nyfw outfits part 1

Things are a little busy around here, in many ways! Fashion Week is good for dressing up though, and it's not like I'm keeping up with the pace of it anyway, so these are from last month.

With wifey Arabelle. Look at us little twee trolls! Awww. I am also taller than her now when I wear clunky shoes. (Sidenote: Teenagers are really funny looking, I only just realized. Like the other day I was staring at this kid who was standing next to my teacher and they were the same height but one was so obviously an adult and the other was like an overgrown 10 year old. This is not a trait specific to him, we are all like this, except the seniors who I confuse with teachers and have facial hair, ew wat cut that out/off.)

This outfit was pretty Romance Was Born heavy, with the leggings and scarf they sent me. I was thinking about crayon colors and childish things. The t-shirt is thrifted and the lumpy shirt is Comme des Garcons and was sent to me by beso.com.

The bag (thrifted) and leggings are so perfect together. Gap shoes, thrifted skirt, and Happy Socks.

Belle is a hair goddess.


Thrifted shirt and yellow slip, blue sheer skirt sent to me by American Apparel, and Miu Miu collar. Going for eccentric granny vibes.


THIS HAT IS GLORIOUS. My pal Laurel gave it to me and I can't get over the perfect mermaid/elf-ness of it. When I wear it to school the security guards are all "NO HATS ALLOWED" but that rule has to do with gang signs and I'm pretty sure I'm not in a gang of elf mermaid grandmas. But if it exists, how do I become a member?

  7. leggings + thrifted bag = perfection. the style rookie strikes again!

    geeze tavi, i remember the first day i found your blog; i think you were posting about CWAC or your alter-ego tomas. you are exquisite (just look at that hat!) and your personal style has evolved in a way i couldn't even imagine. you have one of the few blogs i make sure to follow.

    all of this is a longwinded way of saying this is my first comment on your blog, and you rock, etc.

  8. That peacock tail is fabulous. And I find the naked women on the collar fun!

  9. You guys are so gorgeous! Also, if you find out anything about an elf-mermaid-grandma gang then let me know, because that sounds freakin' awesome.

  10. Where do I get a mermaid/elf-ness hat? It's great - I'd wear it to school too/

    ReplyDelete
  11. Okay the patterns in Grandma Dumbledore outfit are beyond a joke. So good it hurts!
    Also, you have security guards at your school?
    Also, Romance Was Born! Australia reprazennnnnnnttttttttt!

  12. You two girls have the best smiles on your faces in the first photograph! It's kind of like the pre-prom, "Mooommm! Do I really have to take a picture?" But deep down inside you are so excited that you really do want your picture taken!

    Anyway...love the leggings :)

  13. That last bit made me laugh - the granny/ mermaid gang sounds like an interesting idea! It's also such a strange (kind of alien) concept to me to have security guards at your school. I live in the middle of nowhere, go to a tiny highschool that is pretty much open campus, and the only time the police really turn up are for talks and assemblies!
    I love the Miu Miu collar, and the feather print shirt - those kind of shades remind me of a sugared almonds.

    ReplyDelete
  14. just be like "hey mr. scurity guard - this ain't no hat. this is a bon-e-fide headpiece."

    my school didn't have security guard so no i imagine u go to a middle school that resembles that piece-o-shit high school in the classic coming of age drama "save the last dance" that might be before your time, but then again so is hole.

  15. Your outfits are always stunning. And you're a very good writer. I haven't explored your blog that much yet but I wonder if you write short stories or a really deeply personal journal?
    You were in this month's Vogue! It's amazing how a young girl like you can really make a statement.
    Hugs.

  19. I couldnt help but have a little giggle, so funny! I looovved this post! I cant get my mind of this crayon color crochet bag. I used to make something like that in the school in handcraft class, mh.. and i might even take up knitting again. Although summer is coming, but it will only give me time to finished a wool scarf by next winter! :D

  21. I love the sense of youth in all of your outfits- not in the sense that you're a teenager, but in the sense that everything you create is part of a world of make-believe.

    Also, I'd love to join your gang of elf mermaid grandmas if you ever decide to create one.

  26. This mermaid elf gang sounds pretty cool?
    Also the colours in your eccentric granny outfit are so great it's ridiculous.
    I totally get what your saying about teenagers. I feel like the way people ( in my school) dress also adds something to this whole awkwardness thing.

  27. You and Belle are too cute (definitely not trolls!). My eye was drawn to your shoes and Belle's hair, but then I saw the peacock/mermaid -esque hat! Truly glorious!

  30. "but that rule has to do with gang signs and I'm pretty sure I'm not in a gang of elf mermaid grandmas."
    Oh, Tavi, you make me smile :)
    All school are absolutely ridiculous- my school had similar rules, and my sister and I would say stuff like that. Being at college six hours away from her, that was nice to see after a difficult few weeks back after spring break. Keep on being you! I love your blog!

  34. Aww you both look so fantastic!

    I love the way you flawlessly mix expensive with thrifted :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sorry, It's to late to join the badass of badasses gangs aka EMG. You see, you had to be present for the recording of "Under The Sea" from the lil mermaid. You also have to be able to make very lumpy/misshaped sweaters and know that they're very lumpy/misshaped and then give them to your loved ones. On the bright side, you fill the rest of the standards.

  36. always keeping it fresh unique and new style rookie! i love it. wish I could have enjoyed nyfw.

  42. That hat is amazing and I think you should start that gang. I would like to be a member. Love the eccentric granny style mixed with weird teenager. I am none of this but that's what's so great about fashion. It's up to you to choose.

    ReplyDelete
  43. love them-thar leggings and bag. looks like something i would crochet and wear.
    i think i could also plan an entire prom around that feather. the colors are awe-inspiring.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The hat just made me crazzzzyyy. Its probably THE most beautiful hat i've seen in all of my life. The second outfit is so fresh and RE-freshing. I love the colors and the hat is perfect with it. You have such an interesting wardrobe!

  60. Saw you in the new H&M Spring magazine yesterday:)

    ReplyDelete
  61. nice hat, but how do you keep it on your head? ^__^ but seriously, doesn't it need adjusting every few steps? or do you stroll real slow, like an empress taking the salute? anyways, looks a bit like a Robin Hood cap from one of the old movies.
    btw, don't you get cold feet? i mean, you wear, like, at least four layers on your torso, but only socks? leaves me kinda baffled. mysteries of life... ^____^

  68. tavi, everything here, and i do mean EVERYTHING, is GLORIOUS. bag, comme coat, feather shirt (with hidden buttons!!), naked ladies, just everything. have i told you lately that you fucking rule? cuz you do.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm trying to do the "crayon colors and childish things" thing in my painting these days. So I'm really into the vibe you've got going here :-)

    In my previous attempts at this style of painting, the colours always end up too clean. This time I'm going to put all of the colours out, and just paint the whole thing in one go - so the colours mix together and get dirty and stuff. I want 'pure expression', Tavi Gevinson! Don't you understand?!?!!

    P.S I'm sorry about that outburst. I think it's just the frustration of my unrecognised artistic genius. [;-)]

  117. Chill! It's only Anna Wintour. A journalist. Someone who *writes* on fashion. Not a designer. Not someone who creates fashion.

    Also: you are a teenager. That's fine. It's Anna Wintour's job to be mature, not yours. Your job is to be a teenager. Enjoy while it lasts.

    In case this helps: when starting a conversation, ask people questions about what they are doing. That will flatter them. Make sure to ask a very precise question. i.e. one they can answer easily and that leads to another question. Say, 'I really liked the editorial on Fashion in Kazakhstan. How did you get the idea?' rather than 'Your work is great. How do you manage to be such a genius?'

    the combination of that thrifted feather shirt and the miu miu collar is absolutely extraordinary! the colors go so wonderful together. I absolutely adore everything about that outfit! it's as if peter pan were mixed with a mermaid and a schoolgirl in a pretty light airy fantasy land. a gang of elf mermaid grandmas-that sure would be a sight to behold!
