Today's post is about how to dress preppy, and before you ask, yes, there is a difference between preppy and girly. Preppy is more neat and tidy and orderly, while girly is more skinny jeans and cropped tops. First, just so I won't have to explain it later on, the colours. The colour scheme can be any colour you choose, but it always looks best matching, like a bunch of different shades of green, or blue, or pink, or whatever you can think of. Warm colours/cool colours can be a good scheme as well. Grey is great to add to any colour for a good accent without disturbing your perfectly-matching rule.
The main type of shirt for the average preppy girl is a polo. You can have the buttons done up, with an optional tie, or have them undone (you can still have the tie here, just make it looser). Other options include a light coloured blouse. If the sleeves are long put a sweater or sweater vest over it, and if they're short you can still use the sweater vest, or a plain black vest with a tie. Bottoms should be pleated skirts (with or without stockings) or boot cut jeans with no rips or wrinkles.
For accessories, never use too much jewelery. A couple of pretty loose bracelets can go well with a simple charm or locket necklace and one or two simple rings. Use a book bag or over-the-shoulder purse for the typical preppy look. Belts aren't recommended for this style, but headbands really are. Shoes shouldn't show toe: use plain flats or pumps, or strappy closed-toed shoes.
Hair should be up in a high ponytail or braid, or a bun, or down and straightened with a middle part. For makeup try some light pinkish blush and eyeshadow, and light pink lip gloss. Use black eyeliner only on the inside of your bottom lid, and rely on mascara to even out your eyelids.
