Ask Fashion Girl

Dear Dee:

Never fear, you don't have to leave your new prep wardrobe hanging in the closet to stay punk. Mix and match your preppy items with your punk items for the latest look -- really!"Punk prep"is actually kind of a big trend. Add Doc Martens shoes or boots, a studded belt, leather bracelets, and a faux hawk 'do to preppy style to pull the look together. Or pair a ripped rock tee with a preppy skirt or pants and ballet flats. Think about adding a man's necktie to an open-collared, tailored button-down shirt. It's all about mixing it up. It's not a true prep look and not a true punk look, but something very stylish and individual!

Sincerely, Fashion Girl
