Today if you were to walk past me on my right side, you'd see this.
If you were to walk past me on my left, you'd see this.
No, I don't have any mind-boggling tricks up my plaid sleeve today, dear friends! I just felt like combining all my plaids and checks and tartan into one huge eyesore and possibly even give a few of my classmates seizures (spiteful? Indeed.)
My dad described my outfit as Schizophrenic, which works to me. If I had worn my two-tone tights it would have been even more so but the outfit was built around my new plaid ones and I enjoy the annoying clash.
Now I want you all to put on glasses that are totally not your perscription and then put 3-D glasses you probably got at Shark Boy and Lava Girl or some shit like that over the not-your-perscription glasses and look at the outfit again. Oh the joy I derive from your pain and misery and suffering and eyes hurtingness. And oh the joy you will derive from this following picture of a wombat, because this is what I ACTUALLY looked like today and it's only fair of me to warn you of the effects of insomnia and too much Nesquik before you combine the two yourself.
I googled "angry woman wombat freak" to find this baby. Accurate depiction of me at school at 9 AM, I'd say.
When I put on the shirt and skirt (actually an overall dress but the top part is tucked in) I wanted to still wear my red plaid dress somehow but it didn't really work layered as a skirt over the blue or as a jacket. So as to fix my HEART BREAKING, TEAR JERKING dilemma, I folded it in half, tucking one sleeve into the other, stuck my arm in the 2 sleeves and kept the rest of the dress in place with a belt (the yellow shirt was worn normally). It's kind of confusing and my right arm looks much larger than my left but at least it was quite warm!
I love me some plaid tights, oh yes I dooo. Don't worry, once I get my leather vest cleaned I will totally go V. Westwood with em.

Brilliant. This guy at my school sewed together two pairs of pants and whenever he wears them I look on in wonder. I wish I had pants like his, and a permanent version of your dress thingamabob as well.
*chapping* Amazing. Truly Amazing. Bravo. Bravo!

i am choking with excitement.
if there is ONE THING THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY WITH LOVE, IT IS MISMATCHED PLAID.
yessssssss
YOU MADE MY DAY!
Dearest T,
I basically love you just as I love Proust, Panda licorice, and the funny package on the Asian lychee flavored candies I get at the market down the street.
You're like my Proust/licorice/lychee baby. In a glorious mishmash of amazing patterns and killer flats.
Sincerely, forever and always, with sugar on top,
Laurel
Why are you so cool?
Wow Tavi this is very cool:)
The tights look awesome! i totally want a pair.
i can't count the many ways thati totally love this! i can totally see a programme made about you hen you're even more famous with kids who you went to school with, and them saying 'yeah tavi, the girl with the outfits!' i bet you have loads of secret admirers
Basically, you were just really undecided?
Kidding! You're cool as always!
this is completely genius and unbeleivable
-Gabriel
i like you from all sides. :)
HAHHAHAHHAHAHA! Amazing Miss Tavi!

XOXOXOX
the combination is so nice
I just found your blog and the way you write reminds me of my sister.
This is great. Wasit uncomfortable? Did it take alot of reajusting in school?
your amazing
Genius. Pure and simple inspiration. Folding the dress in half as you did? Incredible. I'm so going to do this, only I might do it with two items, one on each half!
love them all!
Great mix :-) love it
wow, intense- i did a double take. if only one of the lower halves was a pants, you could do a whole glen or glenda thing. but i digress, very impressive.
Thanks guys!
most recent Anon-It did take some readjusting, but was mostly just very comfortable.
abigail-That would be AWESOME. Must try it.
I agree with the first comment -- you're my hero! The colors and plaid combo remind me a bit of a jacket I'm getting from Christian Francis Roth, but it won't be as dramatic as your DIY.
WOW.
thats awesome!
omg lol so hard at "eye hurtingness"
brilliant post
<3
reminds me of house of holland! love plaids! been wearing plaids lately too..
PLAID IS RAD! EVEN BEFORE THE FAD!
ahaha I'm having wayyyy too much fun with inferior rhyme schemes.
GENIOUS
GENIOUS
GENIOUS
i want to wear my tartan tights now
hell, i wanna get another pair so i can mix them together and wear them like they're two-tone!
ps. i'll get back to you with that interview this eveningg : )
I love how bizarre this is.
i was reading this entry and was trying to figure out the half/half ability to wear clothes and i thought to myself:
'i bet she folded it into itself'
and then i read on. and you did.
but it sounds far more brilliant when you write it.
once again. you rock.
very good idea.
i never know how to wear belts.
i love the crazyness of this! it cracks me up! also the yellow and blue plaid makes for an AWESOME outfit! i love it.
haha, before i scrolled down and could only see the first picture in this post i was like woah she was really tame with this outfit! I love the outfits together and i think they would look great separate.
I love these tights !
You have an amazingly beautiful and harmonious face and even more than by your way to dress, i'm impressed by your writings and wit. It's a pleasure to read your blog - thanks for that.
Whoa thats really cool on how you did that! Very Dolce & Gobbana with Marc Jacobs!
<3 Sarah
thank you for the plaid headache- can you enter this is in the weardrobe plaid contest and totally win? thanks, it would make my week!~
WOW. THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY.
cant wait for the v.westwood combo!
xx
There is no doubt about it. You ARE my idol.
Annoying?!?!?! This is freakin' amazing!!! If you think this clash is an eyesore, look at one I wore:

I am a spaz.

the outfit reminds me of two face from batman
i love the plaid too :)
you are too amazing. If this is what you're like at 12 the world may expload from your awsomeness when your a grown up human being!
Thanks for giving me license to wear mis-matching plaid :)
