As usual, I have my little neck tie to dress up the boring old button down.
I'm wearing a Banana Republic shirt, random bubble skirt, Hue flower patterned tights, and my lovely mary jane spats a la Prada Spring 2008.
ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD my blogging "big sister" from VitaMINNstyle was inspired by one of my outfits and wore this super cute schoolgirl outfit! I'm so honored! Best big sis evr!

London Fashion Week
Runway Recap
LFW is living up to some high expectations!
Bora Aksu
Ultra innocent flower prints and feminine sheer materials mixed together with tough leather jackets, boots, and shredded and torn up dresses and stockings. It would be hard to pull off one extreme or the other, but when girly girl meets goth rebel in one outfit, I think it's totally wearable.
Qasimi
All the gold armour fit for a Joan of Arc. The gold collar bolero is my favorite, it looks like she's ready to go fight! Not to downplay the incredible designs, it reminds me of Givenchy Fall 2009 Couture.
Osman
Loved the all white collection! Even though the designs were minimalistic and uniform in color throughout, I really appreciated the clean structure and geometry to it all. Osman's use of gold panels and blocks made the clothes look goddess like, but with a very urban, modern twist.
P.S. I want these shoes from Osman Spring 2010!!!

p.s. i love this outfit! blair waldorf = <3!! i wore an outfit kind of like this (big bow, preppy shirt, tights + skirt) yesterday for my presentation, and when i saw this post, i was like "fashion twin!" haha.
also, is that just a tie that you tied into a bow around your neck? or did it come with the shirt? i really like the way that looks!
