      Tips

      • J.Crew factory is your new best friend. Not only does the factory store sell items at lower prices than regular J.Crew, but it also carries a wide array of clothing that suits this look. Places like Madewell and Banana Republic sell some of these items as well.
        Thanks
      • Jewelry is fine as long as it isn't excessive. Some bracelets and earrings will do.
        Thanks
      • Be sure to iron everything so that it appears fresh and crisp. This will also help you look more put-together.
        Thanks
