When you do year 12 out our secondary college and the year draws to an end the students have what they call a muck up week.
Tuesday & Thursday is for dressing up in a costume that starts with a letter from one of your initials.
Wednesday you transform your uniform into what ever you like and then get your fellow peers to graffiti it. Friday is to PARTY and graduation.
We started with this…..
Using only theses materials which we had purchased earlier…..
And ended up with a skirt and top.
The back of the skirt it has a big bow….
Found over on Polyvore is this selection by daizyjayne – best school shoes ever! in black or brown…Harrison Idaho T-Bar Shoes.
What is a secret hipster to do with her almost new pair of t-bar school shoes following graduation. Start wearing them again!
DIY Crown, DIY gingham top, Dangerfield dress worn as skirt, Harrison t-bar strap shoes, silver cross from my best friend, pink prison rosary from eBay, vintage Polly Pocket bracelet
These are the shoes I had to wear as part of my school uniform and my mother insisted on getting a new pair for my final year. At the time it made no sense to me since my old pair would fall apart in the middle of the year when no one cared anymore but no.
I had to live my life obeying the rules. I’m tempted to begin wearing them again since there’s a lot of life left in the leather but I still need to figure out how to avoid looking like a high school student through style.
I’m thinking of drawing some smiley faces on them with fabric paint or painting them in coat after coat of glitter which is a little difficult given the perforated holes. I’ll think of something though- don’t you worry about me.

I realise I’m a bit late to jump on the bandwagon of Easter-themed outfits but I have only myself to blame because I’ve been planning this one for ages and only lacked the motivation to execute my idea in full.
ASOS faux fur coat, second hand t-shirt, Meadham Kirchhoff X Topshop skirt, POMS earrings and Harrison T-bars
This outfit is really my way of channeling me inner space queen meets Hollywood actress vibes. For once I was able to create a unique outfit the day before I wore it. Usually I’m torn between what skirt or shoes to wear but for once it all kind of made sense in my head.
Dangerfield soupy dress and socks, American Apparel shirt, thrifted crochet jacket, POMS earrings and necklace, dog brooch from ginettepomette (etsy), buttons from Melbourne Art Fair and Harrison T-bars
T-bars school shoes aren’t just for the classroom – fashionable ladies know how to pull them off with any look.

The T-Bars are actually my school shoes, but I love them enough to wear them out of school as well, generally with frilly/cartoon socks and dresses or skirts!
You don’t have to be a schoolgirl forced to wear a uniform to buy a brand new pair of t-bar school shoes.
For my shoes I wanted to go with something a little different. I recently picked up these school inspired buckled shoe in a patent leather, and if I’m honest I think I’m in love with a pair of shoes! This style of T-bar shoes are really on trend right now and I’m glad of it. I paired them with some white frilly socks. I think it adds a really cute school girl theme to the outfit, and adds an innocent look.
These t-bars are by Schuh.
‘Making Meadows’ is our very own on-trend chunky flat design for the new season. A black patent leather upper features buckle detailing with a T-bar adding a dainty touch. The silhouette sits on a sturdy sole unit.
You can take the girl out of school, but you can’t take away her memories of t-bar school shoes.
I bought these brown leather schoolgirl’s T-bars* (they are real standard-issue footwear for some schools here) last month to wear with thick woollen socks, cuffed at the ankles or knee-high, when the weather gets cold in the next few months.
Quite similar to what I used to wear to the all-girl school that I attended more than 20 years ago.
It was a set of uniform that wasn’t designed to be worn in hot and humid Singapore (before classrooms were air-conditioned) – a loose navy blue pinafore with three huge box pleats running down the front and the back, belted at the waist, over a white short-sleeved blouse. With white socks, folded, and white canvas shoes.
We used to run around without the mandatory belt – we had to let air in under those layers somehow, and getting those box pleats to sit all neat and tidy under the belt was hell! Very often, we were sent to the headmistress’ office by prefects for breaking the “uniform” rule.
When I finished high school, I didn’t think I’d want to wear another pinafore-like thing for a long time but I did. And always without a restricting belt.
