THE GOOD:

Bananas

This outfit is bananas, and it makes me have to look at you twice! Seeing as you are daring in your fashion, I have to give you some "fame time." Any t-shirt tucked into a cute, little skirt, and belted at the waist looks great. With a short skirt, a smart girl such as you would either wear tights or leggings. As such, you went for a pair of lace leggings - a great choice as they are an attractive trend this year. Instead of flats, you chose some boots and threw on the jacket to complete the outfit. Way to shut it down!

Sweet pea

Sometimes I feel a cutie pie as yourself deserves a moment to stand out, especially when you are dressed so well. For simplicity sake, you're wearing a white tank tucked into a cute green skirt. The color mix is subtle and pleasing. Adding a little more to the outfit, you put a pink scarf around your neck. The whole outfit is simple and precious. I hope you feel great because you'll feel even happier once you catch yourself on the best dressed of the week.

Textile queen

I dub you the textile queen because you are wearing several different fabrics or variations of fabrics today. I'm seeing spandex in the leggings, cotton in the dress, cotton again in the knitted sweater, and of course leather in the purse and boots. I have to compliment you on the boots and the purse - a sturdy pair of boots and a nice purse will bring you a long way. First, and foremost, you look great. You created an outfit that is attractive and easy to wear in the fall.

THE BAD:

Double Negative

I feel repetitive having to get back on this subject but obviously the point wasn't acknowledged in the past. Allow me to reiterate this once again: Pajamas are not to be worn to class. Perhaps you happened to oversleep, roll out of bed, and scurry off to class. It happens to everyone, but that still isn't a good excuse. You have enough time to throw on a pair of jeans with last night's t-shirt and look somewhat better. Not only is it bad that you are wearing pajama pants, but the green crocs make this utterly painful.

High-tops

I surely hope you aren't heading towards your first class dressed like this. The two shades of gray you have going with your shirt and shorts aren't appealing together. The eye-grabbing factor here though is your long tube socks. You look like a gym student circa 1970. So let's substitute those tube socks for some "no-show" ankle socks. If you're heading towards the Rec, then I can possibly let this go. If not, you better turn around and go change.

Recall

This outfit makes me somewhat reminiscent of those days in middle school when we thought tying a sweatshirt around your waist was cool. Now, looking back on that, I think we were foolish, i.e. you should remove it from there and possibly hang it over your shoulders. Moving on, I must question your carpenter jeans. Are those a pair of men's jeans? I ask because women should never wear carpenter jeans.
