"[Bostonians on Martha's Vineyard] had their own tribal colors. The jackets were mostly navy blazers, and the ties were mostly striped ties or ties with little jacquard emblems on them, but the pants had a go-to-hell air: check & plaids of the loudest possible sort, madras plaids, yellow-on-orange windowpane checks, crazy-quilted plaids, giant houndstooth checks, or else they were a solid airmail red or taxi yellow or some other implausible go-to-hell color. They finished that off with loafers & white crew socks or no socks at all. The pants were their note of Haitian abandon at the same time the jackets & ties showed they had not forgotten for a moment where the power came from."

As I've
mentioned before I have a secret desire (at times) to be a prep. Husband has a fabulous GQ style and my best friend is the poster child for Banana Republic, but me? I'm more of a dinosaur tshirt and a cardigan type of girl. However, when I see things like these *to-die-for* bowties that
Social Primer just released
for Brooks Brothers, I can't help but have a little prep lust.
I will take one of each for Husband :D
