Back to School Fashion

Fashion is not really made for back to school, is it?


I don't know what haute couture is for actually.


Just in case you missed all the back to school hoopla, here's some high fashion designed for those with thousands of dollars for designer shoes:


I know Paris designer shows are in fact high art, drawing on Klimt and other of the avant guarde, to be dumbed down later for the regular stores and regular people. The dumber the store, the dumber the fashion until, at the bottom of the fish pond, we're in BigMart finding 1/4 inch heels, a somber pale orange, for the intrepid housewife or teacher.

I guess you could wear those flats (1/4 inch heels do not count as heels) with this next dress, but it may be a little iffy on wardrobe security...you don't want dresses falling off and exposing too much body in front of little kids. They will snicker and laugh their heads off and you'll probably be picked up for indecency and never work in the public school system again. Or private schools for that matter.


Jeans and tennies, tired and true, will do the trick. Maybe a pretty blue shirt with khakis for a more attractive look. After all, the children do need a sense of beauty in their lives. Beauty other than the yellow crumpled crepe paper squashes for under the black twisted butcher paper branches on the wall. Lovely orange pumpkins will be next; it's almost Halloween in their minds.

And I'm thinking that maybe pretty orange shoes would be the frosting on the cake as far as child haute couture.
