Oh, HIIII there. Now that life is a little less bothersome, why don't we get back into the groove? Fall is my favorite season, and it's when I'm most inspired.
My mom thrifted this shirt for my dad but I stole it, hand-me-down Gap sweater, and desertose brooches.
These glasses were sent to me by Thakoon and are super Enid Coleslaw.
Brand: Thakoon
Pros: Comfort and the subtley of the logo on the side, but the best thing is the versatility, which makes me want to make them my prescription pair. They're somewhere between black and brown and round and square, so they kind of become whatever color or shape looks best with the outfit.
Cons: The insides are snakeskin-printed which makes these such a niche thing. I know no one else sees it but it makes me feel like such a Funky Aunt when I put them on or take them off.
FAVORITE EVER, THESE HAPPY SOCKS. Clashed because I couldn't pick just one pair. I was torn between these thrifted orthopedic grandma shoes and my white Pierre Hardy for Gap ones, and while the Gap ones would've been way cooler these are SO comfortable and I like dressing frumpily and I couldn't have lugged that math book around in heels.

its nice for you to be back. i somehow missed your little posts and the way they break up my h-dub infused days.
although i guess it meant i was less distracted....
I dig so much how that shirt has so much potential to be "embarrassing uncle" but becomes "sassy teen" on you.
PS That song was like the all-time theme of my 11th-14th years.
I have that Gap sweater! And I remember that math book. You look great.
you are too cute... ;)

I was waiting for a new post for so long!
Your posts always make my day.
>:D
THIS IS WICKEDNESS
the mismatched socks make me want to go out and buy one red sock and one blue sock.
from marc jacobs.
if only he made socks.

That Arthur clip brings back so many memories!
But I LOVE funky aunts!!
my sister used to sing that song. it's stuck in my head now. haha
Love the library comment!
ARTHUR.
ARTHUR!!!
Also the SOCKS! Where are they from?
you're so sweet <3

I’ve never commented before but decided to because this outfit is newly my favorite. I can totally see the inspiration in what you chose. It's a sly nod to mathematics, but instead of being outright nerdy it's endearing and playful.
I wish I could have found math class to be this fun when I was in school.
Cheers, Tavi! I love your blog and love seeing how our thinking has evolved from Day 1 of Style Rookie.
Love. Love. Love it all. :)
Hi :)
Very cuteeeeee*
Love the cardigan..and colors!!

I really like this outfit on you!
www.FashionSnag.com
LOVE this outfit!
..and the Arthur reference! <3
Funny fact about me that your socks reminded me of...
The summer before my Freshman year of high school I read an article in a teeny bop magazine saying stuff about how you should find a way to stand out in high school. Make yourself known for something like being the girl who collects something or the girl thats in a rock band. Stand out! Be an individual with your own funky style.
Well I decided I wanted to be "that girl with the cool socks"
seriously.
So I went shopping with my mom and we bought all the wacky socks I could find and I remember thinking, this is it. This is my key to popularity and utter coolness.
Nobody really noticed my socks.
xox
I am SO GLAD you put that Arthur video on your post. That was always one of my most favorite musical numbers from Arthur! It made my day.
This is a great post as always!
http://thefreakoffashion.blogspot.com
New post, yay! Cute outfit, Tavi.
That Arthur video made me laugh. It sure does bring back memories.
Algebra 1 was my favorite math class, but I couldn't do algebra2. I don't know why. Trig is kind of fun, though. Kind of. It's the only part I got 100% for on my math test.
Oh dear, Tavi. I had the exact same algebra/trig textbook, and I graduated from high school 15 years ago. Good old suburban Chicago schools...
I'm in love with this outfit. And the Arthur reference. Not that I'm 16 and still watch the show. Nope. But I was terrified of the jeckyll jeckyll hyde Brain segment when I was younger. I also really like the glasses. My favorite prescription pair were prada with a really subtle logo that I loved, but they got stepped on and when I went to get new ones, all the new pairs had the huge full round logo that I just can't handle on clothing or accessories. Sigh.
1. I loved that Arthur flashback. In the future, my kid is gunna watch so much Arthur. He's legit.
2. I love this outfit. It seems perfect for school. The shoes were a good choice. And the different prints mix very well. You look great in that ponytail too :)
We missed you Tavi, good to have you back!
I love Thakoon, I had know idea that we also produced eyewear though. Pretty cool..I know he will be one of the up and coming designers to keep an eye out for.
Check out my blog!
http://www.iamaltamoda.com/
I think Max Headroom designed that Algebra textbook.
I LOVE THIS. I don't really have anything else to add. Delighted to see a new post! I am sure you are busy. I hardly ever post during school. Far too time consuming given the amount of work/sports etc...
Ha! I totally had that textbook when I was in high school. I thought you were a freshman? You must be in advanced math!
Especially love love the socks!
I had that EXACT math book when I was in some middle/early high school class. It was old then, and that was probably almost ten years ago.
Those socks make me happy too!
We missed you, Tavi. :)
mau.
Perfect sock choice.
::slow clap:: Way to rock Arthur! Everyones favourite aardvark. I used to love Arthur...(who are we kidding, I still do.) I am a huge fan of Brain's song, "Jekyll/Hyde". Heh.
I am sorry that you are taking algebra, although I'm sure it's easy for you. I find math deplorable when it is anything except geometry. A Math book is something I could never pull inspiration from in any form. However, an English book might do the trick!
Keep pushing and shoving through those halls.
Hi Tavi! :-))
So much to like in this post – where shall I start? The maths book, is my answer! It’s a shame I was never really able to ‘answer’ any of the questions in a maths book, but I have to agree with you that the cover is pretty special!
I’m not familiar with this Arthur program – I wonder whether it was ever shown in Australia? Any way, I’ve really enjoyed the videos of it that you’ve been putting up lately! It seems to be a lot of fun, so I can see why ‘the kids’ would be into it, but then I can see quite a bit of educational value in it too (kind of buried within the content, like those strips of carrot that you try to pass off to kids as ‘orange spaghetti’).
Your outfit! Awesome! You’ve really controlled the colours well. And the strong sense of geometry (through texture and pattern) is off-set by the relaxed nature of your dress and cardigan. The socks pulled up, with the sensible shoes (that I really like and own many similar pairs) help pull it all together, with the very cute brooches finishing it all off.
I think you look great in those super Enid Coleslaw glasses, and would certainly recommend that you make them prescription!
Thanks for the great post, and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying school this year :-)
nice inspirations (: I love fall too, and love your outfit ♥:D
Hahahaha loving the wittiness of your writing style
I'm painting right now and had to stop to read Tavi once again
johanakafie.wordpress.com
Love it !
New reader here ~ love your narrative and personal style. You remind me of me when I was your age, minus the enthusiasm for the fashion world. Yup. My love for your blog is a narcissistic love.
Freaks and Geeks is love. I'm fortunate to see Linda ("Lindsay Weir") semi-regularly throughout the year.
Awesome work as usual, Tavi.
Arthur is THE greatest tv show in existence.
Also, those socks are incredible.
love the army printed dress
http://s0fashionablylate.blogspot.com/
I might be totally shameless and steal your intentionally-clashing-socks thing. Because most days, I'm too lazy to match socks anyway.
Looks awesome, in any case :)
I love your style, Little Miss Lovely. And that 'L' in Algebra is just fantastic.
Oh my gos, YES! Jeckyll jeckyll, hyde, jekyll hyde-hyde jecklle. jckyl, jeckyl, hyde, jeckly hyde!
I sing this all the time with my sister!
Lovely outfit, i adore waffle knit.
I hope you know that you're the coolest funky orthapedic aunt grandma in town. you inspire me, greatly.
I adore your vision!))
Yeah I hit play on the Arthur I miss being young....haha.
I love how you know where you get your inspiration from when dressing!
your hair ! so cute...
The sicks rock!
--Nolita Vintage--

Wahey! The inspiration behind this is so creative and those socks are fantabulous. It made me laugh, but with you not at you!

Yup, it was sure was shown in Australia! I grew up with that TV show. In fact, the theme song still gets stuck in my head from time to time... "And I say, HEY! What a wonderful day to day!"
But Tav, your outfit is wonderful, and the shirt surely looks way better on you than it would on your dad. <3
Ten points for gram shoes!
Tavi !! I m in luvvv with all ur looks !! I check ur blog like every single day ! I missed u !! :D Happy blogging !
Luv,

Living in the UK means that we were always in school uniform. If we were allowed our own clothes however, this is definitely the kind of thing I would've worn (though I wouldn't have looked so cool)!
My school uniform was the only school with pink gingham blouses with navy blue skirts and jumpers, so at least I could feel unique in that sense :)
I luv it, it's kitch and fun !

i missed reading your posts! i just read and reread the marios schwab post and all the other old ones until this one came.
i love that arthur song. my mom and i used to sing along to it until i was twelve. i still love the dr. jekyll/hyde part the most.
i love the entire outfit. how DO you do it day after day?
Hello socks! They are awesome! I can see why you couldn't decide xxx

Tavi~not really loving the shoes!
Everything else is b*tchin!

I love the models on the first photos - fabulously thin (thin like myself, just so much taller).
I'm glad that colourful socks are fashionable. I like them and always wore them.
perfect match! L.O.V.E. IT!!
Great<3

i dont like the glasses... i used to love your other glasses D: ^^

lovely cardigan my dear!! :)
Hey, that's the smart kid's textbook! I never so much as saw the cover! It looks like there haven't been any major developments in Algebra and Trigonometry in the past... 12(?) years.
Hello Tavi, How are you?
I love your sense of style. You're looking great in this picture. I really like the colors, it's very fun.

Tavi, I love you. haha

Hardie har har, anyway its good to have you back.

I took a look at your other posts and I think your sense of style isn't the greatest.
There was one post where you posted pictures of you and your friends individually... I think only ONE person out of your group actually dressed tasteful and she was the one wearing heels, skinny jeans, a lace tank top with a black tube top underneath the lace. i thought her outfit was cute.
That's it.
I love this outfit. Your dress and the broches are gorgeous!
www.dianas-fashion.blogspot.com
OHHH that math book, I haven't seen it for years.
love the geometrical shapes and patterns, and the colors.
Also, missed your posts, wehweh.
And I totally thought you were the librarian.
Tavi, I totally have that algebra book from 9th grade in my book case! Love that you used it for outfit inspiration.. so clever.
Check out my vintage fashion photos I posted today!

I also love fashion! Therefore, I lead blog about fashion:
http://ofstyledreams.blogspot.com/
Dear tavi: I'm going to bite your style and wear two different socks. I wear socks all the time with my skirts and dresses, and I'm pretty sure I can pull it off, so, just letting you know. *haha! ok? As if you care...I am a total stranger, plus I'm a thousand years old, plus I live far away from you in a totally different state and we're not likely to ever be associated or mix social circles or whatev., so, I figure it's ok. ok? ok.
Have a swell day!
* : )
sock/shoes combo - double win.
I like your nerdy look and colourful socks!
wowe. i have not seen Arthur in tres forevers, and the socks shall be declared deities.
That video just made my day.
(those glasses really suit you. but I do love your transparent ones.
I seen an old lady in Tesco today wearing glasses like your transparent glasses and thought of you. that's a great thing)
Dear Tavi,
Oh yeah! I remember watching Arthur as a lonely 6-year old. You have a very chic inspiration for me to wear crazy socks monday. I appreciate your blog post and your outfit as always.I hope you enjoy your fashion inspirations!
xoxo,
Desi

You are my inspiration Tavi. Keep up the good work.
Could we get a better look of you in the glasses? :)
Nicole
Cute outfit! And WOW is your chem textbook ever interesting! ;)

Perfect.

Love this retro outfit
hahahah! this was the title of my first blog entry ever, about a year ago!
great insight, love the socks, not that I'd ever be able to pull them off!
al3xisperlman.blogspot.com
I TOTALLY get the Funky Aunt reference. It is the ugly duckling of funny stereotypes that is on the brink of international stardom. just sayin.
I love the socks, Tavi. I think I'm going to start wearing mismatched socks and show them off! XD I always steal stuff that my mom thrifts for my Dad its kinda bad! XP love this outfit!
Adorable as always...
what an idea haha great
really love you and your blog! you're amazing!
congratulations! :)
http://theguardianoffashion.blogspot.com/
Love the socks! I think I used that same math book like ten years ago when I was in HS. Good thing math never really changes.

The men there can def pull off the cardigan and skirt look a lot better than most women can! haha amazing

http://eire-desings.blogspot.com/
Yeah! for the outfit. to voice a serious opinion about the glasses i'd need to see a full frontal shot of you wearing them. but in combination with your currently red hair (which is fading, i see) they just might look a tad too obviously Daria-esk. just sayin.
DAMN GOT THAT ANNOYING TUNE FROM THE VID IN MY HEAD FOR DAYS
YECKYL YECKYL HYDE JECKYL JECKYL HYDE HYDE YECKYL
but I like the outfit =]
love this look! i like how the socks tie in with the coloured cardi to give it all pops of colour!
omg stop being me!! i love that arthur episode. i know every fing word. i wish i was 5 years younger and went to your school and could make clubs with you an stuff. also, sick socks. I USED TO WEAR UN MATCHED SOCKS. Now i am way too boring for that.
kindda a regret that i can not play colors in my young age like you.. i like your style of being your age.. inspirations for other kids your age.. well done Tavi.. ^^
agree about the glasses. too bad about the snakeskin.
the socks remind me of Max Headroom backgrounds.
I have the same textbook. It's so old I think it belongs in a museum.
I LOVE that song!
It's interesting, thanks!
