A LAST LOOK

SThe MonograM N DTrend nitials, just three I smple letters, have made a comeback from the 80’s. Visitors cannot walk down a single hallway without spotting a monogram printed on - well, you name it. Tote bags, cell phone cases, bracelets, and headbands all have been decorated with bright colors and curly fonts. Junior Maggie McLiney (right) even has a monogrammed bumper sticker. McLiney works at The Monogram Shop in Overland Park, and she owns quite a collection of monogrammed items herself, including a laptop, rainboots, pillows, and earrings.

Sophomores Maggie Keenan and Lilly Schaffer review together before school. Keenan owns six monogrammed headbands, which she bought at The Monogram Shop’s Sion Night in February.
