recessionista 5

finally, the last recessionista shots!

not sure how i'd feel personally about wearing these things myself, but they sure look interesting.

the wide-legged pants i love. i went through a phase of loving baggy pants in about 8th grade, then decided then i hated them, and have now returned to a respect for trousers that aren't skinny.


the orange leggings here are a bit baggy. unusual. note the common theme of flag scarves.

sweatshirt and combats

here is tinny, photographed by lionfro (and here's their supergorgeous, very silly blog), wearing what i believe to be lionfro's green combats and a crazy sweatshirt. the look is comfy and zany. plus, tinny models!

recessionista 4

more recessionista show shots.

this line was inspired by sixties girl groups: classy, sexy, super-coordinated.

cowboy flannel

here i am, wearing my favorite cowboy boots and one of my favorite dresses with a secondhand cardigan over it. the dress is made from reworked flannel shirts and was a steal on sale at urban outfitters...they had about 10 different other colors of the dress there and i wish i had picked up a bunch of them!

recessionista 3

here are a few more looks from recessionista.

i would put this on myself in an instant:


this next one got a huge positive reaction out of me and my friends. it is purple velvet and is just so rich-looking.

inaugural ball

here's a good old picture: this is me at my school's party for obama's inauguration. the purse is a
treasured little marc jacobs thing i got from my cousin a few years ago. the belt is vintage.

recessionista 2

this dress was sheer craze. the colors are a bit wild together but the whole effect was incredibly rich-looking.


wish i had clearer pictures than these!

pink rainy day

dressed for a rainy day, from february or maybe early march:

two pairs of tights to brave the cold, of course.


here are my earrings...they are little wolves. every female science teacher i've ever had wore things like this. good stuff.

recessionista

the student fashion show this term was called recessionista. i've been involved with most of the shows since i've been at university so it was nice to just watch. i got front-row tickets. here's the view of attendees from my seat:


i went with glynis. my shirt is my mom's from a while ago. glynis is wearing beads that my friend got in bhutan.

the best look in the world

i am back from an excellent spring break! i was camping, so there wasn't much going on in terms of style beyond not showering and wearing the same clothes the whole time...but just in time for april fool's day, check out the best look in the world.
