WHAT I WEAR TODAY//ahh i’m late to school!

Fashion
Oct 30, 200893 Comments

Today was 'free dress day' (hah, free?? they make me wear flats!!) at our school-ie: I don't have to wear my uniform. So I felt like I had to wear something a little more out-there than usual for me.

Silver brogues by Yohji Yamamoto, polyester sheer skirt is Comme des Garcons, American Apparel tank top, tux style bib piece from Urabn Outfitters, tie dye jeans from Urban Outitters Gotta run, I'm late! ;-P

    would have looked better with BIG heels… though I definitely love the shoes you wore!
    but positively FAB nonetheless :) we don’t have uniforms at my school, just a Very Very strict dress code, and so generally we all look rather Blah. every once in a while I break out the crazy heels or vintage dresses, but I would never have the thought to wear that!

That CDG skirt is just ethereal! I LOVE it! And as I said in a previous post, absolutely love that UO bib/top. *sigh* Just too gorgeous! Would love to know what everyone at school thought!!! Does anyone else dress-up like you? :)

Growing up in Brazil I didn’t have a preppy uniform a la ‘Gossip Girls’, but wore: Adidas 3-striped navy tracksuit with white tee & sneakers, or in warmer weather the white tee was teamed with a pleated blue skirt…I’m sure yours must be much more stylish than that! :)
