My 8th grade school portrait comprised of this look:
[insert photo when I find it]
These photos, shot by my mom, will have to do as a stand in -- I don't have time right now to find the yearbook to take a photo of the portrait.
What makes this outfit so special?

| I got the suede mini and leather wrap belt in Poughkeepsie (which was "the big city" for me then) at a hep boutique. The tee with many buttons? Can't remember. Sears? Can't see and can't remember the shoes, so I made them up. |
I was full of badass girl power!
Funny, it's not how my 8th grade instructors saw me.
While at my mom's last week, I came across a pile of paperwork set aside for me that included all my elementary through high school report cards. Apparently in eighth grade I was a distracted student, not doing my work, a bored malcontent. Ha! Maybe I was! I was ready for bigger horizons!
The suede mini (all 15 x 30 inches of it) is my Fashion Rosebud for the week.
