"woohoo yeah go sports"-kristin prim's pajamas

So...how do I say this, really? BASICALLY I came home one day and there was a package with a card from the creative director of Prada, Fabio, saying that he and Mrs. Prada saw that I really liked (or was being really creepy/in love with) the Spring 2000 collection and liked my blog (THIS LIL OLD THING? Shucks) and WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? The lip print skirts from that collection? I mean..crazy. When did all this happen again? I am not going to get used to it.
IMG_1336
t-shirt from Isabel. american apparel sheer button-down. repetto shoes, gift. rodarte for target tights, and due to FTC regulations I am supposed to let you know that I received compensation and pieces from the rodarte for target collection for my collaboration with target. prada lip skirt. wren black skirt underneath.

Despite my expression I was DYING inside, as I was the WHOLE DAY. I normally wouldn't wear such godly pieces of godliness to school amongst all those MERE MORTALS! With their AXE and their OLD SPICE! But alas, I am a mortal as well; one with greasy fingers and a runny nose, even. Still, I could not resist, and really wanted to break out the grey one this morning.
I don't think there was really any inspiration, I think I wanted to wear the skirt as a kind of babydoll dress and then add semi-gothteenager stuff, like the lace and the sheer button-down, to make it more creepy and less girly, more moody teenager, make it not look like something Charlotte would've worn on Sex and the City. The navy shoes just looked right. And I sort of like the idea of trying to cover a gray t-shirt with a nice button-down and fancy girly lips.
Also, I look like a penguin.

NOW HERE'S ME, BEING ALL COOL AND A MODEL AND STUFF.
IMG_1357
I enjoy how it looks like I'm taking off a wig. Speaking of this hair of mine, it's pretty much grey now! And it's lots of fun, because people can't figure out if I'm 80 or 13. Sometimes I don't know either, as most of the time I just like to bicker about the state of our world and wear hats, in various locations, including school, park benches, and my home.

Had to fasten the skirt to stay up using a baby pin. Putting a hole through the glorious fabric was painful but ended up not really affecting the skirt, THANKFULLY. And it sort of adds to the babydoll dress thing, in a weird way.
IMG_1374
And a better picture of the print. Notice how the lips practically GLOW. Do your lips practically GLOW? And those pleeeeeaats. No.words.
IMG_1372
The shoes are too big for me but I put them on for the picture. I do and don't want to grow. If I do, I'll fit more into these shoes and other clothes, but I'll also outgrow some of my current favorite pieces. DECISIONS, DECISIONS. Um, not that I have a choice. But! Anyway:
IMG_1371
I was also lucky enough to receive the skirt with red lips, which I plan to somehow incorporate into a creepy nurse/Richard Prince outfit.

Oh, life. Oh, people! You are very good to me, and I am lucky. One day I will be saying to my grandchildren, "You know, I once had a blog, which is like those hologram things you kids have now, but it was on a big cubic device. And some people kinda got a kick out of it, and I sometimes got things like skirts from Prada." And they'll be like "LOL OK TIME FOR BED, BUBBE."

amazing. amazing. so funny that people think you're 80. :)

Kate said...

CUTE! The greyish blue hair just enhances the outfit :-)

Also, it looks like those shoes are a few sizes too big - are you actually able to walk in them? I'd be falling on my ass in the snow :-P

Sarah Cazz said...

Hahaha Tavi, you make my day. I wish I was as cool as you when I was 13... heck, I wish I was as cool as you right now :) Live it up girl, even though your grandkids probably won't care enough to appreciate the awesomeness of your teenage life!

emily said...

Oh, my God. Oh my GOD. Tavi- you-

I don't even-

You are so lucky. You are... my mind is just blown right now. I can't even imagine being 13 (Two year difference, but pff) and GETTING PACKAGES FROM PRADA AND WORKING WITH RODARTE AND... just doing all the things you do. It's crazy. It's amazing. It's beautiful. I can't imagine anyone better to recieve things and appreciate things like this but you.

LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!1!

Isabel said...

I love that lil ponytail you've got going on! This outfit is freakin' marvelous. But obviously that is because you are wearing the Tin-Tin shirt I sent you, nothing to do with the Prada skirt (LOL).

PS - Did you ever get around to making the scrapbook?

Tavi said...

Isabel, check your DMs!

Miss Hulk said...

Okay so it was so strange when I looked at the first photo because I didn't even realize it was you. You looked older? yeah, older. But I was glad to see that your writting style hadn't changed;)

▲ FARRAH ▲ said...

LOL girl you are hilarious!! I love reading your writing, makes coming to your blog worth every single second! :) Yes, you ARE very lucky to receive that skirt!!!! I mean, c'mon..... it's PRADA!!! I would be psyched receiving anything Prada, even if it's just a Prada safety pin LOL. Anyway, I love the Babydoll silhouette and the moody teenager vibe you have going on.. oh, and I love you hair!!! 13 or 80, who cares??? lol.

Take care miss lady!

I cannot think of anyone more deserving that you (yes you bubbe) to have received those prada skirts is what your grandchildren will say ♥

Tavi, you do not have to worry about what you dress amongst all those mere mortals.. Style is not about labels, but a way of living.

Best,

Samantha said...

omfg, Tavi. The last line cracked me up too much. I have totally been wondering about you growing for a while. I thought it was just me being creepy. Which isn't to say that I'm not, but I feel less creeper knowing you put thought into it too.

It could be just because I'm incredibly lame, though. Either way, appreciate what you've got, you have no idea how many girls wish they could be in your position!

I don't know if anyone else has said this, but have you thought of wearing those shoes with chunky socks? It would stop them slipping around on your feet, and plus it would look cute :)
It would be a shame not to wear them other wise.

Okay, so I really love that. One of my favorite things I've seen on your blog.
Also, I'm totally jealous! And find it very rad that your grandkids will call you Bubbe.

Tavster (I say this as if I am BFF with you),

This post actually made me laugh a bunch of times. My friend Georgia, is looking over my shoulder as I write this and she is freaking out because she thinks I know you but I keep telling her I don't and she doesn't believe me. I WISH I KNEW YOU. In any event, you are supppeeerrrrr lucky these designer send you stuff! Never in my wildest dreams would I ever foresee this happening to me! Also, I decided to comment because for school I had to do this assignment on a book I read that was primarily based on the future. One of the options was to write a blog post commenting on what the world would be like in 2085. Ironically, just like you I said they were holograms! HA! I guess it is just one of those things that only I find funny, especially now that I write it out it is not funny to someone else at all.

Anywayyyy, if you would ever have a spare moment, if you checked out my blog I would be screaming as if I was the one who got the prada skirt!

You're too cool.

That's a great idea to hike the skirt up and make it into a dress. I want to do that!

Very very cool to come home and recieve a package from Prada.

I like the way this tee looks with your Prada skirt. Usual things like phones, bikes or parts of the body look grotesque on clothes from great designers.

I think I prefer growing, because I can buy new clothes and alter old ones.

(By the way, your hair rocks!)

On another note, could you, um, kinda, give me permission to use you as my inspiration. I design clothes (on my blog) and I'd love to make a mini collection based on your clothes (I'd draw child models XD not my stick figures)

Comment here, i'm watching follow up comments. And I don't mind you saying no :)

Tania said...

ah, my last comment made me sound like I see you as really small/young. I just meant that my stick thin models aren't realistic and what you wear would probably look strange on them :S

I can't believe you're just 13. What you've been doing is making me jealous 'cause I wished to get involved in fashion since I's as young as you but It's too late now. Oh!

Patricia said...

I've been reading your bloggeroo since the almost-beginning, Tavi, and I must say...

You've grown a lot since the beginning. Seeing your style evolve and grow — not just with your clothes or outfits, but also YOU! — is almost like having a distant relative or younger cousin that you just stare at in awe for all of the wonderful things she is accomplishing on her own and can't help but feel REALLY proud of her. Maybe I sound like a crazy person now, but you know what ... oops and too bad? Ha! You've decided to bring the world along with you on your ride into the fashion world, and I'm pretty sure there are more people who feel like this too. So I'm not the ONLY crazy person, right? T_T

In any case. Congratulations to you and all you do. Keep it up.
And I LOVE your hair at this mini-length, and the color. Keep it like this. =P

Unknown said...

I want your colour of hair. It's kinda perfect. I'm 13 also and it cracks me up about how your classmates and teachers react to how you dress. It's sometimes reminds me of some of the reactions I get. My favourite part of the outfit is either the tights or duh, the skirt/dress. Btw I live in Canada and its always too cold to wear skirts in the winter, so consider yourself lucky:) That is all.


P.S. I love the pin.

Anyway, you know you've made it when you get personally invited to a Prada Show. You are such an inspiration.
Keep up the hard work!

I can't believe you did that to your hair! Looking like your 80 should be left until you ARE 80!

Tavi! I thought of you today after reading this post! I was shopping in SoHo and randomly stopped into the Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti store and guess what their new line is? huge LIPS! I'll be posting them on my blog later this week but if you're too impatient check out the site Philosophy.it it made me laugh to think of the co-inky-dink.
Much love,
Keep being exactly who you are,
B

OMG you have no idea how jealous I am that you have correspondance with Miuccia Prada and Rei Kawakubo. P.S., I just read your interview in POP. I lovedddd it!!!!

I think I would die if I met Miuccia Prada.

I don't know what would happen if I met Rei Kawakubo. Just the thought makes it hard for me to breath.

Meghan Roberts said...

Ah, j'adore my dear.

This outfit is perfection.

Looking back on your older posts, you have grown into such a gorgeous and stylish young lady. (Gah, I sound like I'm some 40 year old housewife reminiscing over my baby girl's path through life, when I'm only a few years older than you :p)

Well I ramble too much and this is lovely.

Tavi!
Forget the hair color. All of a sudden you look all grown up!In such a good way! I know you are not rushing it, and that is brilliant. I have no doubt you will keep it real!
Kudos! (could've added Kiddo but how gross would that have been. Yeah forget about it)Blessed be!

Cheryl said...

And the writing. Oh the writing!!Gaw! I'm in awe! Thanks for the insight and inspiration.

Arturo Romo said...

Wow... call me immature for my age (I'm a gay 27-year old guy), but I want to dislike you. However, you are like my fave anti-hero. I wish I were as creative as you at that age. Bravo darling! Keep at it.

OOOOH! Lucky you!!! Gifts from Prada! The look is fab. And those Repettos are something you'll really want to grow into. Trust me I have a few pairs and would not be without them.

Hey Tavi. I'm from Singapore (which is nowhere in China's geography,thanks) and your blog is lovely. Btw, I think you look like the grumpy old lady who lives down the street and wears smelly kooky clothes. But cuter I suppose.

Lady Danger said...

Tavi I LOVE THE HAIR. MY used to have gray hair and then she tried to die it silver with henna dye (the best) but it turned kinda purple which LOOKED FANTASTIC and i think you should head in that direction if you feel like shaking things up. I always prefer the crazy 80 year olds anyway.

OH SO FONDLY,

i dont know which detail is my fav so cannot decide :) fab !!

Unknown said...

I was going to say how lucky you are but I don't think it's luck you've been passionate and true about fashion because you love it and probably never expected all this - so hard work paid off ☺☺ Your hair is looking a little Andy Warhol - I think it's great that you aren't able to be put into a box!

Terri said...

what's your next hair color???!

dy of ghost said...

how exciting! and i love how you wore the skirt here, it looks perfect!

Emma Fick said...

You are the coolest person I know. Or don't know, rather. But the coolness remains.

I love this post! Your enthusiasm and excitement are contagious. Congrats on the Prada skirt, I love that you got it from "Prada and the Missus", so cute!

I feel like this post more than any other I've read is truly inspiring. Right on, Bubbe!

Cherie said...

After that little ponytail your wearing in that picture, I am seriously considering cutting my hair like yours. But I'm not going to dye it blue-gray, because I am not that brave.

Ciao bella!

Hi Tavi,

This is a complete non sequitur, but your profile photo reminds me of Feral Childe's Fall/Winter 2010 collection:

http://kaightnyc.blogspot.com/2010/02/feral-childe-fw-2010-sneak-preview.html

Do you know these designers? I think you would like them.

Here's some earlier stuff from when they were straight from art school.

More great photos on Kylah's photostream on Flickr

These days, Feral Childe is more classic, but still with wacky-intelligent, surprising details.

Full disclosure: I know the designers, but I'm not trying to push them arbitrarily; I really think you would like them!
