Sarah Vickers is the queen of class. The mastermind behind the blog “Classy Girls Wear Pearls”, Vickers writes of her chic, girly, New England life alongside her husband, designer Kiel James Patrick. If you don’t follow CGWP, her Instagram chronicles her small town and big city adventures in vibrant, colorful photographs. Her style is nothing short of upscale, which can lead those of us on the college budget, struggling to wear anything but sweatpants, feeling unfashionable, helplessly scrolling through the internet in search of anything we can afford. After finding myself in this situation far too many times, I have finally taken the time to steal her style, and put that scrolling to good use, finding affordable alternatives to her perfectly paired pearls and gingham. Now it’s your turn – search no further, ladies, and keep reading for just a few of Ms. Vickers’ best looks brought to you by a girl also dying to look fashionable on a budget, too!

KJP makes an appearance in this classic fall attire in Sarah’s small collection of his bracelets on her wrist, which perfectly complements the colors in her scarf and the camel tone to her sweater. Pair this top look with dark denim and loafers or a navy skirt and riding boots to complete your fall wardrobe! (oxford: Gap // sweater: J. Crew // scarf: Old Navy // bracelets: KJP // IG: sarahkjp)
