Melissa is a Brazilian brand known for their plastic sandals. Their ‘Kazakova’ t-bar sandal has the classic t-bar look, but made 100% out of plastic.
As well as black, they come in burgundy, beige and blue.
The soles have a chunky look.
And the cut out sides show off plenty of foot.
Do you think a girl could get away with wearing them to school?

This is me badly channeling a sort of schoolgirl look because after just a year I have forgotten what it feels like to be kept in the iron clutches of school routine.
I certainly never wore Dr Martens to school but with black lace ups being technically on the shoe list I could have gotten away with them for at least my senior year and decorated them with stickers but it appears that idea is now two years too late. But it’s not too late for you!
Rebel against t-bar strap shoes and Mary Janes that everyone else has and don’t forget what our punk forefathers fought for!

Girls at Avila College Mount Waverley are not permitted to wear t-bar shoes with their school uniform. But they look back longingly at the days there were allowed to, with the ‘Golden T-Bar Shoe’ being awarded annual to the winner of the Avila Day celebrations.

Term Four, 2011
Following the Avila Day Mass, students returned to their homerooms where they enthusiastically participated in a whole-school trivia competition. The brain-bending questions covered sport, music, movies, general knowledge, East Africa, ‘who am I’, and Avila. Year 11 Purple was triumphant and was awarded the ‘coveted’ golden T-Bar shoe.
Any colour you like as long as it is black – that is what the original Harrison t-bar school shoes are known for. But Wilde, a manufacture of very similar t-bar shoe, you can pick any colour you like.
In 2012 they released their ‘Jenny’ t-bar school in six new colours.
‘Cobalt’ blue.
Pink.
Purple.
White.
Yellow.
And red.
Pity they don’t seem to be available any more. 😦

On the weekend I bought my second pair of these colourful school uniform shoes (in purple and for 50% off), this pink pair was my first and I realised I’ve never blogged them before. In Australia these t-bar style shoes are the shoe of choice for most school uniforms in both primary and secondary school, of course only in brown, black or navy not pink or purple. I fell in love with these colourful ones as soon as I saw them at iShoes on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy over a year ago, I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to blog them. I love reworking traditional styles of clothing in unexpected ways.
As to the rest of her look.
I never had a school uniform growing up, my primary school and both my high schools were inner city public schools without uniforms for whatever reason. Not having a uniform I used to look at the other kids on the tram in their matching school uniforms and feel sorry for them. There I was in my 90s ‘grunger’ outfit consisting of red flared pants with faux fur triangles, a tie-dye purple slip skirt over the top of the pants and a vintage diy cropped band t-shirt with my midriff exposed.
Essentially my outfit was the exact opposite of a boring ol’ uniform but part of me thought the uniforms were rather cute, especially the pinafore dresses of a local private school. So when I saw this cute pink love heart print pinafore dress on ASOS I immediately bought it and put together a look which is in part school uniform inspired – a kawaii school uniform if you will.
Nice combo, don’t you think?
Harrison Idaho t-bar school shoes have been around for decades. Here is an old school pair of them in brown – a colour of school shoe that has sadly been in decline.
Here is a closer look at another old school pair.
