Several blogging friends have played this game so after finding an appropriate photo I decided to join in with a Preppy Flashback!
This picture was taken of mother (I am pretty certain father took it, don't you think?) when she and father moved to Germany upon their graduation and wedding. Father went to West Point and they were stationed there for several years. Mother took her preppy ways across the Atlantic and sported the classics with pride!"I am wearing a JG Hook Shetland crew with a whale, a Scottish tartan (not sure of the plaid, maybe dress McKenzie), wool argyle knee-hi's, Weejun penny loafers and a monogrammed Talbots wide whale corduroy Bermuda bag. I am standing in front of our Fiat X-19 in West Germany @ 1980!!!"

Beautiful!
Too cute!
Love this photo...I'm pretty sure I had the same skirt! Love that look!
That ensemble would work just as well today as it did in 1980! As a matter of fact I wish I saw more of this than I do the tight spandex, too-tight jeans, etc. etc.
Classic! Thanks for sharing!
You look just like her! So sweet.
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.
This is a great picture. I see where you get your preppy style from! :)
Preppy style obviously runs in the family! Totally timeless.
Lovely! I think that's the Dress Gordon tartan.
OMGosh! I know this outfit perfectly. Don't know if you saw my post on 10/9 of my honeymoon 26 years ago but I think your mom and I may have been separated at birth. It was the 'way we were.' :) xoxo
I see who you look like! GREAT pic
OMG! She could not be any more fabulously preppy! Love it!!!

That is so cute! You look so much like her!
That purse is uber-classic.
I love it, looks just like my mom down to the Bermuda purse.
What a great photo! It takes me back to my Vassar days when I had a really similar outfit, but I had a monogramed navy Talbot's sweater instead. Whatever happened to Bermuda bags - just loved having a bag to match every outfit!
Wow, beautiful - there is quite the family resemblance. I think I could find a similar pic of myself in the 80's.
Awesome post Hopsy! Looks a lot like you standing there! I just love old photos!!!
I love the outfit!
Classic! You're as preppy and lovely as your Mother!
she is darling and you are the spitting-image of your mother :)
kHm
She is a beauty!
That looks just like an outfit I would have worn in Junior High. Classic, tailored, timeless and preppy. Thanks for posting it.
At first I thought it was you - you really look like your mom!
Talk about a flashback!!!! That could be me!! We sure had alot of style in the 80's. My "going away outfit" was JG Hook!! Navy sweater, camel skirt and camel bermunda bag!
Your adorable mother! I just think this is too cute. I can say with almost certainty that I had an outfit quite similar to that one--I still have the Weejuns in the closet, although the penny has been removed. Now, back when your moms photo was taken, GSG was just a wee little thing, but I sported a hand bag like this although scaled down for little hands. It was monogramed, of course!
The apple didn't fall far from the tree! haha! You and your mother are equally adorable!
Your mother looks so much like you in that picture! Her hair is almost the same style as yours in the picture of you to the right of the post. Was she about your age in that picture?
Your mother's outfit (down to the JG Hook brand) is very similar to the one I was wearing in the vintage prep picture I posted a few weeks back. Mine was taken in 1981.
Thanks for sharing!
She looks great & is the stinkin' cutest thing ever!
I had that same sweater!!!
I was a freshman in high school and had outfits just like that. Love it that you could find this of your mum...whatever happened to JG Hook ?
Ok that is ADORABLE... Wow she looked then so much like you look now!
Hey sweets. Looks like we have a little situation in common. Shoot me an email at clemsongirlandthecoach (at) yahoo.com
:) smooch
Oh my goodness, I cannot get over how alike the two of you look! How much fun. Love her outfit, perfectly timeless!
So cute! I love it!
OMG! She looks adorable!!!!!!!!!
you look EXACTLY like your mother!
Oh my goodness! I love this photo....what a great outfit!!!
Let's get Lilly to bring back some of these great looks! And yes, I do think the plaid is dress Gordon. Did Helen mention that I gave her the skirt & she had it shortened to wear at Taft? Timeless is right! Helen's Mother
Totally adorable. What a photo to treasure!
I may or may not still have a skirt like that!! Darling picture. You look exactly like your mom ;-) xoxo
Love the look!!
You too look so much alike!
She looks great!! I LOVE this photo!
I absolutely love that look! The skirt looks a lot like my school uniform skirts.
I see where you get your good looks! Your mom is too precious in her preppy ensemble. Thanks for sharing.
way too cute! you look so much like your mom...which in this case is a very good thing! =)
I think I had that exact same sweater, monogram and all. Your Mother is so cute.
Prep indeed runs in the family! I thought that was surely YOU in the picture...wow.
Ooooh I loved JG Hook. I had a ton of their stuff. Please post more pics of your mom...she's great.
:)
Oh that is Gordon plaid...I have dishes in that pattern...it's one of my favorites...
And I just noticed the monogram on the cuff of her shirt!
I love it!!!! You look JUST like your mother!!!!!
I love this pic. I had that exact sweater. When I was in school me and each of my friends had our own "thing" and no one else was aloud to wear it. Whales were my thing and this was my favorite sweater. Thank you for sharing.
I HAD that sweater!!!
I do believe I have that same outfit. How funny
I swear my mom had the same outfit...not the same car but the same outfit. At the time, she wore her hair in a loose fitting bun & occasionally had horn rimmed glasses! Such prepsters!!
