I wore this. Kinda going for a Royal Tenenbaums vibe, half-Margot and half-their house. And I really am happy to be in Antwerp, even if I don't look it. The sulking expression is half-Margot and half-glaring at my dad and telling him how to press a camera button through gritted teeth. Did you know that form of speaking makes you look creepy in all countries?
Miu Miu collar from the Miu Miu store in NY. Tom Ford lipstick (the shade is "ginger fawn." I'm obsessed. Mine was a gift from a friend so I can't say I'd spend $85 on a tube of lipstick otherwise, but I'm happy to have it. Prefer it to the lipsticks from Chanel and Armani for sure.)
(I swear I don't talk like that in real life.)
Random house-found barrettes (I chose red to correspond with my hair and lipstick, making a full spectrum of different kinds of reds. The yellow is for the collar. Plus I like the idea of wearing a naked lady collar with a barrette with a teddy bear on it.) Hand-me-down dress.
Teacup baroque vintage heels from Beacon's Closet in NY.
I have never been a bag person, and have never really found myself particularly lusting after one, but thanks to the generous ladies at Sonia Rykiel, I'll never need to. I'll also never need a sleeping bag or any friends, because I just want to shrink and sleep in this and hug it all the time. We'll share our feelings at these shrinking and hugging sleepovers, and it'll go like this:
Me: Do you ever get the feeling that it's all a lie?
Bag: ...
Me: Oh, Bag, that is so like you! Pass the popcorn!

I was in Antwerp too! It is easy to get lost there. I love your outfit and the food looks delicious!

I wish I could see pictures of your parents, the makers of that half sulk/half glare, expression carrier. Aside from that I love the outfit and the post.
gosh that food looks amazing! strawberrys are my ultimate favourite, weather in a desert or mixed in with cereal!

Ha! gym credits! why are you better than any blogger could ever be!
Your title made me giggle. Because my little brother knocked on my door about five minutes ago and asked me "what's your middle name." And then I closed the door and he said "It's Evan! I know it is!"
and he's wrong.
Sorry, that was so off topic.
Cute purse and hair clips! :)
Check out my blog: Principessa Gabriella
Great outfit especially loving your Miu Miu collar!

Love your outfit x
Beautiful Outfit!
and
yummy belgian waffles!!
XOXO
OH my, I can't believe you're in Antwerp! How long are you staying here? Are you here for Stephen Jones at MoMu? You should definitely go to the Kloosterstraat (Belchique, Ra13, awesome little street full of antique shops), the Nationalestraat (where the MoMu is (and check out copyright, the book store next to the momu :))) and all the little streets around the Lombardenvest (Step by step, the Acne shop...) and vintage stores like Jutka&Riska (Nationalestraat) and Episode (Steenhouwersvest - another awesome street)!
I'm getting way too excited here, right. Wish I could lurk around town hoping to bump into you, but I'm stuck inside studying Greek literature for my exam wednesday.
Have fun, I've been living here for 18 years and I still love it.

such a cute outfit!

Absolutely love it. All of it is so awesome. I always love your outfit posts.
It's great to know I'm not the only one who talks to my bag.
Oh I didn't know you wre in my country ;-) I hope you enjoy Antwerp... If you have tine go to Verso store... It's quite nice.

Love your post, and your blog. Come visit mine sometime:

I overall just loved this post.
Those waffles look so good. I think your gym teacher may have to acknowledge that, however many calories were in the waffles, the process of moving them to your mouth and the work required of your jaw to chew them definitely evened things out. Second of all. I love Royal Tenenbaums. So naturally I think your outfit is awesome and captures exactly what you were going for. Finally, the part with the bag just made me burst out laughing haha. I am in a much better mood after reading this so thank you for that.
Sweet bag, classic dress, good use of the collar and funky shoes!
I like it. It's very simple compared to your usual.
You should try eating healthier haha :p (Not really don't worry about it)
Aw man you are hilerious! And so beautiful, your outfit inspires me greatly, Tavi you are sublime xx
I'm enthralled by those heels.
Great shoes! I need a pair of those.

It's amazing how you can have such intimate convos with your bag, I'm so jealous. ^_^
I love The Royal Tenenbaums, and Margot it's my favourite LOL
My english is sucks (i'm from brazil) but I always reading your blog. I really like it.
I'm getting more and more interesting by fashion,and I learning a lot with you. Thank you!
bye bye
THOSE WAFFLES. I think I'll have to start making/eating breakfast again.
I love your dress and bag and shoes. And you're funny. As always.
haha tavi you really make me laugh
the bag does look pretty soft though
^_^
xx
did you go to WALTER yet? Love.
Oh my gosh! I have the red plastic hair bow in pink! that exact thing! that's so cool!
sophie
I am obsessed with you blog. Officially.
Haha.
I love the royal tenenbaums. You have succesfully embodied margot. Only some heavy black eyeliner and a cigarette could make it any more margot (not that i suggest cigarettes) but, congrats!
hah. Well fantastic post anyway. I love the outfit, and want a yellow miu miu collar with naked ladies on it too.

Yes, you rock the collar in Antwerp!
http://www.riotgrrrltheory.net/
Lovely hair clips, should also get the Royal Tenenbaums thing going!
--Nolita Vintage--
Oh, Tavi, you're so obliquitous... Pass the waffles!
P.S How's that play coming along, Margot?
that is such a bag thing to say!
you look totz adorbz, in a legit, surly, margot kind of way. i especially dig those bendy heels. THEY LOOK BROKEN BUT DEY RN'T! WHAAAAT!?
i hope you're enjoying the trip and aren't being a(n) twerp.
ZING!

www.redrosemanhattan.blogspot.com
haha i love the way you write! :)
And adorable outfit!
Tenebaums. UGH. Who doesn't feel like channelling Margot once in a while?
I think every girl needs a bag like this - no more bitching and lonely feelings necessary anymore! (Oh, I know the feeling when you're trying to direct others to take the pictures you've got in your head. DIFFICULT, to say the least). I bet Antwerp is wonderful, and not only for the waffles.
Can not believe you are visiting Belgium. Do you plan to stay a bit longer and visit Brussel...there is still a lot to try & explore here:)
Just let me know if you need a guide or tips about what or where :)...and enjoy your time in Belgium.
xoxo
love your bag so much! Great look! <3

oh tavi the joy of the silent bag and the margot glare and the "do you ever get the feeling it's all a lie". every day darling. every day. i hope brussels treats you and your dad well.
Oh my, i just had everyone in my class look at me like i was i raging lunatic because i basically screamed with joy when i read that last bag-part! Toooo good
Hi ! I discovered your blog by a friend, and I really enjoy it ! It's fun, happy and very communicative !

I like that bag and the waffles look so yummy!
Why in america people use so many slangs...it's hard to understand you even after 9 years of learning english, anyway I love the bag and the food lokks really nice.
Oh, and I have a question to you what's your tall?
You can anwser at my blog.
Greeting Alix from Poland :)
You are awesome. That is all.
1. That waffle looks delish!
2. Funky lip color! I'd like to try it out. :)
3. I totally had a clip like that yellow bear one. My mom used to buy sets of those for me when I was younger. It brought back memories.
4.Cool shoe!
5. Sonia Rykiel!! I wanted her Chamois flats from a year or two ago!
Enjoy Antwerp Tavi!!
I went to Antwerp for three days last weekend! It's a beautiful and interesting city, isn't it? It must be amazing to see so much of the world at such a young age.
The naked lady/teddy bear -contrast is a really nice detail!
Enjoy your time in Antwerp!
How I love your outfit! The barrettes are the perfect perfect touch. Also, this Christmas, I am going to leave artisanal ginger cookies along with fresh raw milk and homemade brownies for Santa if he'll give me a Sonia Rykiel bag.
Oh, cool! Would you be going to Brusssels? I live there. I mean it would be amazing to see you for real :)
Breakfast food should always be easy as pie! I adore your outfit and your sullen expression. Have fun!
Your hair is fantastic :)
I life in the Netherlands but like near to Antwerp. You really really have to go to Episode, i think it would be very you.
http://fashion-fantasies.blogspot.com/
The lipstick, the heels, the dress, the you... I love them all so, so much!
Should not have been drinking tea while reading a post from Tavi, the dialogue or should I say monologue with the bag = hilarious! Belgium looks as cloudy & grey as Ireland is at the moment, but I'm sure you'll have lots of fun any way!
Welcome in Belgium, dear. :)

That Tom Ford lipstick shade is to die for! I might need to put back some cash. Then again, if I spend $85 on lipstick it better last me a lifetime.
I love the comment "half Margot, half their house"... that actually made me laugh.
And I totally get the "staring angrily to try and force the camera-operator to just hurry up and press the goddamn button" look. It happens in 2 out of 3 of my pictures.
Love that dress. Esp with the Miu Miu collar.
Don't worry, we eat it by hand sometimes ;)
It's really horrible to eat with a fork!
I love your look, also I think I put on about 10lb just seeing those waffles YUM! xoxo
hmmm, in Antwerp - Kleinblatt for sublime handmade, Viennese Kosher bakery experience.
This post is bursting with wonder!

how is it that your so interesting and SO cool
Royal Tenenbaums is one of my absolute favourite movies. and i do see the vibe ;)
i LOVE the outfit
and you make me crave strawberries so bad right now.. and waffles. yums the word
wish you a wonderful week. xxxxxxxx
I just adore your fashion sense. I wish I dressed as awesome as you do when I was your age. :|
The dress and the shoes are so wonderful, I really have to start vintage shopping. Have to!

what a cool little outfit! liking the collar~
LOVING the look. Including the expression. With those little window thingies in the background.
And those shoes are more than slightly incredible.
santa claus only exists for those who've been chosen to experience "him". for the rest of us, santa is a myth and only reality exists.
comments like that are annoying. just thank the people at sonia and stop being so pretentious.
that's are really nice heels Tavi!, so chic, elegant, just period! like La Boheme :)

greetings! :)
You look positively smashing! In other news, conversations and travels with Bag could be a new column for you.
Ohh, well-made waffles are one of life's greatest pleasures. The crisp and golden crunch with the soft and subtly sweet inside. Mix in the fresh, homemade, whipped cream and the fresher strawberries... I'm already missing my brunch from yesterday.
interesting heel on the shoe from Beacon's Closet; I would figure if anything else they'd be very stable.
I've been eating Fruit Rollups since about 1990, though I haven't had plastic hair barrettes like yours since around that time. I miss them so.

Great post! Waffles look beautiful! And I love the Tom Ford lippy, job well done again :)

Wow Belgian waffles. Heavenly~~~
And I get that expression every time my dad takes my photos too! It's probably the ubiquitous daughter-to-father look.
Re: title, no I don't. Sorry. :(
I had no idea you were going to Antwerp! I live in Belgium,Ghent, not to far from Antwerp!
haha just follow the meir, it's one straight line ( : but I have to admit I lost my way one time there too!
You're so freakin' hilarious!
Dear Tavi Gevinson. You have enlightened me with the tv show "Freaks and Geeks". I don't quite know how to thank you. seriously best show of all time!!!
Btw I love your blog and your style and I think you are a real inspiration to lots of girls around the world.

hello,
tavi, your blog is very perfect.
I'm from brazil..
here in brazil your blog is much known .
vite my blog..
myteenagerstyle.blogspot.com
but is in portuguesh...
How rude of you to post that photo of the waffles! Now I'm terribly hungry and have no means of getting to Antwerp before class starts tomorrow.... ):
also, the inspiration of this outfit is expressed wonderfully. I love the collar...and I used to have those barettes. Oh, the '90s!
Love the shoes :) and the dress...and the bag! Classic with a twist. I thought I was the only teenager under 15 to have seen The Royal Tenenbaums, haha.
BTW, have you seen the article in The New York Times (today) about seating at Fashion Week? I don't remember who was quoted but someone was quoted as saying something along the lines of "They sat that strange little 13 year old girl who looks like 97 in front." I wonder what your reaction to this would be? It is a front page article in case you're wondering. They also mention you and Bryan Boy a few times.
I love the whole outfit!! especially the whole vintage feeling. It gives up a innocent, but I mean business kind of tone. I love your blog as well ♥

Catching up on your blog since a friend spotted you at fashion week NYC.
Great outfit in this one, but even more entertaining to me was the reference to Royal and Margo parallel to you spending time with your dad.
loves it.
