it was my bible in 1983... i'm not sure i did such a great job of interpretation... but for a Michigan girl i think i did pretty good with the resources i had...
one of my brothers found this picture when we were all home for my grandmother's service... it's a classic from a trip we took across the country in 1983...
I've gotten a lot of mileage out of this picture on facebook in the last 2 weeks... so naturally i figured it was worth a spot on the blog...
#1 question is what are you standing next to? it's a dinosaur bone... we were at dinosaur national park in UT...
I would love to get my hands the preppy handbook today... but my parents have long since let theirs go... at least i have this picture... and the laughs i got from this far out weigh the missing book...

That's a great picture! Never heard of the preppy handbook, but I don't think you can preppy me!
Not only did I ache to be able to wear a sweater knotted "just so" over my shoulders, I swooned with jealousy when my sisters got it just right....
I was a little too young to pull off most of what the book talked about, but I viewed the preppy College guide as my bible when I was hunting for the right university. I remember reading it like a novel, it was so funny and clever! Thanks for kicking up the memories.
I so rocked the TopSider shoes in the 80's too, tragic!
Love the loafers and the sweatshirt over the shoulders :) You rocked the look!!
I was wondering what you were posing with! HA!
And I so need to find a copy of that book...
LOL!
the loafers look like bowling shoes :)
Hey I was at that park in the 80's also! I loved it.
Now I have never heard of the Preppy Book.
I was considered Preppy Punk in high school
