Elbow Patches

I have never been one to dress "preppy".  I can proudly say that I have never worn a polo (willingly) and I usually am not drawn towards plaid, but elbow patches are another story.  There is something intellectual and professorial about them.  They seem to give off the same effect as wearing glasses. I recently picked up this sweater at Zara and I love it. The cream colored knit and camel colored suede elbow patches have been the perfect combination for fall in California.
