Back to School, Back to School, To Prove To Daddy I'm No Fool

Classes are in session, and it's time to think about lookin' fab- scholastically fab, that is.

What To Wear In A Classroom Setting
  1. Glasses.  Some people would say wear them whether you need them or not.  I would say wear them if you really really like them.  And keep them to a classic frame.  Tortoiseshell and black make for the loveliest frames, but you can jazz them up any way you like.
  2. Pants.  Dark Ages no longer, girls are allowed to wear 'slacks', so take advantage!  But make sure you keep your pants nicely pressed and hemmed- torn-up old hems and holes in your knees should be reserved for one pair of jeans only.
  3. Skirts.  Since, however, we're still ladies, it's more than appropriate to wear a skirt.  Kilts if they're required, denim if you picked the right one, and high-waisted almost always.  Choose a skirt that shows off the right part of you.  Try not to go for the floor-sweeping variety, save this for the ballroom.
  4. Tights.  With the winter season upon us, one could almost wear tights everyday, skirt or not.  Chunky tights are great for the winter term, but don't forget to make the switch to a lighter variety or come May you'll be sweating in your desk!
  5. Shoes.  Really anything but heels.  Well, super-dooper high heels that is.
  6. Accessories.  It's always wise to accessorize, but don't pile on the pearls like it's your job.  Keep it simple, keep it elegant, keep it ladylike.
  7. Coats.  Wear a good coat.  One should never arrive to school in popsicle-form.  Do, however, keep it a little stylish with a lovely high collar and sleek buttons.
Have fun getting dressed girls.  That's the point.

  1. Yesterday in class I was also told that an important fashion accessory I MUST have is a measuring tape.
