Spring: Still Preppy

I'm not a huge fan of the neo-preppy look that's STILL hot right now, but it shows no signs of abating. From New York Magazine:

According to both Ward and Jim Moore, creative director of GQ, the main theme ws "preppy," but with a twist. "Miuccia did polo shirts for Miu Miu—she's never done that before," says Moore. "Marc Jacobs did an ode to Brideshead Revisited for Louis Vuitton. A lot of what we saw were designers taking classes and turning up the volume: They stretched out polo shirts in shocking colors. There were plaids which called to mind Lily Pulitzer and Brooks Brothers, but then they played it in neon."

Ugh. Anyhow -- be ready. These looks aren't horrible, but having grown up in Connecticut and Virginia, I'm personally way over preppy.
