My Preppy Description for English Tea's contest

Chloe over at English Tea just held a great contest where you had to describe how you were preppy, while I did not win....I thought you might enjoy my description. I would love to hear yours too if you are up for the task and didn't write already.


I was born in the heart of the preppy South. I wore a plaid jumper to grade school with saddle oxfords, a navy blue sweater with a crest and a grosgrain ribbon tied in my curls. I graduated to a very short plaid skirt in high school, complete with dirty bucs tied in the special knots. In college, I wore soffe shorts monogrammed with my sorority letters and the latest fraternity formal shirt complete with reefs to class. When the sun went down, I donned black pants and some variation of a preppy shirt at night and I never forgot my Kate Spade purse. I wore Laundry dresses to formals and Lilly dresses and my great aunt's pearls to rush parties. I sleep on monogrammed sheets and dry off each morning with my monogrammed towels. I love ribbon, shoes with bows, Jimmy Buffett, Costa sunglasses and madras. I own four embossed beach dresses from J. Crew and I just got the latest seersucker bathing suit in the mail from them yesterday. I have a dog name Daisy AND she wears a Vera Bradley collar. I have the entire Vera Bradley luggage collection monogrammed in pink. I'm currently planning a pink and green wedding (my favorite colors) complete with hydrangeas and roses and my new monogram. I will be a preppy girl until the day I die (I just hope they bury me in a preppy outfit and my pearls.)

Wow! Your description fits me pretty well. The only difference is I didn't join a sorority (mostly because I transfered my sophomore year).

Hahah, I thought about doing this too, after reading Chloe's contest. Love the "wearing formal t-shirts", I totally did that to class almost everyday.

I went to college with K. Soffe (just realized she might not want me to list her full name) we never got the hook up on any shorts though...
