Ok, I’ll admit it: I’m a prep at heart! Throw me a blazer and cable knit in any combination, and I’ll start to swoon.
While ‘prep’ usually conjures up images of dorky girls in knee socks, modern takes on preppy staples, like plaid, are adding an air of cool to tradition:
Kat de Luna and Eva Pigford rock plaid in colorful dresses topped off with pretty pumps or ankle boots…
Rihanna and Rachel Roy pump up the volume in all plaid coats…
…adding belts to create hourglass silhouettes.
Chanteuse Christina Milian offers just a dash of plaid in a yellow cap…
And Kimora (and kids) go super traditional and super cute in Burberry….
Even men get in on the action….
…in blazers, caps, and simple shirts.

*Keyshia Cole showed up to 106th & Park yesterday in this get up:
We love Keyshia, but do we love this look?
*I started salivating when I saw this $670 pair of Alessandro Dell’Acqua Suede Bondage Stiletto’s on shopbop.com
Would you rock these?
