Black OCBD with Tailored Straight-Leg Trousers The classic Oxford Cloth Button Down shirt has been a mainstay of preppy looks, but when you see it in its black form, you can appreciate it as a more versatile wardrobe option

Yeah, Im not taken with black shoes & brown trousers, maybe if a charcoal brown hue, but otherwise there are too many browns, leathers & styles

That said, I think maxi dresses can work, too, as long as they dont give off a ballgown vibe

Choose between a ruby red, artichoke, black or blue iris color, pair it with some classic jewelry and you're all set to go

It worked out

The Ashley is a 70's inspired faux wrap maxi that features cascading cape sleeves, a v-neck bodice, and elasticized waist, and an a-line maxi skirt with deep pockets and gathers at back
