One Size Too Small

Hey y'all. So I always knew my old clothes would come in handy. Like most preps, I hold on to clothing until it falls apart. That's the beauty of our style, it's always relevant.

This fall I am loving the oh-so-preppy look of layering a cozy crew neck sweater over bright polos with some khaki shorty-shorts. Top if off with some mocs and you have yourself a perfect preppy look for a true gentleman (regardless of region).

However, I find it aggravating how some polos bunch up under a sweater. Well, low and behold, thank goodness I hung onto so many of my old Brooks polos, because they just so happen to fit PERFECTLY under sweaters. Too small to wear alone, but fabulous for layering. My Brooks polos have held their shape so well over the years. Quality, quality, quality.

I'm just so excited for fall, y'all. I love to layer and I just love sweaters over polos. Hang on to your old clothes, ya never know when they might come in handy. Later, y'all!

Short Temperatures

Hey y'all. Here in Texas, you never what the weather is gonna be like. During the fall months, mornings start off at 65 degrees and by lunch you're sweatin at 88. Layering is big here.

I love wearing shorts. In fact, I've been known to wear shorts deep into December. If it's not snowing, I see nothing wrong with short shorts, an oxford and a light cotton sweater. In a prep's world, we decide the forecast.

However, I am very particular about my shorts. Anything longer than a 6" inseam is too long for my taste. I like my shorts well above the knee like the Andrew short from Polo. Longer shorts just look sloppy to me. However, nothing kills me more than cargo shorts. I just don't get the point. What's goin on in those big pockets? Surely it's nothing I want anything to do with.

Well I'm gonna go starch my oxford for tomorrow. Later y'all!
