Are you a Muffy or a Hopsy?

As a Princeton alumna, a former Sotheby's girl, and someone who's "glimpsed" behind the green door of Lilly Pulitzer, you could say that I'm a Prep partly by osmosis but also by choice. Growing up I took all my fashion and lifestyle cues from Jackie O., though I also continually question my aesthetic identity (living in NYC's East Village helps spur my creative dabbling).

AT ANY RATE...

• I believe in monogrammed totes and stationery.
• I believe in pearls.
• I believe in bows, particularly on headbands and ballet flats.
• I believe in popped collars.
  

UNFORTUNATELY, I despise most things which are hot pink or feature palm trees (too clichéd), and I think monogrammed koozies and tumblers may be the end of civilization.

BUT!!! Preps have fun. And just to prove it, here's a tongue-in-cheek game for you to play:

The Official Preppy Handbook offers "Corky" as my nickname, but I'll take BOOTSY anyday!
