Oh and here's an outfit from last week because I know you don't want to hear me be all Canadian weather ranty, but unless your weather changes more than um ______ (insert something clever that changes. I actually thought about this but NOTHING came up.) than HAH. I win. Um, so where were we now? Ah, yes. Outfit from awhile back. It was one of those dress down days at school, so score for no uniform!
Dress down days are funny days. Because even though people don't have to wear a uniform, it appears that there's this underlying high school student uniform of leggings/ skinny jeans/ tees/ scarfs/ uggs/ slouchy boots/ simple flats etc, etc, that's been adopted by everyone. But the funny thing is, I don't mind it that much. It used to drive me insane, but it's kind of fun to look all SHBAM in a sea of conformity.
High school, and I guess life in general, is a funny place. There's so much conformity that it drives me insane. But it's so much easier to follow than to lead, is it not? And by "lead," I mean, go against the grain?
I don't know, I used to be all "blah blah blah I'm up on my high horse, you little high school people, because I know what I want and I have dreams and morals and heart and blah blah" (wow, I was an internally annoying grade niner (because we don't so freshman here (though I think it sounds better in this given sentence))) but I think that if you have time to learn from other people, everyone really IS very different. It's just harder for people to express they're differences. Because sometimes being different = being alone and GOD FORBID IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Anyways, not to imply that I'm a super weirdo or loner or anything, just some high school thoughts I've noticed. And, ultimately, I'm ecstatic to leave in a year or so...

How did you guys like / how are you guys enjoying high school?
(By the way, I realize I sound like some super antsy, drama queen teen but, um, I guess I can use the excuse of "mwaha but I'm onlyyyy in high school" *insert squeaky voice and whine and annoying text message to friend of omggggfml*)
Don't worry, I love my life, I really do. But sometimes it's just frustrating to want to do things, but you feel restrictions because of school, and like, other things, like, you know, yeahhh...
:)
(I needed to add a happy face because MAN I feel like a whiny teenager and that is simply unfortunate. I'm naaawwwwwwwtttt, guyyyyyss.)

love your opinion on high school, we share the same views.
and this outfit is so adorable as always :) keep up the colourful life!
Okay, wow what a relevant post, as I shall be graduating highschool in ~2 months! AND THIS IS THE TIME TO REFLECT BACK.
Kay, my first year was TERRIBLE.
Hands down the worst year of my life.
I was a socially awkward, SUPER quiet individual who wasn't adjusting well to the change. I only had this one friend from elementary school who became a horrible one to me in the eighth grade. I also (still) wore weird clothes that none of the other American-Eagle-conformists could comprehend.
Then, in grade 9, I had the chance to start fresh because a new school was built nearby and a whole bunch of people left for that school and more new people came to ours. This was an okay year, I met some people, but it was mostly by the end of the year.
In grade 10, gradually my circle of friends was being established and I had a a lot of fun that year--and that summer.
In grade 11, OMGHOLYFREAKINGSHITTSICLES!!! IT WAS THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!
I found out who my "real" friends were lol and we became known as The Clan. I was still socially awkward but no longer quiet. Actually, it's weird, that year, my personality took a 180 degree turn, LIKE WOW.
IT WAS AMAZING!!!
This year, I have the most self-confidence I've ever had and now I'm known by my peers AND teachers, etc. for my "different" sense of style. I swear to you, everyone in my school wears hoodies, sweats, jeans, etc. etc. so I most definitely "stick" out. And I'm actually GLAD everyone dresses the same because I LOVE to be the center of attention. Lol, conceited it seems, but true. The only thing I didn't like about grade 12 were the academics = HELL. But my friends = LOVES OF MY LIFE.
Although I'm sad to graduate I'm also ready for university next year--AHHH!
AND excited for all the grad stuff. :D
OKAY WOW, THAT WAS WORDY. But thanks for asking this Q, it was nice to reminisce.
++cute outfit durrrrrh!
im glad im leaving in a couple of months
:3 great photo and scenery :3
Cuuuuutteee outfit! <3 I love it. I have a shirt-dress very similar. :3
I hear ya about the weather. Yesterday, Alberta just went APESHIT and I couldn't leave my house. :( Canada is awesome, minus the climate. Grr.
I feel the same way about high school. Ugh. God forbid someone have their own opinions and sense of style! :O I'm glad I'm graduating in 2 months. Uni, here I come!! (Hot new boys, here I come!!)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, really made me smile. In fact I'd have to agree with you about our fashion sense, I love your brave fashion sense and thats something I try to create in my own outfits. I just scrolled through some of your older posts and I am definetely going to follow you because I find you a great fashion inspiration for me. fancy tights have got to be my favourite thing in fashion :)

Cute photos!! And this colorful outfit is beyond fabulous. I especially adore your shoes.
And high school...I enjoyed half of it and hated the other half. But I only choose to remember the good half. ;)
HAHA I hate high school! Well most of the time. I agree with your views on it, but I've managed to find a group of friends that are WAY different from the rest of the school so I don't go insane :]
Your mosaic-like shirt is lovely! x
DUDE, you are like the queen of color. I do not kid.
love what you got there. the layering, the color. ALL are perfect! =))

Love your outfit, and your rant :) There were a TON of people I hated in high school, but also a ton of people I loved and will love forever. But college is so much better :)
I has been a while since I left high school. ;)) I miss that time. I love the way you layered things!

wow! i love the mix of colors and patterns very cool!
I was in an independent study program for high school, so I didn't actually physically attend. I stayed home and taught myself. I was already freelancing when I was in high school, and that program gave me the flexibility I needed to complete work projects, and school simultaneously.
Ohmigosh I love the color in your ensemble!! :)
You're so sweet darling, thank you so much for your comment.
you look gorgeous with this color outfit! I like so much your blue thighs!
Amazing pictures!

Aaah - things that happen in High School become utterly insignificant as soon as you leave. I wish I was brave enough to stand out like you do when I was your age. I'm just learning now that you don't HAVE to wear jeans every day - style is about taking risks and you do that, and pull them off!
I love all the colourful clothes you wear. So fabulous!
I agree, the weather in Canada is so weird! But gorgeous day today, eh? All sunny, and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny too. :)
I'm rather indifferent about high school. I just see it as being there, nothing really special. I mean, I did make some really awesome friends, but there were so many stupid cheesy teenager moments. Blah! University is much better. BUt life without going through high school would be weird.
you know what's ironic? i was one of the popular kids but also felt out of place at the same time...i was just too different from the other kids..and it was only good that they did not attempt to understand me.
but over time, i learned that everyone is different...and while i'm blessed with the ability to express my mind (and feelings), others have their own way of expressing themselves too...sometimes, not in the way i can understand (and i'm sure it's how they feel about me)...
i'm just thankful that i have friends and family who love and accept me for who i am..

I love this blue fuchsia pink outfit ! The colors are all bright, but you just managed to mix and match em beautifully without looking like a clown !
The shoes add a nice final touch for the look. I love the smidge of patterns :)
wah really love your colourful shirt and shoes. you rockk! i need to put more colourfit outfits these days ahaha
xoxo
always love your outfit:)
yeah i hate school.actually i go to school just for meet my friends.but tomorrow is my last day in senior high school.i think i'll miss my day in school.hhhaaa:)
looove the colours in your outfit! I still have to wear school uniform, which sucks, and my school is really strict on the clothes we wear-i'm not even allowed to wear hairbands if they are not school colours! but i do anyway, because i am a rebel like that ;)
great post :)
xx
Love your outfit, and all the colors! And I loved high school - one of the best times of my life :) Although, it's now in college where I don't have time to do anything lol
Thank you for your sweet comment. I really appreciate it <3
What a cute, colorful outfit! :)
I like school most of the time, but
I feel the same way you do too. I feel really restricted while in school.....
Gorgeous, colourful pictures! I feel EXACTLY the same way you do about school!
Merci beaucoup for stopping by darling =]
Stay safe and chic ma chérie,

I really loved high school. and not like, those people that complain all the way through and then a few years after they leave realise it actually wasn't that bad, I even loved it at the time.
and I always found no-uniform days funny because you're right, everyone would look the same anyway! people were terrified of looking like they'd made too much effort.
i love the layering!the colors are so cool!
love the bangles too
i love the pictures! THE WILDERNESS ROCKS!
I hate school, fortunately for me i only have one year left in that prison, i mean, wonderful place and then its FREEDOM!
Ahaha, you make me laugh. I love being the leader, however, I have no idea where I am leading my peers or whether I really want to, can't everyone just be like me so I don't have to lead at all?
