Dear me I am begging you to not go to your friend's NYE party dressed as John Darnielle in the Mountain Goats' "This Year" music video. Your friend's low-key, sober NYE party she invited her work friends from the vet's office to. Do not show up to that with fake blood on your temple please my darling. Just show up with some games and water chestnut dip.

Preppy
Cultivating Ivy Style
Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle
Foreword by Lilly Pulitzer
Rizzoli, New York 2011, 170 pages, 22,5 x 28,8 cm, ISBN 9780847836611
euro 120,00
The authoritative fashion history of the roots, growth, and offshoots of the quintessentially American preppy style. Preppy offers the first definitive and in-depth volume on preppy fashion, exploring its evolution from its pragmatic origins and presence on elite Eastern campuses in America to its profound influence internationally and metamorphosis on the runway. For the first time, the preppy story is told completely and beautifully with iconic and never-before-published archival and editorial photographs and personal snapshots from the original Ivy elites.
Exploring all facets of men’s and women’s preppy fashion, this vibrant volume is replete with photographs and vintage ads illustrating the iconic elements of prep: from Oxford shirts, khakis, and Shetland sweaters to Peter Pan collars, madras pants, and Lilly Pulitzer tropical blooms. Authors Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle also examine the fashion designers who played a major role in shaping the preppy look, from retail pioneers J.Press and Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren, who single-handedly marketed not just a look but a lifestyle. Also featured: a band of young twenty-first century Ivy stylists and fashion labels worldwide, who have infused preppy with high-octane design on and off the runway. Preppy is a stunning tribute to an American phenomenon.

I’m pretty sure that my sense of style is just me subconsciously trying to dress like a Professor Layton character
