Denise, thank you! Preppy is quite popular where I live, but is tied to certain walks of life, or their wannabe's. Some of my students refer to preppy as "the beige people". I've always liked a little preppy, but I feel that this style is so closely tied to the original prep's lifestyle that one should be a little careful of not overdoing it. A very conservative style is not for me, at all. It gets stuffy really fast, particularly when you're not young anymore.
Stephabee, thanks! I will definitely try to replace the shirt and shoes with something else. I own very little pink, but orange, green and nude comes to mind as possible colors to try, too.
