Featured Friend - Allyson

Though her collection of J.Crew sweaters and collared shirts might lead you to believe otherwise, Allyson lives in southern California. I love her style because she does classic and fun well. She mixes a lot of preppy staples like collar shirts and non-skinny pants with fun sneakers and menswear.

This outfit in particular caught my attention because it was festive and fun without falling back on the cliche Christmas sweater. Plus I am a sucker for menswear accessories like suspenders and the bow tie. While the thought of green pants with a red shirt might seem a bit crazy, she made it work by pairing her outfit with white sneakers that had matching colored piping and balanced out the white shoes with white suspenders on top. Well done, Allyson!
