When Preppy & Chic Unite

do you ever feel like preppy looks

in and of themselves

are lacking something?

[see above]

I see elements of prep-

plaid. belted. flats. cardigan.

but, face it, she looks like she might go to a sock hop.

but if you take what is cute about preppy clothes

put it in a blender with, say, modernity

you'll get something a lot more interesting.

cardigan + belted + polkadots + denim +correct proportions = preppy chic

bold color + gingham +cardigan = preppy chic #2

glasses + sweater + collared shirt + beachy hair = preppy chic #3

so, what are you afraid of?

that you'll get kicked out of boarding school?

good. that means you are likely inching closer and closer to chic.
