F21 silk blouse and shorts, Calvin Klein sheer hosiery, Steve Madden boots, F21 necklace
As I was assembling this outfit for a night on the town, it occurred to me that I used to wear something quite similar back in elementary school. 5th grade to be exact. Black tights underneath denim shorts, shirt tucked in, with black boots. Well the boots I wore in 1992 weren't over-the-knee with stilleto heels, but same concept.
I know fashion tends to recycle, but it never really occurred to me that something I actually used to wear would arise again so soon. Pretty amusing!
On a related note, I went out [clubbing] with 2 of my aunts that night - aged 39 and 41. A week or so earlier, they had seen me in my "boyfriend jeans" and they pointed out that they used to wear the exact same thing in college. I noted that they should wear them again, but this time, with 4in+ platforms.
um hai sexxxxxy.
love this outfit and can't believe that blouse is F21. it's perfect.
you were a damn stylish 5th grader.

March 16, 2009 at 9:26 PMin 5th grade, i was wearing my school uniform which consisted of green plaid culots, and unflattering white button down. And the culots were what made my day.
i hate myself.
