Preppy Pastels.






















Pastels have graced the delicate bodies of many a collegiate kid. Pink cardigans, pale blue button downs and sparkling white trousers have embodied the east coast preparatory spirit since Amory Blaine first grazed the lawn of Princeton. Plaids, scarves, lavender shorts, Sperry top-siders and saddle shoes, lay elegantly aligned for the spring semester. Vampire weekend is the modern image of this style, evoking memories of marble dormitories and midnight cafes. As you can see their style incorporates poppy stripes and soft plaids, vibrant cardigans and starched button downs. Finely dressed. I got my own Pastel pink cardigan and contrasting polka-dot tank to honor these boys. I picked up the festive shades for a quarter at my thrift shop!
