Tanning

Being in a high school you are bound to hear of girls that tan.  You can tell who goes "fake baking" because they are orange all year round.  It seems like some girls actually get addicted and go way too much.  I understand when the sun goes away in the winter and you want to get some color back, but to the point of orange is ridiculous.  I'm so happy that summer is finally here and everyone can tan outside and get a more natural color from it.  -Lindsey 6/5

Beards and Mustaches

As boys get into high school they start getting facial hair that some shave and others let turn into beards or mustaches.  Right now the lacrosse players in school made a pact that none of them would shave as long as they were still in sectionals.  I've seen several boys this week who have grown out mustaches and beards that don't usually have them and I really can't wait until they are allowed to shave it off.  I really think they look gross and makes them look dirty.  Mustaches especially are really weird and make them look more like a creepy old man than a high school student.  I can't think of anyone that actually looks good with one, they just need to go.  -Lindsey 6/5

White for More Than Weddings

Because it's prom season I always like to look through pictures and see which dresses people wore.  As I was looking through this year I noticed a lot of girls wearing white dresses.  They all look great in them, but I wonder if while they were picking them out they thought about the fact that white is the color you wear on your wedding day.  It seems funny that you would choose to wear that to a prom when you know it should be dedicated to one specific day in your life.   _-Lindsey 6/5

     can you tell which is which?

Summer Shoes

Summer shoes are the most fun to shop for.  There's regular flip flops, decorated sandals, heels, and wedges.  Each type has an important purpose.  I like it when girls mix it up between all of the different kinds.  It gets so boring to simply wear plain black sandals every single day.  You have to add some flavor to whatever outfit you're planning on wearing.
      On the other hand, my history teacher wears wedges every single day.  It actually doesn't bother me that she doesn't rotate between different types because she has so many different patterns and colors of wedges that it really works for her.  That's what I love about shoes.  They allow everyone to be unique and different in whatever way they choose. -Lindsey 5/30

School Dress Code

Now that the weather is getting warmer, kids at school are starting to wear short dresses, short skirts, and short shorts.  The principals, however, do not like this transition.  At school it seems like everyday you hear of several girls getting called down to the office to change their outfit because the principal felt it was too inappropriate for school.  I really think that the school is being too harsh on this subject.  It's hot out!  Give the students a break.  I can understand if someone wore a skirt or dress that was too short or revealing, but shorts?  Come on.  How can shorts be that short that it is considered distracting to others trying to learn?  I'm not really seeing that.  I've never seen a girl wear a pair of shorts in school that I thought were so short that it was actually distracting me.  Shorts cover everything so I don't see the problem here.  I think a new policy on the summertime dress code desperately needs to be discussed and put into place. -Lindsey 5/30

White Back in

It's finally Memorial Day, so those of you who follow the fashion rules closely can finally wear white pants with a guilt-free conscious.  The unwritten rule is no white pants or shorts after Labor Day and before Memorial Day.  It finally feels like summer now that white is in.  Everyone can break out their white pants and shorts this week and look good doing it!  -Lindsey 5/30

Nails!

I love the look of freshly polished nails.  Something about that makes the girl seem like she knows how to take care of herself and she does it well.  I think it adds a little something extra when you have your fingers and toes painted.  I love the look of french manicures and I also like it when the color of the polish matches the person's outfit.  I think especially in the summertime girls should always make sure to have their nails polished because it definitely completes the look.  -Lindsey 5/22
