So...the dreaded first week of school has passed, and it was just as bad as I thought it would be. Homework galore, boring classes, vapid people with poor fashion sense.
The dreaded leggings+miniskirt combo has been popping up here and there like a nasty lurking pimple...while abercrombie/hollister/tna hoodies rule once again. A few of the girls have taken on skinny jeans, but bootcut still prevails.
By the way, I didn't end up wearing any of the outfits I had planned, since the first day of school turned out to be super hot.
School is super stinky, and I can't look forward to summer again.
P.S Favourite 'upcoming trend' of spring/summer 07? PASTELLY PALE COLOURS!!!!! YAY! No more gold lamé leggings à la American Outfitters, please!

Like Spinning Plates
Huzzah! First-day-back-to-school outfit possibilities!
I've finally figured out how to use photoshop to delete the unpleasant background of my messy room from these pictures. All my limbs are actually intact; I am just very bad at photoshop.
Option 1: If it's really cold, I'll wear this. Basically, it's tank top, sweater, and vest with jeans. Kind of safe, but warm.
Option 2: This seems a little bit too matchy matchy/ dressy. I love my tights though, and I love that sweater. (Inspired by MJ!)
Option 3: I LOVE this sweater. And the tights, of course.
Option 4: Trying too hard
I found this sweater dress in my mom's closet. I love it but I hate the feeling of feeling overdressed. If I wear this to school, I will feel overdressed.

Talks in maths...
In a mere week, I shall be back at youth prison school. Oh, how I miss the early morning zombie marching, the white-faced fear of English class, the inescapable feeling of doom while writing a physics test...
I guess the only thing that would make youknowwhat less painful is dressing up for the first day back. The first day is always a dilemma, because you want to show off all your new purchases, but you don't want to seem like you're trying too hard. So, while I sit here and ponder my outfit, I also thought up some easy outfits for all of my 2 readers. (I love you guys!)
Option 1 (trying not to try too hard): Jeans+quirky tshirt+funky necklace+flats
(picture from facehunter)
Option 2 (still trying not to try too hard): Skirt+tank+cardigan+flats+crazy jewellery
(picture from facehunter)
Option 3: Sweatsuit (if you must...) + extra nice hair and jewellery
Option 4: (conformity) Jeans+tshirt+hoodie+shoes
AE: conforming teens since grade school
I suspect that at my school, 20% would be option 1, 10% option 2, 10% option 3, 50% option 4, and 10% option z.
I hope to be in the option z category. As soon as I figure out my outfit, I'll post it. Promise.
P.S. Hopefully nobody will show up in Option Yuck: Leggings+Denim miniskirt+polka-dot top+headband+long pendanty necklace+flats
This girl is gorgeous and slender, but imagine how much better she would look if she weren't wearing those darned leggings!!!!!!

Sit down, Stand up
I can't believe I've turned into "one of those girls" who thinks about her grad dress 8 months ahead of time. I'm not even looking forward to grad that much; I don't like dances, I don't like cheesy speeches, I don't like large social gatherings. But I DO like dresses!
I want to wear something feminine, but not prom-like. Nothing pastelly, poofy, or glittery. Definitely no tiara or tacky rhinestone necklace. For example:
NOT:
Grad dress rundown!
1) Anthropologie
I love Anthropologie for everything, but unfortunately I am poor and cheap and credit card-less.
:(
2) Vera Wang
This is her bridesmaid dress collection. I have no idea where to buy these?
Sorry for the bad image quality. I had to take screenshots and compile them in Paint. You can see them in greater detail here.
For shoes, I DON'T like strappy, glittery, or high.
NOT:
I'd prefer wearing pumps even though they don't go with most evening dresses. Oh well. I can wear them again and they'd be much more comfortable than a strappy sandal shoe.
From Urban Outfitters:
From Anthropologie:
3) Bag
I'd really love to find a great vintage clutch.
When grad does come along finally, I'll be sure to post pictures and commentary!

Fake Plastic Love
A Ballet flat is an excellent shoe
I'll wear them regardless of mood
But I am getting sad
'Cause mine are going bad
What am I going to do?
I've had a pair of trustly old black ballet flats for 2 years now. I bought them for $25 at Payless (and at the time I thought that was a FORTUNE for shoes, being the cheapster that I am). Wearing them pretty much every day, they're dying. They're scuffed, scraped, torn, and misshapen. But I can't seem to find a replacement. (Though I saw a gorgeous pair of quilted black ones at Le Chateau today...) So, I'm 'Windows shopping' (haha...get it? Shopping online? With MS Windows?? HAHA) until I have the money and motivation to go back to the mall.
Let's start with some more affordable options. From payless are these plasticy looking red ones. Not sure if I like the bow that much, but cheap all the same.
These are from zappos. Very 'basic boring black ballet' and $99 US.
I really like these satin-tie ones from Urban Outfitters, who always have beautiful, uniquely shaped shoes that are out of my price range. $33 US
Now for some overpriced shoes to drool over.
From Derek Lam...the perfect patent peep toes. I saw similar ones at The Bay from Nine West for $125 CAN.
And finally...I saved the best for last...these adorable mouse flats from Marc Jacobs. Drool.
