Today was angsty floating witch mermaid, with bffs 4ever 4lyfe Drew Barrymore at the 1995 VMAs and Courtney Love in Versace at the Batman & Robin premiere in 1997 in mind. The photo on the right is so you know why I don't smile in most of these photos. For your sake, really! I don't want anyone to have nightmares of baby teeth grannies.
Thrifted shirt and yellow slip, and the blue skirt was sent to me from American Apparel. On the plus side it's a great blue and creates the illusion of floating, on the negative, I am tiny for my age and STILL it's too tight around the waist and too long.

Mom's thrifted boots.
Manic Panic wig and Goody barrettes. The wig was well-received at school, often believed to be my real hair ("Oh, thank God it's a wig, for a sec I thought you had actually dyed your hair blue! That would be a bit too far!!") and apparently another girl wore a blue one today and everyone thought we planned it. I don't know who she is and I didn't see her but now I need to find my wig twin.

Nice wig!! Haha that's funny, I hope you do find the wig twin. I love the mermaid-esuqe look, I wanted to be a mermaid for halloween in preschool. http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/
i'd like to be your wig twin, if it constituted wearing that lovely wig

Ahaha, I remember when I dyed my hair red in 6th grade.
It was the first hair dying in my grade ever. I felt like a hero

what a glorious wig. I think your smile is actually quite adorable, in that awkward way.
I think I will always love Drew Barrymore, she looks lovely in that dress. You look like the nicest witch I've ever seen. Good luck finding your wig twin!

I think that if anyone could dye their hair blue, it would be you!

This is clearly the most genius outfit + wig combo EVER. I love that you wore it to school. I would've worshiped any high school girl brave enough to do that. :)
cute wig color tavi!

I'm in my last semester of college, and seriously, your violet colored hair from a few months ago inspired me to dye mine purple before I start working.
You rock!
i love this colour!u look very pretty with it
You look great. The skirt, the hair, the blues--I love it.
Oh please, Tavi Gevinson! You have a really lovely smile :-)) And the photo on the right is just another stellar example - seriously!!!
the skirt is really fit on your wig! lovely.
Beautiful!
I love Barrymore and Love, their bleached hair is 90's-fabulous.
I was in Polly Sue's today and thought of you!
Why are you not my friend in real life?! JEEEEZUZ!
And that wig is making me hungry for cake.
LOL!! Hungry for CAKE?! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that response. It makes so much sense.
Tavi for president. Seriously. Blue hair and all.

I wish I could have that wig. I've always wanted to see what I would look like with blue hair...it looks fabulous on you, by the way :)

The wig looks a little off on you. Not because of the color, but the style. I think it would be cute as a pixie cut, but I must say I love that you did that at school and your school let you. We had a strict no color hair policy at our school : / that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.
i really like the color of your wig, it's very flattering with your skin tone!
you look like a young Kirsten Dusnt on the left photo :) loving the blue... maybe time to dye your hair that colour again?
Awww, I love old Drew.
Those cheap $1.29 goodyy clips and pins are the best arent they!?
its a damn good wig because i too thought it might of been you real hair :)
loving that skirt!

Have you ever seen the Russian movie Русалочка ?
It's an old version of The Little Mermaid. Way more beautiful and tragic. (And blue hair!)
You really should see it. : )

I absolutely adore the color of your wig!
I REALLY want a wig like that! It's fantastic! =]

How big is your school? I'm impressed that two blue-wigged people wouldn't come across each other. I went to a tiny high school. I probably saw everyone there every day!
I quite like the blue wig actually.

The skirt goes well with the wig though!

Courtney Love is awesome.

YES, I already dyed my hair (fifteen minutes ago) and I'm so proud of myself !
When I saw this pic, I thought you'd dyied your hair! this blue hair suits you great!!
mmm.. your hair looks good enough to eat.
You're amazing! Really good outfit! Love ur hair <3
This outfit is SO insane. I'm completely in love.
And the wig is just... so perfect and mermaid-y.
So great.
loving that colour of the wig and probably thinking it keeps you quite warm.love the mix and match between to differently feeling dresses xx
Great idea layering a long sheer skirt over a shorter one. I just might steal that.. :)
Une tenue un peu étrange, mais qui a un certain charme, jsui vraiment fan de tes cheveux bleu ;) !!!

Tavi, I envy your school life. If someone had turned up to school sporting a blue barnet round my bit of London, there'd be what we commonly referred to back then as "beats".
Super cool.
that wig is very mermaidy!! Great outfit :)

Blue works for you :)
Rock on with the blue wig!
i love your hairs !!!

The wig looks like fun, I'd like to have a platinum blonde Marilyn one! :-)

Might try the wig trick at school, but with a pink one, and see what kind of reaction I get? haha found this post hilarious, thanks! :)
Please please follow my blog and let me know what you think, any pointers would be much appreciated, can't wait to hear what you have to say!! :)

heck, do you look gorgeous or what!? though i'd still prefer your natural hair.
and don't be too hard on your smile. it looks totally relaxed and sociable [for a shark] ;)
plus, this particular example made me smile ^____^
I think that you suit the blue wig! Very cute and fun!
Thanks guys!
WendyB-Huge, over 3200 students I believe!
Richard Kilroy-UGH, such a good photo. I love Courtney's mermaid phase and Gwen's colored hair one.
Afra Klinkenberg-I've been meaning to see that for a while, it looks so good.
Hi Tavi- absolutely LOVE the wig! And the mermaid vibes... Too Cool For School. :) And nice kind of combination of those two outfits into one... Hope you find your wig twin.. If only I were she... :)
Aw, I like your smile. (I'm sure other people have said this, but like I'm going to go and read every single one of the 72 comments. Realllly fun.) Anyway, I said on the post where you first wore it but I LOVE the blue wig, and you should totally dye your hair blue again, but like this blue, and this exact style too. Just bring in the wig and be like, "I want this to be my hair." Or sew it onto your skull. Whavever you please. But you look like a blue version of the Lazytown girl.
it's crazy how much that actually looks like your hair!

hey tavi! i started my blog (www.thatscoolbeansman.blogspot.com) because i saw your blog so Fanks!! I wish my school allowed free dress, we had to wear uniforms similar to that of a sailors. AND our hair has to be natural colour! *SNIFFLE* Annyway i really hope you visit my blog, thanks for being just generaly awesome.

I've been wanting to dye my hair blue for 5 years now, but my mum won't allow it...Probably because the bleaching would ruin my hair! XD I've been trying to convince her for a year now to at least allow me a wig! XD
I wore a blue wig to school once buy it was shorter like when your hair acualy was blue, and people thougt I dyed it and how ironic somone eles wore a blue wig the same day! Maybe it was you again but they thought it was someone else.

HOW UR DAD FEELS ABOUT UR WIG?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has trouble squeezing into American Apparel skirts. It's like they make those things for hipless drag queens. Totally cute wig.
That wig is such a cool blue color, reminds me of my katy perry halloween costume!

Methinks we should definately team up and make jewelry for tiny people. I'm taller than average but I'm skinny with ttiiiinnyy arms/fingers/wrists (like my ring size is a 4.5 and my wrist isn't even 6" around)..and I'm 18. Lol..baby hands :]
But anyway I love your quirkiness! I remember last year my English teacher once wore a Whoville-esque blue wig and people thought it was her real hair ;D
-Bailey Faye, To The 9's
You're that sister I've always wanted .... :(
Pobre... Lol
I really dig this post
I know you have a list of people you have made jelouse somwhere in your room tavi, and you should add me. I wish I owned all the clothes you have especially the Miu mius. You make me so jeloyuse it could almost be a sin(almost). I love your outfits.

There's a better picture of her in the latest Marie Claire.. which I was reading when I found the picture and was reminded of you.
I love your inspirtaions and how you translate what inspires you.

If I could wear a different colored wig everyday, I would. Unfortunately if I were to dye my hair the blue of your wig, it would fade very, very quickly. I once dyed my hair bright red, and it faded in about two weeks. It also left what looked like blood wounds on my scalp.

Like you very much,dear Tavi!Mother's boots are very cool!
The contrast of your neon colour hair and your solid black top almost makes you look ghosted like. Very clever, great post!
please check out my site http://flashingfashionx.blogspot.com/im a great fan
Wow! It´s really real? I saw yesterday TRON The Legay, maybe you must be the next ISOs... not Olivia Wilde...Great hair!
I love mid 90's Drew, the blue hair rocks!!! Lovely colour I think I would like a blue wig for special occssions, I fear it would be wasted here in Kent!
It looks like you grew a couple of inches! Now you're probably taller than me :/
you are the sh*t.
just posted about you -- "inspiration of sorts"
check it out.
Tavi you look awesome!xxx
You're allowed to wear wigs at your school? LUCKY! I would wear a different wig every day if I could!
Im glad you are into fake hair as well, Im pretty obsessed with my extensions right now, fake hair is becoming addicting! ahhh!

I want to go to a school where wearing blue wigs is the norm <3.
Can't believe someone wore a blue wig, like if it was the most common think ever! haha
I love the skirt, but maybe it's too long. I've always thought this skirts are for giants!
Love the outfit:)

i am ob.sessing over this outfit.
love that skirt. and wishing i could pull off blue hair. or any color hair other than red/brown.
http://afashionelle.blogspot.com
Your smile is great! Also, I had the thought that for our (our meaning the collective viewers of style rookie) late winter celebrations present, you could dye your hair blue! Then go find your wig twin. :)
when I was younger it was always my dream to style Courtney Love because she's such a beautiful girl who's just a little troubled....definitely love the blue wig...you should make it permanent!
http://staringatthemoon.typepad.com/joeyb/
It looks pretty fine on your head. You realy could dye your hair in blue.
P.S. I like your blog very much, and I'm from Croatia and I don't know to spell every word on your language
P.S.S. I hope you will find your wig twin. Checkout my blog:http://thebigartoflandk.blogspot.com/
drew barrymore's dress in that photo is magnificent! reminds me of ursula in little mermaid, but a very chic one. and those flowers in her hair! i need that dress in my life!
kisses from the philippines!
http://definedelirium.blogspot.com
Love the blue! Looks great on you!
Even my mom, which is definitly conservative about lots of matters, followed me on a very long 'WOW' when we saw this look. Beautiful blue! This skirt is so... *-*
If I was a woman, I'd be using a diffrent wig for each day, or each 'social meeting', cause, in my mind, it sounds like fun. And fashion is all about fun, right? At least, for me.
Barrymore projects the best free spirit ever.
I love the idea of wigs. More power to you if you wear one! There is someone at school who sometimes wears bright wigs and everyone thinks it's creepy.
However, I'm sure she finds jeggings creepy, as I do.
IT WOULD B EVEN KOOLER TO HAVE A CARTOONISH COLORFUL HAIRSTYLE LIKE IN THE VIDEO KATE FOR BALMAIN....ONE DAY!!! ))))
you DO look like you're floating-- love the layered skirts :)

Aw I wish I could wear a wig to school and cool clothing... Here in Scotland I would be ripped apart (I guess I don't have the confidence anyway!) and we have to wear freaking school uniforms!
Love your blog tavi, you write so well x
