Dear Preppy Girl,
I have always been considered a prep and decided to embrace my preppy title. I love sparkle, always have, always will. Is it still within the preppy guidelines to wear something like a pair of sparkly gold ballet flats with my otherwise extremely preppy outfit? Do you consider Vera Bradley a preppy brand for school bags? I am also wondering if you consider cheerleading a preppy activity, because I recently joined the squad at my high school!
Love,
Sparkle and Cheer
Dear Sparkle and Cheer,
I hate to admit it, but I love sparkles too. I practically live in sparkly silver flip-flops all summer. Gold ballet flats sound divine, especially for the holidays. Just be sure to play down your accessories. Don’t wear any over the top jewelry or a super shiny handbag along with it. I would pair sparkly flats with a fabulous leather clutch in a bright magenta, aqua, or lime hue, something to draw your attention upward. Vera Bradley, on the other hand, I would save for a non-sparkle day. Vera Bradley makes great totes for school, I especially love the East-West Tote.
By the way, congratulations on joining your high school cheerleading squad! School spirit, whether on the field or off, is always preppy and a great way to make new friends.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
-P.G.
Love those shoes!
