Red Ribbons
I've been really inspired by the school-boy blazer trend going on recently and plaid skirts. I thought about combining them and the result is the top half of me belonging at a boy's prep school and the bottom half belonging at an all girl's Catholic school. Oh and yellow shoes. Mostly because those are just wonderful. And they compliment the red so well. I also had fun with ribbons.
I am beginning to think that I am a glutton for punishment. I'm going to audition for our school musical, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, which will now be referred to as AFTHOTWTTF (good graces! even the acronym is long!!) or AFTH. Apparently the common sense half of my brain has stopped working because I'm already drowning in work and responsibilities and now I'm adding more to the mix. But, I miss acting and singing and theatre in general, so I'm going to go for it. Auditions are on Monday. I'm going to cry.
Blazer - Dad's; White Turtleneck - Mom's; Plaid Skirt - Swap; Belt - Mom's; Yellow Mary Jane Pumps - Target; Over-the-knee Socks - Target; Tights - Target; Bow - Walmart* (I added a safety pin); Hair bow - Target

Now I'm just sitting here and waiting for my pretty, velvety, ebay coat to come. And later today I have piano lessons. I can't believe I'm going to attempt to play The Firebird for recital. I told you I'm a glutton for punishment.
Until tomorrow avocadlings!

it seems like you can wear those yellow shoes with anything!
and i love the whole belts-around-cardigans-and-all-things-too-big trend of right now... it's so much fun to find excuses to wear all my strangely-procured belts.
And dont worry about AFTH auditions! The worst that can happen is that you don't get in, and then im sure you can work stage and stuff. just relax. top

Also, thanks so much for the comment on my blog :)
Your style is lovely, by the way.

This is amazing.
I love how you put all the pieces together without looking foolish or lolita, and you have the most amazing hair. The pop of yellow really makes it, you are adorable!
All the best! top
