Preppy ( checkered, lines and dots )

Saturday afternoon when was at my grand moms place, I've decided to clean and organize my closet, just to have some free space for other stuffs .
While sorting things, I encountered a lot of old clothes. And its just pretty amazing to scan, try-on old clothes, recombining them to create new pairings and redesigning or customizing them to unleash creativity.
Just one of the crazy thoughts though.

2 clothes catch my attention when I’m fitting them in front of the mirror. A checkered green polo shirt, and a black polka-dotted pajama.

These are clothes from my childhood days, the checkered green polo shirt was given to me by my grand mom when I was at my primary school and the black polka dotted pajama was my mom’s pajamas. She lend it to me when I had my vacation for Christmas. As usual Christmas season is cold and I need some warmers.
After seeing those clothes an idea popped out and it teases my silly mind, A PREPPY LOOK entry!

I got up, have a piece of paper got a pencil and I sketched out the look and I also added some stuffs to reinvent the look. I tried some touch ups on the clothes and its just so amazing how did things blend in…
So here’s the look….

* Top *

A checkered green based polo shirt with some accent of reds and pinks.
The colors are not dull in the eyes and the checkered design gives the edge on it.

Checkered designed tops had invaded the fashion clothing trend almost every season, but it’s a retro design which made it still "in" the fashion trend till this year.

I love checkered designed tops especially on polo shirt because it’s not plain, it’s a print but not that much emboss in the eyes. It’s one of the coolest pattern to wear.

I tucked up the sleeves as usual to make an edge on the cut of the top. And tucked it in at my pants to give a curve on my top since this top has no curve angle on the sides. And with this kind of top, it will make a straight body shape, which is not really a "BAM" one.




* PANTS *

This is just a P-jamies but I made some enhancements to make look like a pants.
This polka dotted p-js' is a flexible one, aside from its color but also with its prints.

It’s a retro design, really suitable for my Preppy theme.

Prints on Prints, it’s not that tough to pair prints as long as you know how to match and to balance things. Well this pants paired with this top is nether ugly nor best.

I folded the feet hole of the pajama to give a leeway between the pants and the socks which also to give enhancement on my legs.
Hihihi!




* ACCESSORIES *

Tie This tie has a pink and black checkered design to match with the outfit and I chose pink to match with the accent color of my top.
Belt I chose this red belt just to give a kick on my look not to make things dull since most of my colors were a bit near.

I twirl the edge just to have a different pattern on my look.
Eye wear A black framed eyewear to give a match on the color of my watch and my bag.







Well There’s my preppy look, looks fine and some of my friends appreciated my angst on trying this look. Pretty good for me huh?


THANKS!
