Playing dress-up: Prep school style

The new challenge for the Bloggers Do it Better series is the All-American look of menswear-prep. When I found out it was going to be about prep school style I was absolutely clueless! First off, my husband's neckties are way too colorful and none of them matched anything I had. So I knew it was going to be difficult.

I worked around the necktie that I thought would be the easiest to dress with. So I came up with this. Problem is it's 85F outside. There was no way I could have done my errands in a sweater with an additional two layers underneath it. I participated anyway for the fun of it. I'm definitely doing this outfit in the Fall.
