s website. This picture is definitely some great fall outfit inspiration- I’m getting more and more excited for cooler temperatures by the minute!
Tell me: Which do you prefer, the look on the left or the one on the right?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I love the shape of the skirt on the right, but the outfit on the left would be more practical for our climate … :) They’re both lovely. :)
I really love the shape of the skirt on the right too! What is the climate generally like where you live?
I love both looks! Reminds me of my private school days (in a good way, haha).
Haha, I had to wear a uniform too, way back in elementary school! :)
I love these looks so much, too cute! That F21 skirt is only $6?? Looks like I need to do some shopping…

Thanks Elana! Yes, some of these finds are pretty affordable and I’m really in the mood to do some fall shopping myself! :)
perfect for “back to school”!

Agreed! :D
Definitely excited for the classy version of the schoolgirl look this fall. These almost remind me of a more grown-up Blair Waldorf look :)
Yes, that’s totally true! Love Blair’s style on GG :)
