The Preppy Apron

The wearing of the pink and the green is the surest and quickest way to group identification within the Prep set.  There is little room for doubt or confusion when you see these colors together - no one else in his right mind would sport such a chromatically improbably juxtaposition.

Not just any shade of pink and green will do.  Sea-foam green and girl-baby pink would be as unthinkable as a wide tie or Famolare wedges.  No. this is unashamed, outrageous, go-for-broke hot-hot pink and hubba hubba electric wild lime green.

Ok, so I admit to being a preppy at heart.  I went to prep school and everything.

I actually got this gingham to go with another focal print, but foolish me didn't bring said focal to the shop with me and the greens were not even close.  But the gingham did sit very well with this bit in my stash.  And then I thought "preppy".

It does kind of burn your eyes but I think I have to adore it.
