A bulletin was sent out and it specified that girls will, from the new year, rock brown knee-high leather boots, and frilly flowered floaty Laura Ashley-ish skirts over black tights. (Not at the same time.)
I would like to know where to sign up to get these memos. I'm not saying that I will adhere to the strict guidelines therein, but I think I'd like some advance notice.I think these will be finished about tomorrow, especially the skirt thing. Reminds me of 7th grade. But then so do scrunchies. If only it were pegged pants and neon.

I've noticed the same thing. But the girls here don't wear leggings. They just wear the short skirt and boots with knee-high stockings.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how that keeps a person warm in the cold temperatures that we're experiencing?
Don't even get me started! I am a fan of the short skirt, but I shouldn't be able to see 1. your hoo-ha or 2. your goosebumps!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the brown leather jacket! It's a 3 piece thing. Leather boots, a floral skirt and a leather jacket. I can't walk to the station without seeing at least 5 girls in this get-up.
ReplyDeletePoppy, you're right, I have seen some of those jackets floating around too.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at fashion and appreciate how many people take care to put something together that is visually interesting, but the slavishness of fickle trend following puts me off.
I'll be watching closely tomorrow. Although snow days are possibly a different kind of fashion day...
ReplyDeleteFreezing-ass temperatures don't seem to be a deterrent in any way to short skirt wearing. Chapped ass is the new black.
ReplyDeletei love boots, frilly flowered floaty dresses, black tights, AND leather jackets, but somehow i really hate this trend. it looks pre-packaged and cheap. like most overblown trends do, i guess. last year's high-waisted floral skirt with a cheap black belt and a white top? barf!
ReplyDelete"chapped ass - the new black" too funny!!
ReplyDeleteBarf is right. I'm not 100% anti flowered clothing, but I think the flowers need to be used judiciously. Ditto hearts. Scratch that; no hearts for me.
