In the Pink

The students have been back less than a week, but I can already tell you what the fashion-concious preppy is wearing this season: pastels. Boys' shirts are white, carnation pink, powder blue, mint green, lemon yellow, lavender, or peach. Gone are bold colors. (That's so last year...) Ties, as always, range from conservative to ugly. (One kid must've raided the back of his dad's closet. I swear I haven't seen a tie like that since the 80's.)
