Long live preppy style

When I was middle-schooler, The Preppy Handbook was my Bible. Pink and green were my favorite colors, and I really felt my name should have been Buffy for less cool reasons than would later present themselves. I was sad that both duck boots and rugby don’t naturally occur in Phoenix.

I vividly recall wearing my sweater over knotted around my shoulders. What a douche.

Then things changed. I found black,  baby doll dresses and beat writers and The Handbook was tossed aside.

I recently dug up a copy of The Preppy Handbook (yes, I still have it), and realized that there’s a lot of Buffy still in my wardrobe.

Oxfords, Tretorns, wrap dresses were all preppy staples, and still are very much alive and well in my wardrobe.

Here are some I’m liking:


1.) Madras Plaid Sundress, $119

2.) Madras Boyfriend Short, $69.50

3.) Nautilus One-piece, $138

4.) Pink Cardigan, $39.50

5.) Tretorns, $52.27
