I happened to be on campus last week to have lunch with my mother and check out some of the Alumni gear at the bookstore. I picked up a heather gray crewneck sweater and a navy wool fitted hat. both embroidered with my alma mater. The inspiration came when I was holding the sweater and checking out a plaid shirt similar to the one above. Heather gray is an understated color that is incredibly versatile and has a very vintage collegiate look to it. It's a great look for going to class, carousing around town, doing your holiday shopping, or just looking sharp.

Excellent editing for a classic look. Something about it is a little too rustic for me, personally. However, I really love the shoes (of course) and briefcase. Do you have any of those J Crew sweaters? I tried some last spring and the pilling was just awful.

i am obsessed with the color grey this season. i am naturally drawn toward everything grey at stores these days.
i am also interested in how the crew neck is making an excellent comeback. last season i wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything besides a v neck. but, maybe it's just because i am getting into the ivy-trad look.

Excellent. For the winter season I gravitate towards gray, loden green, tan/fawn, and chestnut colours. I really like the waxed vest in the picture. Nice!
Just so people know: The waxed cotton L.L. Bean vest pictured here is the ladies' version.
