Feeling Preppy

Going through my Preppy phase...And may I say, I did not know I was preppy!

The Official Preppy Handbook by Lisa Birnbach with a tongue-in-cheek look at the Preppy way of life, published in 1980.
A sartorial take on the prep school bunch...
Madras plaid is quintessentially preppy and I've donned many in the 80s and 90s and this one made from purple, white and red 💜🤍❤️ 1980s fabric qualifies, even if it is purple and thus taboo per the book!
Pastels are a must! This pastel knit top suffices...
patchwork madras plaid shorts
With simple styling, it's borrowed from the boys
but gorgeously feminine in its pretty pastel colour palette
Yes, lots of lime! Like a lime twill jacket...
Love the matching lime buttons and detailing...
lime green basketweave bag
lime green horsebit mules
primary Parrot green chevron quilted crossbody bag 
primary royal blue chevron quilted crossbody bag 
green and blue Adidas sneakers 💚💙💚
French blue penny loafers
Neon yellow patent leather penny loafers
neon coral 🪸 topsider sneakers
Leather topsiders are a must!
Icelandic or Shetland style sweaters
Fair Isle grisley charcoal grey sweater
Shaker pale peach cardigan
Floral Fair Isle sweater
 Fair Isle cardigans
this olive green and aqua cable knit vest
Old Navy blue and red tennis jumper sweater
candy pink cable knit sweater
soft blush pink cable knit sweater
Hot pink rules! GAP fuchsia cardigan will do...
Natural linen shirt dress
Khaki rules! These khaki jeggings will do...
Cherokee label putty khaki pencil skirt
Pleated skirts are very preppy and this one is also khaki so it knocks it out of the ballpark!

WEK varsity jacket

How can I style this WEK the World dusty denim blue and pale green varsity jacket? 

Slightly oversized and below hip...
I got it directly from WEK in the 90s!
So it will work well with this blue plisse skirt
it's a bit more subdued and matches well!
