High Waisted hits High School



When we approached this gal for a picture she was practicing her routine for the fashion battle, which is happening in two days. Everyone come down to Blair on Friday (starts at 7:30 I think) to watch Fierce Mentality crush Watkins Mill and Magruder. It's gonna be hot. I know so because I came down to watch a fashion club practice for the feature story I wrote about them. These people know their shit.

Candy Man Sam


How did he get the money to buy that suit? By dealing... CANDY!!!!!?

Factory Girl

Any of this girl's outfits could stand alone any day, but she was eating a banana, and how perfect was that?

Dramatic Irony


Nice tourist shirt, but don't you live here?... Haha, I don't know what made him do this, he usually wears simple clothes, but he showed up this day pretty chill in his tye-dye, awesome watch and audible-from-across-the-classroom-headphones.

Gold All Over

I love it when people are naturally drawn to colors that compliment their skin tones.

The Minimalist

Fierce Mentality

This girl just always pieces together great outfits, and they're always so different.

Bowtie Boy


I like to think that adding a bow tie to your normal clothes makes you instantly more formal. (Except I prefer the bolo tie.)

Cheetaaaah


I'd like to see every fabric on this girl's body in cheetah print. (Actually I might do that. It would be cool to have different color print for each article of clothing.)

Vogue Day


For "Vogue day" (spirit week) at my school everyone wore black and white and kept quite conservative. I like how J added in bold colors and wasn't afraid to put on some accessories.

Flower Girl




Outfits at school these days always look so mechanical and businesslike. I wish more people wore things with a natural flow, inspired by nature. (You're in high school not your parent's office.) This is what drew me to this girl with the fitted top and crazy flower explosion of a skirt. Props!

Let's just put this out there.

*clears throat*

UGGS
PJ PANTS
SWEATPANTS
TRACKSUITS
NORTH FACES

You are charged each with multiple counts of fugliness, laziness, and disturbing my eyes.
Ladies and gay men of the jury, this is a case about lazy dressing. A case about the offending garments' contribution to an era of sloppiness and disregard for polish. After a particularly harsh winter of triple whammy combinations of north faces, sweatpants, and uggs, it has come to light that not only have these offending garments been corrupting teenage style, they have been erasing it altogether.
What was once a vibrant world of color and endearing bad choices (neon! cut-outs) is now a wasteland of mindless adherence to the offending garments, which in addition to being uncreative are plain ugly. This reliance has created a teenage style sloppier than grunge and fuglier than shoulder pads.

The prosecution presents exhibit A:


(The prosecution spent like 20 minutes drawing this, don't make fun of it)

Observe, how the unfortunate creature dressed in three of the offending garments looks messy, unattractive and frightened (perhaps she saw her reflection?). But then, observe as the soul sucking offending clothes are shed and she becomes a fabulous creature of style!

Ladies, think back to the couture days of old, when one did not go out in public without a pair of crisp white gloves. Think back to the days when men wore three piece suits downtown and shiny shoes. We know this era is gone, and new, revolutionary things have come. The offending garments are not part of this new era of style. They are heinous objects of reliance for a new generation, and may well remain so unless consequences are incurred now. Ladies, I refer to the death penalty.

I find the offending garments guilty, guilty, guilty!
