Last night I tried a little fashion experiment: I dressed for the place (Cape Cod).Buoyed by all the pinks and greens and soft reds, seeing how pretty they looked in the light of the Cape, I went native for a jaunt to Buffy’s.
Here’s what I wore (and please note that I’ve owned all items for a couple of years; nothing was purchased to be an “outfit”):
Peppermint green Lacoste polo (collar flat!). Mine is much greener than this—it closely approximates the Bonanno sandals below. Seriously, if you're going to match, you'd better match, right?!
J Crew stone shorts (of Chatham Bars Inn fame). No need to show these . . .
Bonanno Palm Beach sandals in pomme with creamy white whipstitching,
and my own individual touch—ENORMOUS Kate Spade tortoise sunglasses.

Hmmmm. My preppy name: "Ingram Mead Kittredge the Sixth
ReplyDeleteBut most people know you as Buffy." I'll take Buffy, but I've also been known to answer to Debo which is also fine as I would share that moniker with the very elegant Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, Deborah Freeman-Mitford. If I could attain half the style she possesses I'd be satisfied!
I feel sure I'm a "Muffy."
ReplyDeleteLOL. Mine is Kitty which I love! MEOW... I think preppy, esp. when worn by blondes, is a fabulous ironic look. It doesn't work for me (I don't have the WASPyness required) but I love to see it done well, in its element.
ReplyDeleteI love those sandles. They give me such a strong feeling of summer holidays; which I need 'cause I live in Dublin.

Buffy. Short for Elizabuff.
ReplyDeleteI've had several Lacoste shirts in my time. This look is a great old standard. I love it.
Why you look so "waspy" bzzzz/
