Prep School Pieces

December 5, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love a good plaid, and by pairing it with leather shorts and suspenders this has easily become one of my favorite outfits. We shot these photos at Harvard to highlight the allusion to prep school uniforms.

As you can see, I’m holding a copy of the latest issue of Atlas Magazine! It will be available to the public after our launch party on December 14th.

    You’re so chic! So pretty…and you have such a great sense of style. Love your smile!
    Love your legs in the tights and leather shorts…… …You match perfectly… And those suspenders….perfect…..everything you wear…… Adorable, as you are!
    Perfect balance. And your hair is over the top lovely……… I’ve always worn my hair almost as long myself…….
    I grew up in tights, being in ballet for 13 years. In fact, mom raised me rather androgynously, so I also wore tights under big sweaters and hip length tunics and such around the house growing up. Your lovely look reminds me of all those days….epsecially when the delivery man would come and I’d meet him at the door and he’s refer to me as Miss……
    Oh, by the way, I’m a guy…and I love fashion as much as I love dance.
    I’m traveling in Europe this fall,
    It looks like you have the same affinity for tights as I have…..

    I’ve been raving to my new friends about how much I love the tights/shorts look, so they encouraged me to try it myself…
    and I have in a big way,….. denim cutoffs, high waisted shorts, even a romper…….
    I will following your blog religiously….. thanks for sharing your lovely taste and your beauty

      Thank you so much for sharing your story and for your kind words, Jayme. I’m so glad someone with your obvious knowledge of fashion is a fan of my blog!

        Thanks………
        I will indeed follow you……
        HOpefully someday I will be able to wear the same “fashionable” outfits in America that I’ve been able to this past fall in Europe……
