If you want to know what preps are, read "The Preppy Handbook." It goes along with the idea of the elite, rich, new england, prep school children, and was printed in the 80's. It includes excerpts about etiquette, fashion, preperatory schools, Lacoste, etc... I personally have a copy.

I'd like to believe I've coined the term "neoprep." Because that's what I'd label what these people call preps these days. Neoprepism is about clothing, period. It has nothing to do anything negative, behaviors etc...

Just because I wear a certain type of clothing, it does not mean anyone should judge me based on this. True I have money to spend on these clothes, but they are simple, last so long, and are flattering to my figure.

Just call a bitch a bitch; a dumbie and dumbie, and a slut a slut.

What has stayed common between old school and new school preppy:
Vera Bradley, Coach, Gucci, Lacoste, ribbon belts, sports involvement (though oldschool preps had more variety)

What is different:

Abercombie is now back in business, there is more of a use of jeans and flipflops, the clothing is less classic&conservative, It's now more about style and less about preporatory schools and country clubs.
Oldschool prep: "Muffy, come along Mummy is taking us to the country club. Get on your Lilly Pulitzer sundress and bring your tennis raquett. I hope you've finished you're school work."

Neoprep: "I'm going to get a few pairs of jeans from Hollister, they fit me so well and last so long! *thinks:I wish people would stop being so judgemental an assume things about me.*"

Dumbass talking about a neoprep: "Look she is wearing abercrombie *points* she must be a popular, dumb slut who will hate us scenesters."

New_Prep 

Since the 80s, the preppy fashion has gone through many changes, and this is the newest fashions for preppies:

1) They still wear polos that are slim fitted and trimmed to their waist.

2) Name brand clothing is still a must. Ralph Lauren, L.L. Bean, Barneys New York is still popular, but to the retro preppies. These days, we wear clothes from Hollister Co., Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Aeropostale, etc.

3) Mini skirts and hoop skirts are definately the height of popularity for spring/summer wear for prep girls. If so, we also add a ribbon belt (mainly pink), or a bottle cap belt.

4) We almost NEVER where cashmere sweaters over our necks anymore. If you do see one, then they're probably a fashionable geek, or a retro prep.

5)Scarves for girls are definately big in winter fashion.

6) Bell-bottoms, destroyed jeans, or acid wash is still popular today! Though you mostly them in fall/winter wear, preppies still wear the custom made jeans.

7) Nike shox are probably the #1 shoe for preppy fashion these days. Girls will also commonly wear flip flops in ANY season.

8) Hair ribbons are still popular today! You can see them mostly on brunette preppies, though. (well, I do)

9) Leg warmers are definately popular also. They usually go with flip flops and are commonly worn with skirts.
Btw, we aren't sluts.
Jennifer looked over at Celicia's fashionable pink hoop skirt and white Aeropostale tee with a nice powder blue hair ribbon neatly tied. She could also see her white flip flops underneath her leg warmers.

Sleepy juice 

Either liquid niquil or any liquid drink with melatonin, Ashwaganda or other sleeping aids in a liquid form. If warm tea helps you get to sleep that could be sleepy juice too.
I could not sleep so I chugged some sleepy juice and now I'm so tired and sleepy.
