Hello Dolls,
One might ask, "What is the 'Old Money' look?"
Well its more of an aesthetic based on the lifestyle from those who come from a beautiful cushion called generational wealth. Picture classic Ralph Lauren, country clubs and Ivy League schools. Those are elements that add to the rich fabric of the 'Old Money' lifestyle which inspires the overall style.
Some of my favorite sources of 'Old Money' inspiration would be the most fashionable First Lady of America, Jackie Kennedy and the characters, Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl TV show and Dominique Deveraux from Dynasty TV Show 1980s. I also adore the Ralph Lauren 90s Ad Campaigns. I implore you to give these fashion icons a look.

A blazer cardigan gives an effortless elegant look. It has the anatomy of a blazer, but is faced with a casual and comfortable sweater knit fabric.
The blazer cardigan adds a casual elegance to the more formal collared dress.
The elegance is heightened by the Ralph Lauren crest on the front chest pocket.
STYLING TIP: Go for embroidered crest cardigans, sweaters and jackets to achieve that Ivy League look.
