You have a masters in prep given your upbringing! Growing up in Baltimore, I was indoctrinated in prep at a young age as well — and The Preppy Handbook solidified my love for the lifestyle (and will be featured in early chapters of my fashion essay collection, in development).

I think prep’s evolution over the decades has been remarkable and I love that it’s still a go-to classic for me. xx

Congratulations on your developing your fashion essay collection! I look forward to reading it!

I have lots of friends from the Baltimore and Maryland / mid-Atlantic area, and I love exploring all the regional nuances in preppy style - where they came from and what they mean. Definitely a nautical twist to the style there, in my opinion!

Thanks for your comment!

LOVE this. I recently wrote a post on Seven Sisters style and that version of prep—I deeply love your essay and how you view prep (the same way I do.)
