Life can be hard for someone who goes to a fairly preppy school, when they aren't preppy. While everyone else is wearing Vineyard Vines and Lilly Pulitzer, you're rocking your over sized sweater from Urban Outfitters and high-waisted jeans from Express. There are no clothes in your closet that have whales or sailboats and no one will ever find you wearing a baseball cap to class. While other people look great in preppy attire, it's just simply not your style. These are just a few of the struggles of attending a preppy school, when you're not preppy.
1. You Didn't Know What Vineyard Vines Was.
When you first came to college, your roommate was a lover of all things Vineyard Vines. She had the hats, the stickers decorating her laptop, and a closet stuffed with t-shirts all embroidered with that little pink whale. When you asked her what Vineyard Vines even was, you received a look of shock and a full description of just how amazing this brand was.
2. You Do Not Own Anything From Lilly Pulitzer.
When the warm weather starts to come around, Lilly Pulitzer becomes the number one choice for sun dresses. While the flowery dresses look great on other girls, you'd rather wear shorts and a crop top.
3. None Of Your Clothes, Jewelry, or Mugs Are Monogrammed.
You didn't realize that putting your initials on so many of your belongings was a style, but hey at least no one can steal your things!
4. You Are Not A Hat Girl.
You seriously envy the girls who can just rock a white Vineyard Vines hat to basically every occasion. One time you tried on your roommate's baseball hat, and you just looked like you were getting ready to play softball.
5. Your Rain Boots Are Not Hunter.
You had no idea that there was a designer for rain boots, before you came to college. Here you were wearing just a basic pair of black rain boots, but apparently there is a style for footwear even when there's a tornado.
6. You Think Jack Rogers Are Uncomfortable
Why are they so heavy? You'd rather opt for a pair of gladiator sandals, so you know your feet are nice and secure no matter what you're doing.
7. Shopping With Your Preppy Friends Is Torture.
While all you want to do is go into Urban Outfitters or Free People, you first have to make sure you stop at J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch. You'll pretend to look at the clothes, but you know there's a flower kimono calling your name in Urban.
8. You Wonder Why So Many Guys Love Wearing Pink and Baby Blue Shorts.
You're all for khakis, but once guys start experimenting with every color in the rainbow, you're out.
9. You'd Rather Spend Your Summer At The Jersey Shore Than On The Cape.
No you do not like spray tans and fist pumping, but you do love the beaches and boardwalks of the Jersey Shore. You may not have ever been sailing on the cape, but you have been boogie boarding down the shore.
