The initials are definitely fading out up here...now you're seeing them on high school girls and moms, meaning the trend is over. :p As for monograms, that really isn't big in Wisconsin except with the country club set.

I still see a few people wearing the initials. (Mostly on clothing, not accessories so much) It's fading down here thank goodness....I never really got into it. Hopefully the spring trends will be much better than this!
