Monograms Poll
Do you like monogrammed stuff? Like totes, keychains, scarves, wallets, etc? Or is that not your style?
Obviously I'm below the Mason-Dixon line, but the girls on this campus have monogrammed EVERYTHING. Kindle covers, backpacks, you name it. Some of it is super cute, but I think that whole trend just passed me by entirely. I don't have a single thing with my monogram!
Re: Monograms Poll
My SIL however, even has a freaking trash can with their initials all over it.
LOVE. I don't think of it as a 'trend' though - it's kind of always been the 'preppy' thing to do. I have one of these, not pink, w/ my monogram that I use as a beach bag:
I wear a gold monogrammed necklace everyday. One of my favorite dresses of Jane's was this:
and if I had an iPhone I would totally get one of those monogrammed phone cases you see on Pinterest. I've looked and they never have my (random) Android models. Sad.
ETA: The more I think about it - we have so much stuff, lol. We have napkins with a "C", we were gifted burp clothes that say "Jane", etc. I never really thought about it but yea, I guess maybe I should live in the South?
We do have a 31 gifts big tote that says our last name-forgot about that! Planning on using it as an extra diaper bag for the nursery at church, etc.
And I got a few xmas towels on clearance last year with our last initial on it-they are super cute.
I don't think I've ever had something with my monogram on it. Even for our wedding.
I have had a few things with my name on it, mostly stationary or sweatshirts from sports, but that's about it.
My Blog
I love monograms. I'm with naylon, I think it's classic preppy for the most part.
I just got some pillows from Pottery Barn for our bed that are monogrammed with our married monogram and I love them. I feel like it's a nice personal touch.
Pretty much everything in Natalie's big girl room is monogrammed or personalized... her euro sham, duvet, toy box, and I'll be hanging her initials on her wall.
That said, I don't really have anything I take outside of the home that is monogrammed, although I would purchase something of that nature.
Honestly, I've never thought much about monogrammed stuff. So, I have no opinion on it.
My SILs have a lot of monogrammed stuff (Southern Gals and very preppy). It's NMS, but they seem to pull it off.
