I seem to always open my blog posts lately with the line "if you follow me on twitter then you would know....." I guess I don't want to seem like I'm repeating myself all the time, but if you do follow me on twitter then you would know I'm currently in Melbourne for my ten year high school reunion (well that and other things). I've been debating what to wear pretty much since I got the invite a few months ago. As with most people high school for me was not always pleasant, what with bullying mixed with being an awkward fashion obsessed teenager which seemed to only attract more bullying. Oh and being fat in high school is pretty much hell. So yeah there was a little bit of me that wanted to go back and show those bullies up, so my outfit had to totally rock. It worked, one ex-bully said I looked glamorous and my life sounded like Gossip Girl, total life has meaning moment right there.

Great outfit Hayley - I love how that blazer and necklace work together and am quite tempted now to hunt down your lippy and nailpolish - you look fab!
ReplyDeletePS: have you seen elke kramer's new collection? I'm completely obsessed with the styling of her latest campaign and generally just dazzled by her talent!
Ah, I hope you showed those bullies how successful you are now! I hated high school so much and for the entire duration of year seven I had absolutely no friends and groups of bitchy girls would walk past me and stare as I ate my lunch. Man oh man I hope I'm really successful in the future so if I ever go to one of those reunions I can show them who is having the last laugh <__<
