Being Preppy in Spring 2011

Now that its officially March (cant believe it!) breaking out the spring clothes is getting ever closer. Spring is one of the best times to be preppy and its transitions into the ultimate time to be preppy...summer :)

Here's some spring dressing that I love:

Of course I have to start out with Ralph Lauren. His spring collection is a little more rustic this year which i dont know how crazy i am about it, but there are a few pieces i love. In early spring, lightweight cashmere v-necks are perfect

Still for those cool months, start using a cardigan as your outerwear

Once spring is in full swing, break out those nantucket reds

Start throwing in some light pastel colors in your shirts. I like this light purple with a conductor stripe from Vineyard Vines

Boat shoes are a "trend" for this spring, so us prepsters should be set as far as that goes. But im dying to get my hands on these Ferregamo ones....every shoe he makes is amazing. One of my favorites

and putting it altogether.....

a little for the women.....

of course all of you are going to be digging out your favorite Lilly. I like the "optical confusion" print from the 2011 spring collection

Put on some great wedges (and even though you wear them all year round, officially break out your revas if you havent done so already)

via

and make sure you have something coral this spring if you want to be "trendy"....why not make it an accessory?
