We haven’t had one of these in a while so let’s fierce it, okay? I know many of you have started school already or are just about to so I’d love to share with ya a BACK TO SCHOOL prezzie, this rad value meal backpack from Burger and Friends, a $48 value, plus some extra surprises from me!

For those of you doing the wardrobe remix thing, please post a link to your look if ya want. Would love to meet ya face to face! I’m going to pick 5 RANDOM WINNERS and I’ll send each of you a backpack packed with superfun surprise goodies.

Of course, for those of you who aren’t in school, you are still super eligible. Gonna pick the winners at random so leave us a good comment - why not tell us a lil’ bit about yourself, like how old you are and/or any feedback you have for us? - and you’ll be automatically entered in the drawing. I’ll pick the winners on Tues and announce it by Wed 9/3. Good luck everyone!

I plan to wear a rediculous red cardigan, a threadless tshirt, black straight jeans, peacock keds flats, a fedora… and maybe ride a unicycle.

I would wear one of my own creations and then feel completely uncool because I would get there and everyone else would be wearing the hot stuff from FF of course! I am not witty enough to deserve to win, but I am poor enough to deserve the prize. I adore FF, does kissing up count? because thats all that counts in school! lol
comment by Angelina — August 29, 2008

oh I LOVE blog contests… GO CVER & TOMMY

LOVE “fierce it out” gotta use that one more often. thanks babes.
comment by Chris — August 29, 2008

On my first day of school I’ll be wearing…my pajamas…all day. Seeing as I’m homeschooled and there’s really no point in getting dressed nice cuz no cute boys can see me. So pajamas. Probably very cute pajamas. =]
comment by Caty — August 29, 2008

whoa yeah! not only do i desperately need a end-of-summer pick me up, but this backpack will help me be a better kids shoe designer! really! i design kids shoes and i think this would be fantastic to haul my tools to and from the office. the other designers will be sooo jealous!!!!

comment by sarah louise — August 29, 2008

I’m only taking a photography class this fall, so I’ll most likely wear a pair of jeans and this old terry cloth hoodie that I’ve had for years and years - they keep the dark room freezing!! I haven’t really put any thought into what I was going to wear on the first day of school since I was in high school, like 9 years ago - OMG I’m old!!
comment by Lauren — August 29, 2008

I just graduated, however, when I go back to visit some of my friends at UMass in a couple of weeks, I’ll probably wear this cute outfit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/repackagedsex/2758092965/in/pool-wardrobe_remix However, I’m fickle and I’m bound to change my mind… the giant bow in my hair is a definite though ^o^ Actually, I guess I should start thinking about my first day of being a grown-up outfit…
comment by Bethany — August 29, 2008

I will throwback a bit to the early 90’s, on my first day of 2nd grade. That day, I was sportin’ a green and magenta turtleneck, a jean skirt, magenta stirrups, brown boots, and a kick ass color-block backpack. Oh to be young and not care that you looked like your mom was drunk when she picked out your clothes that morning… LOVE ff! You have supplied me with the best collection of sunglasses EVER.
comment by BrookLyn — August 29, 2008

as i will be attending an art school this fall, i believe it is only appropriate that i express my creative side with my wardrobe. i will be possibly wearing my wide flare jeans, an american apparel concert tee, and a striped grandpa sweater (complete with pins). as for the shoes, maybe i’ll go with the new chucks… you know the curved style ones? i have them in bright yellow. i love you fred flare!
comment by kady — August 29, 2008

I just bought a new cardigan last night. It’s hot pink with an embroidered black skull w/ crossbones on the left side of the chest. Sadly, it’s from the children’s department, which means I can fit into clothes that were made for a 10-12 year old girl, despite the fact that, in reality, I’m double that age and much taller than the average female. I’m going to add my dark wash, boot cut jeans to the mix, and throw in my Rocket Dog shoes with skulls and hearts along the side of the soles. To top it all off, I’ll accessorize with my Tokidoki bag (featuring Adios). I think I’m starting to see a trend… skulls?

comment by Katrina — August 29, 2008

comment by Marie — August 29, 2008

i’ll be wearing baggy paint jeans and a black babydoll tanktop i’ve just made! and my happy clouds loyal army hoodie. hooray!
comment by joy — August 29, 2008

I’m going to be wearing a new pair of dark-wash skinnies, a pair of green Keds (I love the inside- hot pink- but sadly no one will get to see that part) and a greek-inspired sleeveless shirt. As for accessories, I have a Salvador Dahli timeline bracelet all picked out

Now all I need is a value meal backpack and I’ll be ready to go!
comment by Kay — August 29, 2008

my first day of school starts on wednesday but im pretty sure this is what im going to wear! im going to grey skinny jeans with a pastel teal colored polo shirt. depending on the weather i might wear a purple cardigan–i love purple! and some sort of sandal and this big pink bag i bought at american apparel. and inside it has the cutest bag my mom bought for me that i use for a change purse http://www.nahuiollin.com/producto.php?idProducto=109 as for shoes i have no idea!!!!!!!!! and im wearing just plan silver studs and im deciding whether or not to wear this necklace with a mineral on it
comment by Luana — August 29, 2008

Black pants & shirt w/ cool knit poncho W/ knit flower pin from Greek festival.
comment by jony — August 29, 2008

I learned not to talk in class or i got a paddling.
comment by Michelle Simons — August 29, 2008

I graduated from school, but the first day of my brand new grown up job I’m supposed to dress Ann Taylor loft-style. I’m not sure what I’m going to wear to be “myself” but still be office casual. Probably something subtly plaid yet formal to show my coworkers - “I’m young, I’m hip, and I’m drinking too much company coffee.” And don’t get me started on the shoe dilemma …
comment by mj — August 29, 2008

I wore my favorite pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans, a Jimmy Eat World shirt and bright pink Nike Internationalist sneakers. I thought wearing my favorite jeans would make for a good day but I didn’t consider the fact that it was about 108 degrees and the campus is huge so I was sweaty and miserable all day!
comment by Jessica — August 29, 2008

It will be my first time in a brand new high school, so i’ll wear a cute tee, my fave jeans, and a hot new backpack that’ll make all my friends jealous! I’m super nervous, so I have to dress to impress!
comment by Audrey — August 29, 2008

i will be wearing this crazy colorful hippie square-neck tank top i thrifted and some dark denim cropped skinnies with my jack purcells

can’t wait, i’ m a total school geek. loving this backpack!!!
comment by sara — August 29, 2008

Class already started for me, and I wore a dark red tank, black cardigan, dark jeans and some black wedged flats. And of course, my favorite owl necklace

comment by Sarah — August 29, 2008

Hope I don’t end up wearing what I did in my dream (nightmare) last night….nothing!
comment by Kristi — August 29, 2008

I’m 21 and don’t go to school anymore. I like to share an old school outfit still in my mind. First day of nieth grade I wore this- blue short sleve shirt, denium patchwork skirt,paul frank socks with pink sugar shoes.
comment by Pam — August 29, 2008

Well, my first day of school already happened. Living in SF, I thought I’d look totally cool in my new argyle sweater. Well, I did look cool- but I was SO HOT in it! Of course the day I decide to wear my cardigan is the one day of pleasant sunny weather in SF. Needless to say, I got the “Aren’t you hot?” comment all day…. nice.
comment by Chloe — August 29, 2008

I have way too many choices to choose from on my first day, but i think my safest bet would be to wear my school uniform. Navy skirt and white blouse.

comment by Sami — August 29, 2008

Although I don’t really go to school in person anymore (getting my master’s in library science online), I still shop for back to school.

So on my imaginary first day, I will wear this new Marc by Marc Jacobs coat I just got (brown, toggles, trimmed in fur), a tee shirt from FF, dark skinny Levi’s, NY Subway socks, and my purple Frye booties with the stacked wooden heel.
comment by Kati — August 29, 2008

I am currently working at a preschool and on the first day of the new semester i wore my totally cute ff two scoops sweatshirt! Here is how a bunch of my kids responded: “Miss.Sheree, why do you have ice cream on your shirt? I got that question all day long! haha.
comment by SHEREE — August 29, 2008

My new green 90´s tennis shoes. And anything else that appears to go with the climate situation of the day…
comment by Regina — August 29, 2008

On my first day of school, I’m for sure going to wear my new Jack Johnson concert t-shirt. I went and saw him live, and he was amazing. I’ll pair it with a cute pair of jeans and a huge cocktail ring and I’ll be all set.
comment by McKenzie — August 29, 2008

even though i’m done with both high school and college… i do remember what i wore my first day of school senior year of high school. i’m a big fan of trying those little crafty fashion tips in magazines, so the night before the first day, i found a bunch of random buttons and sewed them onto a black tank top. it was super cool but totally heavy. (i also wore a navy and red-striped tie a la avril lavigne). it came full circle when i was nominated most fashionably loud for my yearbook superlatives and wore the same shirt for the picture! i have to admit i kinda miss that first day of school excitement/dread!!! =)
comment by Lauren — August 29, 2008

I’m a freshman in college and I wore a pink t shirt with a skull made of flowers on the back, baggy cuffed shorts, and bronze metallic gladiator sandals! I topped it off with some white Elton John-esque sunglasses! Don’t go breaking my heart…

comment by Julie — August 29, 2008

sadly i am out of school these days - and when i go back i’ll be wearing nothing but scrubs…. but in the meantime i’m allll about the cardigans and knits!! at the ripe age of 25 i’ve started leaning more towards the comfort side of the clothing spectrum but that doesn’t mean i have to sacrifice my sense of fashion. bring on the leggings and knits! i’m officially welcoming Fall/Winter!
comment by Nenarella — August 29, 2008

I’ve been in school since the end of July, I started early. I don’t remember exactly what I wore…I think I wore grey jeans and a striped vneck. I like to keep things simple.
comment by ashley — August 29, 2008

I wore on my first day back to school, my skinny jeans turned Bermuda length shorts, along with a black and charcoal grey striped V-neck T-shirt. I wore my Canadian black slip-on flats that have been broken in perfectly. I accessorized with an absolutely fabulous gold chained necklace with an owl pendent, a ring, and a couple bracelets. The look pulled together quite tastefully however still standing out from my slightly more casual peers, ^.^ Everyday is a new project entirely. <3
comment by Adrienne — August 29, 2008

Well I have not yet had my first day of school but i plan on sporting some jeans and a plain white tshirt along with a hat or hair accessory to tame my crazzy curls. WIth the right amount of jewelry and a cute bag i have not yet chosen.
comment by Kirsten Paige — August 29, 2008

I’m not nearly as creative as most people. I had to dress all fun and professional for my first day of grad school (boo!), so I wore fun black flat, black pants, and a blue shirt with some sort of crazy neckline going on.
comment by Lindsey — August 29, 2008

Of course…the same thing I wore last year!
comment by Shayna — August 29, 2008

I want the first day of school, which is my last of my lovely highschool career to be a simple outfit. I want to feel on top as a senior and show you dont need something amazing to come back in

What this contains is a black linen skirt, maroon flowy top and a simple tanktop, I got all year to look good.
comment by Kayla — August 29, 2008

First day of law school (eek!) so will def go preppy chic - hair cut in bob with straight blunt fringe. thick classic tortoise plastic framed eye glasses, red/white/green/navy plaid short sleeved silk blouse with puffy sleeves and bow at the neck, navy grandpa cardigan with brown leather buttons, wool pleated above the knee shirt and gold ballet flats.
comment by Natee — August 29, 2008

On the first day….. It’s cute jeans, white tank and a blue plaid jacket. Plus some funky braclets and all that jazz.

comment by Paig — August 29, 2008

Ahh the return to school. I sadly as most of everyone does, put a little too much thought into my first day attire. Completely forgetting that the first year of college means making a total fool of yourself. I wore my favorite deep purple short flutter sleeve shirt with a keyhole back and a three button-up neck layered over a black tank top, along with dark long jeans, a pair of my favorite leather UO ballet flats and a bracelet with coins from all over the world on it. As I said. I little overthought. ALthough, it wasn’t a bad first day. Who knows… maybe it’s the magical perfect outfit?
comment by Noelle — August 29, 2008

I’m starting dental school in a couple weeks (!!!) so I’ll most likely be wearing a nice, long white coat covering up any cuteness I would attempt to wear underneath. Such cuteness would probably be my “ketchup and mustard outfit” which essentially consists of a bright yellow, off-the-shoulder top (think Grease’s Pink Ladies meet the sun) and a short red bubble skirt made from recycled fabrics. And my most sensible shoes - purple pointy flats covered in rhinestones (think 2nd grade art project bomb going off over a pair of purple, pointy shoes). Since I’m starting dental school and all, I would obviously top it all off with these earrings I just bought from FF! http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=4189&cat=283 xxx
comment by j. ko — August 29, 2008

i have no idea what i’m wearing yet… i’ve only been on a shopping run once and picked up two things and a pair of shoes that don’t fit me. hopefully i’ll find me “the perfect cardigan” i’ve been looking for all summer, but at this point i’m thinking about a grey shimmery skirt i found thrifting and a blue honorary title tee i got at their concert in nyc a few weeks ago. i still have a few more days to decide…
comment by ang — August 29, 2008

I already had my firstie, and for it I wore my fav pair of shoes, gladiator sandles chicka chicka yeah! Also a pair of denim skinnies and a brown tank, a crazy necklace, and that coach purse my lovely auntie gave me.
comment by Megdalina — August 29, 2008

i wore… jeans rainbow flip flops a purple shirt with a grey pinstripe vest. i thought i looked cute. just moved to tampa florida from los angeles. yay me! its freekin hot here!
comment by Laura — August 29, 2008

My first day of school was Monday. I love the first day of school. I love figuring out which hot guy to sit next to in my classes. hehehe. Anyway, I wore a mint green deep-v shirt from American Apparel, dark blue skinny jeans and a Paul Frank purse. Art history isn’t lookin’ so bad this semester!
comment by Jillith — August 29, 2008

It’s going to be my senior year of college, and I am so Over dressing up for class! I will probably just were jeans and a sweatshirt because all that really matters is graduating so I don’t have to back anymore!
comment by Kenna — August 29, 2008

On my first day of school I am wearing my amazing new jeans that I love. Then I will pair that with a cute 1/4 sleeve top. And my shoes, can’t forget those, my Betsyville flats with skull and bow.
comment by Sarah — August 29, 2008

That backpack is absolutely feroc! It’s a total jem. I start school on that Wednesday that the winners will be announced. Winning would be an absolutely fantastic start to a crazy school year!
comment by Amy — August 29, 2008

vintage swim trunks my fav gay boy gave me, a comfy tee & ratty chucks <3 you fred flare
comment by ai — August 29, 2008

So, I’m not in el school-o anymore, but I will be going back to work! I work in the art dept of a tv production, so I’ll probably be casual. Layers…black tank top, black tube top dress(floral), blue jeans and my black and white converse.
comment by Elizabeth — August 29, 2008

Being pretty hot outside, I wore a summery floral tanktop with my favorite cuffed jean shorts and paired it with some brown boots. I got three compliments so it must have worked!
comment by Kathryn — August 29, 2008

well im 22 and out of school, but i do have a cute outfit planned when i go see my friends i will wear this top http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51p20j5whDL._SS260_.jpg and this pencil skirt http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31y1-tkhkRL._SS260_.jpg with my chucks i had since high school and a bright yellow scarf, how totes cute is this outfit??
comment by ab — August 29, 2008

I think I’ll just wear the usual. A cardboard box and some red cowboy boots. Why? What will you wear?
comment by Maddie — August 29, 2008

On the first day back, I wore a bright purple Lacoste polo and a pair of seafoam green Soundgirl shorts. I also wore a pair of Tevas. The look was fun, but also comfy!
comment by Lauren — August 29, 2008

I always tried to play it cool and wear my new school clothes but still look casual so people didn’t think I was wearing my new school clothes! Silly. I’d typically go for jeans with a cute shirt and cute shoes. If I went back to school, I think I’d wear something cute from Fred Flare!
comment by Amy Cluck — August 29, 2008

I’m not too sure about the outfit, but I’m definitely going to throw on my black chunky heels! They’re adorable and people will think I grew this summer!
comment by Jocelyn — August 29, 2008

On my first day of college I wore this blue shirt with the bright bold pink words “HI” printed on it. It used to be a lot brighter but I’ve worn it so much. Anyway I wore it because in the past it helped me make friends and was a great ice breaker. This year it proved to still be such a thing!
comment by Sam — August 29, 2008

I will wear an old stock vintage skirt and top in a blue tiki print, with vintage heels and knee-hi’s when I take my daughter to school on her first day. But no one will notice what I am wearing because I will be hidden behind a stack of pink boxes filled with goodies for the fisrt day of school.
comment by sparklegem — August 29, 2008

My first day back at college was on this past Wednesday. I wore a fierce Gap skirt (never thought you’d hear fierce and Gap in the same sentence, did you?), white with a grayish blue paisley, a white ribbed tank, and a sweet white-with-dark-gray-stripes vest that I picked up for $12 at the Garment District in Boston, MA. I added a pair of tan ballet flats from Target and a bag picked up from Century 21 in NYC (white with tan leather accents and little blue and brown flowers).
comment by Theresa — August 29, 2008

I haven’t started school yet but when I do I’ll wear dark jeans, a new ( and very cute) shirt, and cool necklace.
comment by Mallory — August 29, 2008

I would love to start wearing my fall items (it’s my favorite season!), but seeing as though I am in California, and the weather is still quite warm and sticky, I will end up wearing a summer outfit instead. I’m picturing myself in my black sun dress, the one with a slightly more fitted bodice and flowy skirt and strappy shoulder ties. It’s printed with a bohemian, wild flower pattern that reminds me of open fields and crisp mountain air. I’ll look down on it often to daydream of where I would prefer to be. I’ll probably pair it with my gold gladiators, a thin, simple cardigan (to combat the exaggerated air conditioning), pretty dangly earrings, and cool shades. And a brown leather saddle bag, to complete the retro hippie vibe. Hmmm. Describing it makes me want to wear it right now…!
comment by Carla Paola — August 29, 2008

Living on the gulf coast of Alabama means hot hot hot humidity. For my first day of class in the middle of muggy august I just wore a simple jersey knit skirt with cute little pockets and a bright purple polo top. I carried my favourite le sport sac bag and wore a gold necklace with a granny apple charm that I got from an adorable boutique in New Orleans. I always try to look nice and neat for school while still retaining subtle elements of my style. All of this is really hard when you have to walk so far to class and it is truly a billion degrees outside. I’ve been drooling over that backpack but being the poor college student I am I don’t have the funds to break my bank for it.

comment by Katherine — August 29, 2008

a 60 inspired glittery black sleeveless turtleneck dress, black leggings, egyptian sandals, and my chanel eye glasses so i look stylish and smart.
comment by jo — August 29, 2008

shoulder pads. I heard they’re in.
comment by julie — August 29, 2008

I plan to wear on my first day of school (unless I buy new clothes) my pink pants pink long-sleeved layering shirt with my burgendy polo over it with my coral colored flats and my spin-me earrings! I would LOVE to win the backpack! I want a new backpack but I haven’t been able to find a cool one. Only Hannah Montana, and Camp Rock. Bleck. Not a good way to start your freshman year!
comment by Chelsea — August 29, 2008

I’d definitely wear pajamas if I was still in school. Or my viking helmet or wizard’s hat… Too many choices!
comment by Stephanie — August 29, 2008

I’m starting college next week and since I’m in a fashion buisness course, what to wear will be a particularly tough choice. I’m thinking of wearing something that says “fashionable but casual” haha. I just moved to the city so I’m dying to check out all the vintage stores, maybe I’ll find something perfect for my first day. Can’t wait to start my education in fashion!!
comment by Rachel — August 29, 2008

I still haven’t hit up the 2 part, ah-mazing King of Prussia Mall, but I plan to center my outfit around my rockin’ Pumas or my moccasins? I already got a huge suede hobo bag to maintain my rep as “that girl with the obnoxiously large bags.” Gotta love it. I heart FF.
comment by Ceci — August 29, 2008

i started school recently and i simply wore some dark washed jeans, a tunic length black shirt, a black cardigan that i pinned a large bow brooch, and low top converse. i was going for a laid back but i still thought about it enough type of look. i mean, i have an 8am class on MWF so i try to pick something out that is easy to convert into napping clothes… lol.
comment by ariane — August 29, 2008

On my VERY FIRST day of school - plaid jumper and white button down shirt, leather mary janes, and one of those insanely huge clips with tons of spiral-y ribbons (think gift wrapping). and a big goofy smile, of course! little did i know i would cut many a whole in my nice new uniform by cutting in my lap. woops. i kinda miss the simplicity of uniforms now that i’m in ‘the real world’… but do not miss the ugly button down shirts and shoes I had to wear in middle school and high school. Cramped my style!!
comment by Kelly — August 29, 2008

first day of school, sixth grade, 1990: yellow leggings, a bart simpson shirt, clear jellies. can’t get classier than that!
comment by roxanne — August 29, 2008

classic and simple: my sevens skinny jeans, white AA v neck, seychelle chunky blue heels!
comment by megan — August 29, 2008

I’m still in high school, so sadly the first day is still a big deal to me. not sure exactly what i’m wearing yet, but i’m groovin’ on gray wash denim lately… and sweet accessories fo sho. :) FF<3
comment by Ada — August 29, 2008

OMG! Well, on the first day I knew everyone would be dressing it up, and I wanted to look cute, but be comfy casual too. So, I wore my fav. hello kitty top that my sister got me years ago, and long brown shorts to match. and sadly i slummed it with flip flops, but i felt super cute and i was really comfortable. plus! I had my new colored pencils that I got from FF http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=2899&cat=312 and they are FABULOUS!
comment by Monica — August 29, 2008

I’ll be wearing a government issued uniform topped off with naughty Britney Spears inspired pink-puff ponytails. Will you marry me Fred Flare?
comment by Viviana — August 29, 2008

i just started my first day of classes in college yesterday. AH. the majority of the people here wear sweats and shirts with the school’s logo on it. yea.. not my thing, despite my school spirit and all

instead, since the weather was kinda cool, i wore my white long sleeve shirt with the words “je t’aime <3″ on it, cute dark jeans, and a red jacket to match the heart on the shirt

and cute accessories were a must of course!
comment by isleyn — August 29, 2008

I would plan it all out the night before. My sweet painted chucks with bright purple tights and a pair of super silly jean cuffed shorts and my awesome mutant ninja turtles t-shirt and of course a seat feathery hat! but i would wake up late and when i get to school i would realize i was naked.. and be very embarrassed.
comment by Kaite — August 29, 2008

keeping it simple…. plum v neck top, black TRIPP skinny jeans, black BLOWFISH sandals and a gold dove charm necklace.
comment by monica — August 29, 2008

Okay okay, what I wore?! I wore a CUTE yellow vneck! mhm you bet!

With some skinny jeans, + some really cute black boots! Seriosuly! Plus I paired it with an Andy Warhol tote, which I TRUELY adore! I pretty much loved my 1st day, which I totally rocked it! Yay! :)
comment by Jen — August 29, 2008

I still have a few days of summer freedom left, but for the first day, I’m going to wear a high waisted denim skirt with a white tank, cropped black cardi, red flats, and my ff cherry earrings!
comment by Libby — August 29, 2008

class started for me on monday and i wore an AA deep v with my favorite pair of J-Brand jeans, and some cheap flip flops. However, without a super cute back back to lug around all my art supplies and my enormous microbiology book, i just look like every other frumpy gal on campus. <3!
comment by cara b — August 29, 2008

I usually end up wearing my favorite couple purchases from over the summer

comment by Shannon — August 29, 2008

PINK!! A pink pencil skirt, tank top with a photograph of two lame kids in love (girl wearing a pink hat), and blue Pumas (don’t want everyone to vomit due to pink overload).
comment by Valentina — August 29, 2008

I really wish I still had a first day of school to dress up for!
comment by Martine — August 29, 2008

i am a kindergarten teacher and i am going back to school for my 2nd year of teaching. my first year was totally crazy, but i love my job. i always try to stay stylish but comfy since i’m up and down and on the floor and all over the place every day. for my first day back, when i meet my new little monsters, i plan on wearing a cute vested dress. it’s got puffy sleeves, it’s cream colored with brown polka dots. the vest hits just at empire waist and the dress comes to just above the knee. i want to be cute & comfortable for my first day back!

comment by lisa griguoli — August 29, 2008

Alright, so Im the same jen who commeneted above, though I wanted to say Im in highschool still… well to be exsact I attend a college. I really love FF, its AWSOME! Plus, I’m kinda glad none of my friends know about FF… not trying to be mean, but I just love it! Just makes me happy I have the cutest stuffs outta all of us! lolzzz =p But seriously, keep the great job going ! + the cute stuff too! <333
comment by Jen — August 29, 2008

I’m gonna rock my green tank top, with my supa skinny black H&M jeans and my orange and green checkerboard half-cab Vans. First day of middle school is high-presh and I need to represent to uphold the family rep…my sis and bros have set the standards high!
comment by josie — August 29, 2008

I went sort of classic this year. I had a jean mini, with a white lace cami, and a tealish sweater henley. I love it

comment by Helen — August 29, 2008

UH-MAZING backpack! This year, I’ll be sporting some haute protest gear for the Republican National Convention happening in my own backyard, the Twin Cities (specifically St. Paul).
comment by Jakki — August 29, 2008

I haven’t actually given it much thought yet but I think a dress will probably best since comfort is key for the 1st day. I’ve got a black & white strapless one with a tribal looking print all over. I’ll top it off with a short sleeve cropped black blazer and brown leather gladiator-like sandals. Possibly a white rose in my hair and of course my trademark neon orange backpack to spice it up !
comment by Emily — August 29, 2008

I had that stereotypical dream where I dreamt I wore nothing to the first day of school. When I woke up, I thought, how silly of me! What, do I live in a teen movie now? Of course, then I started to second guess myself and thought I might still be dreaming while I was awake. Maybe I -had- gone to school, been naked, and fainted from the shock and now I’m dreaming that I was wrong and it wasn’t true. Unless I’m still dreaming, I got my clothes on fine and it’s the third day of school for me today : )
comment by Claudia — August 29, 2008

For the first day I would wear an “I heart New York” t-shirt, and my dark wash skinny jeans. And my red ballet flats to match the heart on the shirt

comment by Emily — August 29, 2008

I’m actually planning on wearing a purple frock that looks strikingly similar to the Carylon dress you carry. To accompany my home-made dress, I am wearing chunky gold hoop earrings and flat black boots, with an always cute messy ponytail!
comment by Katie R — August 29, 2008

I’ll we strutting down the pathways at Bryn Mawr College in a Michael Kors designed black and white, giraffe print halter top with black set-in studs paired with black mid-calf leggings and snakeskin print Jack Roger’s sandals.
comment by Lee Wacker — August 29, 2008

Well I’m turning 23 next month and am out of school now *but* when I was in school I used to dress up in party dresses with bows in my hair, was a huge fan of red tights and mary janes, the whole nine yards. My birthday almost always fell within the first week of school [sometimes the first day] all throughout elementary and high school and I absolutely hated having to go to school on my birthday and the fact that people were usually too busy to go to a party when they were running around with school stuff that whole first week. So to not be perpetually bummed by that, I’d I’d make going to school my own little fun party!

comment by jayna — August 29, 2008

what i wear on the first day of school is my uniform. its boring just a plain polo shirt with black shorts. but i like to jazz it up with a cute hoodie and jewlery. i buy most of my stuff her on fred flare!
comment by jayna — August 29, 2008

i start school at UC Santa Cruz in September. Since it is the land of forest and baby deer, i plan on dressing like a lumber jack (but i’m still going to shave my legs). white mini tent tress, grey thigh high socks, doc martens, and a plaid button down. HEAVE HO!
comment by vivian — August 29, 2008

It was weird. the first day of school for me was my first day of college. I think i wore jeans i don’t remember what shirts i wore. But, I’m the kind of girl that refuses to wear just a regular t-shirt. like those band t-shirts. i wear the cute ones that are fitted. i actually think that’s what i wore..a fitted t-shirt. it was really cute. i also wore my “key to my heart” necklace and the earrings that my boyfriend gave me for Christmas. I curled my hair.
comment by Haleigh — August 29, 2008

comment by sophie — August 29, 2008

I kept it pretty casual, since it was my first day for walking around campus to all of my classes! I wore jeans, flip flops, and a cute orange shirt with butterflies on it. It was a pretty good day

comment by Amy — August 29, 2008

I’m a creative writing major, so for my first day of school I wore jeans with holes in the knees and a new-old tee that I got at a garage sale, and of course some sweet jewelry I got from my favorite site!
comment by Madeline — August 29, 2008

My first day of class was also my first day of work, and my work uniform is ugly navy scrubs (I work in an emergency department). Even though I had work right after class, I managed to avoid wearing scrubs in public. I wore a grey and white polka-dot cardigan and the cutest pair of skinny jeans ever. Flats and a bag big enough to hold books and scrubs did it for me.
comment by Ashley — August 29, 2008

i wore a very high waisted blue geometric shape printed skirt, that poofs out quite a bit! i wore very high closed toe heels (black!!) that remind me a bit of alice in wonderland. tucked into the skirt was a deep black v neck. big long lashessssss!
comment by lovely darling — August 29, 2008

I wore a black band tshirt that said I BOWTIE RK (rilo kiley), skinny dark jeans, and black chuck taylors.
comment by Kellea — August 29, 2008

I have been out of school for 2 years, so I’m going to pretend that my first day back is some time in the fall. I would wear this dress: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johannaonvideo/2767333144/ with black tights, black heeled lace-up wing tips, this bag: http://flickr.com/photos/krisatomic/2305642908/in/set-72157594553606329/ and a gray cardigan. I’m into the blacks /greys /dusty pinks thrown together lately. Coffee required!
comment by Johanna — August 29, 2008

I’m planning on wearing my Togepi [pokemon] dress. It was a cosplay I did at an anime convention. The dress for it was actually cute just by itself; and I’m usually known for wearing crazy things.
comment by Brandi — August 29, 2008

For my first day of college, I wore khaki slacks, and a blue and white cardigan with silver buttons. I wore a pair of simple white flats and completed this collegiate look with earrings in the shape of crests. =)
comment by Olivia — August 29, 2008

I WISH I had a picture of this…. I wore a Pixies t-shirt with a long black button up cardigan over it, a bright red pencil skirt, and black peeptoe heels (not too high, otherwise finding my classes would have proved incredibly difficult)
comment by Stephanie — August 29, 2008

I LOVE LOVE LOVE fred flare! I would definatly have a job there if I only lived in NY!! Start something in ATL and I am TOTALLY there. I am 17, a senior in highschool and i canNOT WAIT to graduate in May! I like to have a unique style, but I don’t have a label (those are for soup cans anyways!) I wear what I like and I like everything mostly. Who doesnt love a little spice their senior year?!
comment by Cody — August 29, 2008

Going back to school means making a entrance. Well I want to be the Grand Finale. So I’ll walk in 15 minutes before the bell rings. Starting from My head I would have to have a nice sleek hair style (head band maybe). Earrings simple choice studs. So that my outfit is the main focus. Black and Teal top from Urban Outfitters or American Apparel with my skinny jeans a pair of Creative Recreations and a Plum or Grey Amicci Doctor dooright bag.
comment by DARION — August 29, 2008

I have been waaaay into Mary Tyler Moore lately, thus my fall fashion inspiration is Rhoda Morgenstern, Mary’s best friend and upstairs neighbor. She moved to Minniapolis from the Bronx and has both the attitude and fashion to prove it. I picked up a wine red 70s shortsleeved sweater with tassle ties, which I plan to wear overa creme blouse with my brown highwaisted cords tucked in to my tan knee high boots. Of course the Rhoda look would never be complete without piling on the gold jewelery, hoops bangles and a chunky necklace with a medallion charm.
comment by Sara — August 29, 2008

i’ll probably end up wearing very-short-but-not-too-short denim shorts with a acid-wash v-neck and a yellow cardigan over it with moccasins that i just got from portugal and maybe ill pair it all off with a cute patterned bandanna around my neck. But school doesn’t start until the first week of september for me, so i’m happy about that.
comment by nicole — August 29, 2008

Anything from FF! <3 :3
comment by Megan — August 29, 2008

Not sure about the first day yet…But I am eyeing those Betsey Johnson legwarmers, and the downtown clutch at FF is hawt.
comment by Mindy — August 29, 2008

My first day back to school is on Tuesday and I am planning on wearing a super cute peasant top with big bold polka dots, a pair of bermutas and my red suede keds. If it is cool enough I will also wear my awesome elbow length white sweater.:] I must be honest and say that I long thought wearing peasant tops would make me look pregnant but the other day in the store someone made me try one on and it made me feel super cute, and actually made me look thinner. I <3 FF
comment by Christi — August 29, 2008

I’m planning on going with turquoise chuck-taylors (perfect for walking around my big campus!), dark denim skinny jeans, a loose gray tank top with little red flowers, and a little shrug-cardigan with a bird patch on the shoulder. more importantly, i’ll be wearing my favorite, giant fake-antique ring because everyone needs a little cheap bling for confidence!
comment by stephanie ann — August 29, 2008

This is the first semester in a log while that I dont have to go to school! (I graduated in May after 7 years) So in anticipation of the new school year, I sent my sister and good friend, both first year teachers small tokens of support! I also began studying for my GRE, because I just can’t get enough of school and can’t wait to go back.
comment by Ronnie — August 29, 2008

This is a toughie. I usually don’t plan my outfits, just jeans and plain AA shirt. But I am pretty excited about classes starting soon and a little backpack full of surprises wouldn’t hurt…:)
comment by Karen — August 29, 2008

Let’s see…..it was 1979….first day of high school. I had brand new tight Sergio Valente jeans (before the girls started wearing) and a tri-colored striped button-up shirt from GHQ. The feet were covered in royal blue lace-up Vans. I thought I was so cool. The guys hated me. The girls loved me. Not a bad deal.
comment by Johnny Harris — August 29, 2008

Well, I myself will wear an Urban Outfitters super cool tank, lucky brand jeans, and OF COURSE my trusty Minnetonka driving moccasins. Oh, and to top things off-white wayfarer sunglasses only from the great and wonderful Fred Flare!
comment by Mariana O'Rourke — August 29, 2008

oh, fellow brooklynites, haven’t you learned? it isn’t what you wear, it’s *how you wear it*…with that in mind, i thought i’d break out my john paul ziller-esque loincloth and call it a day. who needs school when you have the new york public library?
comment by sarah — August 29, 2008

Peep toe flats. Skinny Jeans. A stripped turtle neck shirt. Brand new hair.

I’ll be going for jewelry design so I plan to wear something simple like a tshirt and jeans with a nice pair of shoes. Then I’ll put on my craziest set of jewelry!

For my first day of school, I’ll be wearing a black wifebeater, a gray tweed vest, skinny jeans, & some Nike Vandals. As for accessories, I’ll be wearing my Fred Flare heart doorknockers & “risky business” sunglasses. Because Fred Flare helps me stay cute! (:
comment by Melissa — August 29, 2008

hmmm i havent thought about what im going to wear my first day but this got me thinking… i think my wardrobe desperately needs an update since im starting fresh as a freshman i think my clothes should portray that too, so probably jeans, vans or rainbows then hopefully something new!! i love fred flare and all the cool things that make life more fun.
comment by Alyssa — August 29, 2008

OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD. I am like so wearing THE cutest outfit ever. Okay so. The plan is to wear this dress, like it’s kinda like the ones on Fred Flare - I showed it to my mom and she thinks it’s kind of skanky, but I was like whateverrr! And maybe neon leggings, fishnet, because the one I have are soooo, fetch. What do you think, guys? Am I gonna look hot or WHAT? HOLLAAAAAAAAA!

I wore a suit just to try to get some attention. And it DID!
comment by Jason — August 29, 2008

I’m no longer in school, but the first day of kindergarten, many years ago, I wore my standard “long t-shirt with the left side tied up” and leggings. My mom braided my hair, which was actually too short to be braided, so I had little strands sticking straight up.
comment by Jodi — August 29, 2008

I just graduated from college…but I will soon be a teacher’s assistant in a pre-school classroom. I plan on wearing some plain brown pants, a plaid, short sleeve button down shirt with ruffles down the buttons, a nice warm cardigan and some suede loafers.

My one and only child started Kindergarten this year! She wore the cutest little school uniform - a khaki jumper with a light blue polo shirt underneath, white socks and navy maryjane shoes. How adorable she looked! I had to have been the proudest mama at school that morning!!!
comment by Jenny — August 29, 2008

i wore a hand made self-designed dress and some rockin’ red vintage shoes!
comment by Emily — August 29, 2008

I was so excited for fall one year, I showed up at school with layered up crazy long sleeved shirt and ringer t-shirts under plaid flannel button ups I stole from my brother (90’s!!) and rocked some vintage levi’s with blue Doc Martens. I was roasting but loved every minute of it!
comment by Kelly — August 29, 2008

I will be wearing… Idk yet I really don’t think that far ahead. I want to get a deepish vneck sweater. If I do I’d wear it with black shorts and a small teal clutch that doubles as a messengerish bag. Yay!
comment by jackyyyyyyyyy — August 29, 2008

My first day back was on monday August 25th and though many people are dressing up my intention was to be comfortable. I wore a pair of light blue skinny jeans, dark purple flats and a red shirt that had love and the peace sign on it. Im sixteen years old and am a junior, this year is one of the most important in my academic career and I wanted it to start out right. My feedback for you guys is that you guys are awesome and have the most amazing tatse in styles.
comment by Natasha T — August 29, 2008

I plan on wearing a grey v-neck I bought from h & m, with a white long underwear material wife beater underneath. I keep switching back from turquoise shorts, to a pair of skinny jeans. With the shorts I’ll wear a cute pair of flip flops but with the jeans I’ll have to go with my neon pink beach shoes. I have a green sparkly purse I’ve been obsessed with all summer, so I’ll definitely have that with me, no matter what. I have a metallic black bead mardi gras style necklace that I like to pair with the v-neck, so I might throw it on as well. My nails are going to be an obnoxious red to throw it all off. Can’t wait to see some of my friends!
comment by kiwi — August 29, 2008

I go to a private Lutheran school so we have to wear a uniform. Plain colors, no patterns, stripes or anything fun like that.

I do try to jazz mine up with my own personal style and attitude though! Joanna

Well… http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm14/bethpostspics/bethoutfit.jpg I’m both a student and a TA, so it’s two ‘first days’ for me…I’ll be wearing an awesomely-bright vintage French “Tourisme et Travail” sweater (not sure what the organisation …is…but it has crazy pockets in the back…), a mod vintage David Crystal checkered skirt, and shiney red metallic leggings…with yellow patent flats. Very crayola, I know. Hah.

I’m thinking I’ll go with an unbuttoned cowboy flannel, with a white wifebeater underneath, dark skinny jeans, gladiator sandals, a silver plated brass knuckles necklace, and (of course) my fred flare cassette tape tote–because I haven’t worn a backpack in close to a year! Woooo hooooo!!

I wore dark wash flared jeans with these awesome white patent t-strap flats. I wore a basic tank that tied in back and of course brought a long sleeve camel colored cardigan because the classrooms are always ridiculously cold! As a senior in college I go for the casual look! No longer do I feel the need to spend a lot of time getting ready for class or wearing heels all over campus! Cute casual and trendy doesn’t have to be painful or time consuming!
comment by Abby — August 29, 2008

hmm.. well i guess im just goin casual.. all my friends are all worried with what theyre gonna wear. it is understandalbe though.. we’re starting highschool! im gonna wear skinny jeans with my converses. and probably a button down shortsleeve lumberjack like shirt with a studbelt i think. and of course my lucky bracelet. and i still dont have a backpack so i hope i win!
comment by KAT — August 29, 2008

On my first day of kindergarten I wore my black Doc Marten high top boots along with the flower girl dress i wore in a wedding over the summer. I was so proud of it. I would like to thank my parents for giving their 5 year old a way to express themselves without worrying what the neighbors thought. I only wish I had a picture to share.
comment by Molly — August 29, 2008

I’ll probably wear my striped blue cardigan, with a nice warm grey wooly vest over the top. It’s been suprisingly chilly for late summer.. Oh, and definitely my “buddy glasses”! Despite the fact that they’re fake, I’m going to convince everyone this year that I actually am sight-impaired.
comment by Caitlin — August 29, 2008

i want to do something simple but that would also stand out, so i’m going for a fuschia halter top with a silk band at the bottom, black denim shorts, strappy black sandals, a crown necklace my mom brought me back from reno, and a stack full of random bracelets… also my clear risky biz sunglasses will be on and off for the whole geek chic look :]

I graduated from college a couple years back, but I’m totally crushing on this sexy young thang that stopped in the store I work at yesterday.

I wore a blue checkered dress with pink shoes (what a rebel) and carried a Minnie Mouse backpack. Of course, this was my VERY first day of school, September 1987. However, if I win, I promise anything from this backpack that is appropriate for her will go to my lil’ cousin. I’ll just keep that which is *super* adorable for me.

comment by Kaitlyn — August 29, 2008

Well I never wore anything more fantastic to school then the typical boring stuff my mom shoved me into but there were a few things I remember. When I was starting 3rd grade I had wanted these super big hoop earrings like my Aunt (who was in High School so she was automatically my fashion idol-she introduced me to the awesomeness of pegged pants!) had, but of course I was “too young” blah blah. So I had these little hoop earrings and a few bangles and I though–Ta Da big hoop earrings! So I put the bangles on the little hoops and I so thought I was rockin with those and my as poofy as I could get them bangs. Apparently the teacher didn’t think so and I ended up getting in trouble cause she called my mom. Now that I think about it I think all the times I got in trouble it was cause of clothes and such…. Like in Kindergarten when one of the girls brought in her moms make up and we did make overs, and then did the same thing again in 2nd grade. And neon anything! I totally rocked the double neon socks and T-Shirts with the ring bunchy thingys. Or in first grade when the boys took their shirts off in Gym I thought it was so totally ok to do the same thing. Man I was a bit of a rebel girl wasn’t I!? He he…

i wore a bright green, full bodied dinosaur suit on my first day mainly because i had to go to work immediately after class.

going to go with the classic blue jeans paired with a white v-neck tee. my moccasin booties and many bangles will be really cute accesories.
comment by Marissa — August 29, 2008

My name is Arianna and I am going to be starting my sophomore year on the 6th! Every year no matter how many supplies or no matter how much work still needs to be done, the outfit for the first day is still the most stressful part. With my luck if I pick out a cute sweater, it will be ninety degrees. If I pick out a nicer outfit, I’ll spill my lunch all over it. Of course I never get any sleep the night before school so all I want to do is throw on some sweats and a T-shirt ! I did have in mind however my super cute purple top, capris, and my Betsey Johnson jellies. 80’s is how I roll. Nothing beats running around trying to find your class while your tootsies are screaming, but they are adorable. Who knows? That morning if I’m really up for the sweats idea, then so be it. Either way that luncharific backpack would be the star of the show ! ; )
comment by Arianna — August 29, 2008

Wowzer! I’m not in school anymore but this backpack totally makes me want to enroll quick fast and in a hurry. I’m in the Corporate cube but I often take art classes to balance myself and feel connected in this world. If I ever meet the people behind Fred Flare it’s all types of high fives going down for being so awesome. Hey who says a 26 yr old can’t rock a backpack?!
comment by Sunshine — August 29, 2008

I started on the 25th. I wore a tealish Sesame Street tank top over top of a gray and white striped tee shirt, and a knee length stretchy bright blue skirt. I wore purple sparkly flats and little bow earrings, and a little flower ring.
comment by Miranda — August 29, 2008

I wore a Dark Knight shirt with The JOker’s face on it with some brown shorts and some vans. I try to keep it relaxed. I carried all my stuff in a bag I got from my boyfriend, who ordered it from FF! Oh, and I used all of the little FF pouches to organize my purse!
comment by Raquel — August 29, 2008

i’m starting my first term of graduate school so i’m planning to wear something totally sophisticated with a touch of whimsy. i’m thinking my pencil-skirt plaid dress with the sweetheart neckline, brown tights, brown boots, and a feathered headband. of course, this backpack would only complete my look! i love you, fred flare.

comment by chelsea — August 29, 2008

Sadly, my first day of school has yet passed.. Not realizing that my school picture was going to be taken i didn’t exactly think about what i was going to wear, hence my not even remembering it. I think it was something black.. with gray.. O right, a cute dress (bow and pleads included) yet combined with Vans. I sound like I suck at putting together my first-day-of-school-which-also-happens-to-be-the-day-my-pictre-gets-taken-outfits and I guess I do, indeed. But hey, maybe I just can’t sort out who I even am.
comment by Sofie — August 29, 2008

My name is Carissa and i am a mere fifteen years old: ) i started school two days ago. On my first day it was very very toasty outside so i sported a plaid blue strapless dress with a white cardigan from nordstrom B.P. over it. For accessories i had a real cute white headband with a bow on it, as well as a suuper cute necklace of an origami crane: ) i had to carry all of my books around with me, because of course, on the first day of school my ginormous leather brown bag’s straps broke! i had to keep all of my things in a plastic target bag my teacher lent to me, it was awful!

On the first day of school I wore shorts with a graphic tee that said bon jour. Over that I wore a black track jacket. I wore white knee high socks and animal print chuck taylors. I love this store. The things on this website are cool. When it was Christmas I was watching Uncommon THreads I made everything that Fredflare team made. I still have the gingerbread house.

For the first day of class, i’ll rock cute matching undergarments that no one will see. On top of which i’ll wear skinny jeans, my t-shirt i got while in cambodia this summer, a scarf given to me by villagers there and … flip flops

comment by joyce — August 29, 2008

I wore a bright Ticonderoga Pencil yellow dress with billowy sleeves covered in black polka dots! I was missing my two front teeth. The photo of me is still on my father’s desk at work. (I am now 29.) The reason this outfit was such a hit? I live in Pittsburgh, PA - Black and Gold Steeler country. Needless to say, I wish this back to school outfit would just go away

comment by Lee Anne — August 29, 2008

My first day of college, I wore a dark gray tank, black skinny jeans, and a white and black bandana with skulls around my neck. It was super cute. I’m 18 years of age and I’m not exactly sure what I want to major in just yet. I’m deciding on either art studio or media art. I love art and writing. Movies. Photography. Anything that really strikes my heart. Stars, the moon, clouds, nature. Rain. Lightning and Thunder. The ocean… Woooop =)

I totally sported the raddest outfit on the first day of school. I wore some dark washed skinny jeans and a uber awesome top I had bought just two days before. The top looked amazing and I loved the outfit. I wore a gray cardigan on top and I couldn’t have looked any better. I also wore some black pirate boots I bought in Broad Ripple, IN.

school won’t start till the 30th of Sept. for me! But I’m thinking something a long the lines of my grey skinny jeans, black shiny flats, red kashmir longsleeve top, with a black vest and my trusty cassette tape necklace, gold watch, and gold mini hoop eearings.

Oh, and my badass motorcycle jacket and flannel scarf.

I’ve started with school a week ago. I wanted a complete cool new look. I still end up buying skinny jeans and tees with some cartoon or some other silly print on it. I wore a skinny jeans, my All Stars with flowers on it and a soft pink Little Miss Little Men tee which I bought at the Lowlands festival, I wore pink apple earrings. I also wore a purple (!) backpack and a bright red coat with white buttons.

I have to say that I love rainbows and Mickey Mouse! So I’ll be wearing a beautiful shirt with one or the other, colored pants and a white pair of schoolyard snekears. Oh! And for cold protection I’ll be wearing my mother’s red sweater, with pearl buttons.

comment by emily — August 29, 2008

I am a ninja, but I have to keep my identity hidden from everybody so I can’t show up at school in my full ensemble on. On my first day of school I ended up struting my stuff in a pair of blue/black skinny jeans, a plain white t-shirt, custom made visions!, a dinosaur/ford seatbelt belt, and my overly huge sunglasses. I also rocked some purple eyeshawdow, which didn’t match my outfit! Overall, no one expect I had a double life.

Because all my clothes are in the laundry and school starts tomorrow I will have to wear my chicken costume from work. I guess I just know how to make the best first impressions… XD
comment by nekoooo — August 29, 2008

I wore jean shorts that I sewed a big heart pocket in a flower print on the back. On the shorts, I wore suspenders (my dad’s) that I let hang down. On top I wore my all purpose white v-neck t-shirt with a colorful sports bra underneath. Oh, and black and white tie Van’s cause I’m from California and Van’s are pretty much a staple accessory here. Plus, I had to skateboard to school, so my longboard was another cool accessory. It’s got a reggae print on the bottom.

Let’s see, even though I don’t start for another 3 weeks, I already know I’ll be wearing my black chucks that I’ve had since 9th grade, my skinny black jeans, a white V-neck with a striped black and gray cardigan. And to top it all off, my navy buddy holly glasses

comment by Sonia — August 29, 2008

I’m gunna wear these ridiculously tight, hot pink skinny jeans tucked into my high top converse that I painted over, a band tee, a vest, tease my hair up and put on a bow. Basically dress like a total scene kid. Then on the second day, I have cute jean shorts, ballet flats, a cami and a cardigan so it’s very preppy. That way I can show people I dress however I want, and not what they think is right.
comment by Michelle — August 29, 2008

the weather here is all over the place during fall, so it really depends. if it is cold i’ll wear this boys size 10-12 windbreaker with little hockey players all over it i got from a thrift store and some black jeans. if it is warm then i will probably layer tank tops (not spaghetti strap though..they’re inappropriate!) and some longer shorts. maybe i’ll even bust out my new nike high-tops as well. loooove

soo… as i am currently enrolled in a public high school which has recently adopted a new uniform policy [yikes! and it’s my senior year], i will be wearing a black pencil skirt, black tights, a white button up shirt embellished with black buttons, and tan vintage skimmers. a pattern can be clearly seen; BLACK to signify the gloom of my future academic-uniform-filled senior year, but of course my sadness is infused with my style, which would benefit from a rad value meal backpack!

comment by Lam — August 29, 2008

in third grade my mom gave me a spiral perm despite my having, oh about… four inches of (thick!) hair on my head. so i’m this little third grader rockin a full blown afro. as if this wasn’t bad enough i was a bit of a late bloomer and had JUST lost my two front teeth. so with a giant afro and missing front teeth i figured the best thing to do is to wear the most insane outfit i could find to distract from my face/head. so i settled on a pair of hot pink leggings with a knee legenth black sweater covered with neon pink, yellow, green and orange polka dots. i layered my neon socks; pink over orange on the right, orange over pink on the left. then i sealed the deal with my brand new white keds and an armful of neon jelly bracelets. i looked HOT. man… i really miss that outfit.

Hi ! My name is Amanda and I’m 16. My first day of school is September 2 (only 4 days!) and I’m going into grade 12, and since I go to a Catholic School I’ll be wearing my uniform on the first day and everyday

Wearing a uniform isn’t very exciting but at least it’s convenient for giving me more time to sleep in in the mornings instead of planning an outfit I guess. Haha. I think this prize would be amazing to win because that backpack is super cute and would definitely add style to a normally boring uniform. And I’m sure that the prizes inside would be just as amazing and I would hopefully be able to use some of them to spice things up for my long days at school ! I LOVE the stuff you sell in your store and I visit here a lot even when I’m not buying anything, because I am always seeing things I want to buy. And I would buy everything I wanted if i had all the money

But anyways, this sounds like an awesome prize, and I really hope I win it but either way I’ll still be happy with this store and it’s adorable stuff ! Thanks for the opportunity for awesome stuff like this !

‘Ello- I’m Jordan and I’m almost fourteen. Actually, my first day of school also happens to be my birthday, September 3rd. So, for fun I’m wearing one of those chunky crowns because like my mum says, “if you’re not wearing a crown, how would people know to treat you like a queen on your birthday!” Along with the crown I’m wearing a pair of gray skinny jeans, bright purple suspenders, my orange Panic at the Disco shirt, and my purple hoodie. I’ll add some last minute accessories like my gold glass necklace to add some variety in color, just to spunk it up a bit. And we can’t forget a pair of converse that I massacred with my own design. I’m a bucket of color vomit- and I like it like that.

Keeping in fashion, I’m going to mix up my patterns with an Urban Renewal tank with neon pink straps and a dizzying flower print. I’ve got lots of leg tattoos so I don’t need much else and I’ll wear my new ‘elf’ booties I bought in Camden Market while studying abroad this summer. Living in Florida means lots of rain and lots of hot so I think my outfit will be perfect and very deserving of a free backpack full of cool stuff! (I have my eyes on all the great books!) :)

WELL I ALREADY STARTED SCHOOL OUT HERE IN NEW ORLEANS, AND WE HAVE TO WEAR UNIFORMS. I ALSO DIDNT WANT TO GET WRITTEN UP SO I TRYED TO ACCESORIZE WITHOUT BEING ILLEGAL. I BASICALLY HAD THE RAINBOW GLASSES, ALONG WITH THIS METTALIC SILVER NECKLACE I MADE. ALONG WITH THAT I HAD MY FAVORITE BLACK JEWEL RING ON THAT BROUGHT OUT THE HIGH TOP BLACK AND WHITE VANS I WORE. IT WAS PRETTY COOL TO JUST ACCECORIZE THIS UNIFORM WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE. I HOPE I CAN WIN THIS BACKPACK ! <3
comment by Lola — August 29, 2008

Since I go to a catholic school, a white polo shirt with the school skort. for shoes I’ll probably wear my beat up black converse and a cute key necklace I brought over vacation. Nothing crazy but what can I do?
comment by Angelina — August 29, 2008

I wore black skinny jeans, a green t-shirt, a plaid scarf, and feathers in my hair.
comment by Beth — August 29, 2008

I wore my uniform!

I jazzed it up though by wearing some awesome sunglasses and a cute vest!
comment by Maddie — August 29, 2008

For me school starts on the 3rd of September and I’ll be wearing Keds, a reconstructed jazz festival t-shirt, and a pair of levis. Navy Blue Keds- Its sorta been my thing to wear them on the first day of school. I like to wear them through out the year and see how beat up I can get them.Plus they are a classic Jazz Festival T-shirt- Even though its two sizes too big, I’ll be wearing it because of a pact I made with my friends when we got them for helping out at a community event. I’m going to reconstruct it by cutting off the sleeves and making a braided back so i can leave a cool first impression. =D Levis- My favorite!
comment by Diana Nguyen — August 29, 2008

Argh…. i just started going to a school where we have to wear uniforms. We started classes yesterday, and guess what I got to wear? Dress A! Kilt, White oxford, navy knee socks, and black leather shoes. And- best of all, it’s about 80 degrees outside, and it’s humid!!! Help, fredflare! Make my day with a little burgers and friends backpack! Maybe it’ll keep me from jumping into the lake that’s been tantalizing me ever since I got here!!!
comment by Kimothy — August 29, 2008

Hey there. I’m an incoming freshman at UCSD this fall. Because of the sunny socal weather, I’m definetly going to be sportin some flip flops. Of course I’m going for comfort so mines are some Northface flips flops, which are GREAT for running around campus. Can’t go wrong with a light blue polo and some dark jeans to even it all out. And can’t leave without some cool shades like Tom Cruise in risky business:) Ooo, almost forgot, and a cute cassette tote bag. Fo sho.
comment by Eva — August 29, 2008

I plan on wearing my long 3/4 sleeved plaid button up shirt.It’s blue and green. Although I might wear the red one instead. So then I will wear my straight legged jeans under it. Plus my mocassan flats. Probably wear a chunky bracelet and a cute silver hand bag. We have a lot of restrictions on clothes, but I still try to be as fashionably and cute as I can be

I get some of my clothes from Fredflare too, those are fit for the first week also. Ah school!
comment by Emily — August 29, 2008

Oh and of course my Fred Flare School bus tote, I’ll be arriving school with flare. =D
comment by Diana Nguyen — August 29, 2008

I don’t start school till the very end of September, so alot could change by then, but for now I am planning on wearing my favorite acid-wash v-neck tshirt, with some homemade feather and shark teeth earrings. Although I am not sure what bottoms to wear, I have some cool mocassins to rock and a brand new short, choppy haircut to just let go wild!
comment by Victoria — August 29, 2008

I wore a little vintage sleeveless white polyester top with red sailboats on it that I purchased from a thrift store and my blue Jordache jeans. I carried my grandma’s old acid washed book bag from when she used to teach school and wore red suede ballet flats!
comment by Claire — August 29, 2008

I wore this shirt and jeans. (:
comment by yishui — August 29, 2008

Dark skinny jeans, a button-up blouse with blue picnic plaid and matching blue flats (:
comment by Jessica Luczywo — August 29, 2008

Hi, I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, and I am 15 years old. My school has a uniform, so I probably wouldn’t have generally picked what I wore, but I guess I better be thankful that my uniform is better than some. I wore a white polo with the school’s logo, a plaid “kilt,” red shorts with the school’s logo, socks with the school’s logo, and Sperry Topsiders. I accessorized with pearl earrings and a NOLA water meter ring.
comment by Elizabeth — August 29, 2008

i wore a multi-colored Scrapbook shirt. it’s super cute. the sleeves are orange with green swirly things on it. the main shirt part is like a turquoise blue, aqua color. i also wore denim walking ahorts and turquoise ballet flats. my accessories were a yellow owl necklace and a big yellow men’s watch and a cream colored bag with a yellow daisy flower pin.
comment by Lacie — August 29, 2008

I wore denim shorts that had paint splatters all over it [I worked at a summer camp for the past two months, and I spent a lot of time in the craft shop…plus I got tan for the first time ever!], a black tank with lace trim from UO, a black and electric blue cardigan from H&M and gold ballet flats.
comment by Casey — August 29, 2008

On the first day of school I will be wearing a… uniform. Not exciting, but! if I were to win this awesome backpack, it would be 23.7234x amazing? yes, I think so! Also, I heard that fast food designs compliment plaid skirts! who knew?
comment by Cailyn — August 29, 2008

hi! on the first of school im planning on wearing denium shorts and a navy tank and a navy and white stripped cardigan! i love that backpack its amazing!
comment by kathryn — August 29, 2008

I am wearing something I can sway in. Something that is comfortable, yet still remains snazzy. Like a flowy dress with bright tights underneath. To top it off, I will wear clear jelly sandals. My favorite necklace to put on would be something with a tassel. Of course, I do not want to forget my famous neon heart earrings. Also, a cinced belt with a braided base is great with a dress. All would make for a good outfit I can wear on my first day to play and learn in.
comment by Sophie — August 29, 2008

Well, I go to a Catholic High School.. so I will be wearing my green and grey plaid skirt, my green polo, grey tights, and my new coach shoes and bag! woohoo! haha
comment by Jena — August 29, 2008

I’M GOING TO WEAR A COMPLETELY AWESOME OUTFIT. It will consist of a lacey black bra, boy brief-style underpants from Aerie, black skinny jeans, a sriped sweater top thing from Forever 21, and 4-inch peep toe heels that are black and white plaid. As for accessories? Maybe a bracelet or two, some dangly earrings, and a best friends necklace (I just hope my best friend wears hers!). Oh, I can’t forget that I’ll be bringing cookies! Hehehe. I might wear my glasses too… it depends on how my contacts are feeling. I can’t wait for school

comment by Stacey — August 29, 2008

the usual. skinny jeans, h&m scarf, some awesome colourful shoes, and taco shirt!
comment by Jade — August 29, 2008

School started for me last week, which is pretty early compared to the rest of the nation. I was feeling really lazy so I just wore a grey vest, a pink Beatles shirt, drainpipes, black Converse high tops, and an olive green studded hobo bag. Keep up the blogging! Sets you guys apart from all the other online stores.
comment by Emu — August 29, 2008

I’m a super senior and my first day back was totes nonchalant. My gray tunic-y tee shirt with my army green trousers and my aquamarine track jacket (for the oh so cold buildings with their out of control air conditioning). Followed up with my bejeweled flip flops and my plaid backpack. I’m mad for plaid, although a brand spankin’ new hamburger backpack just might beat it.
comment by Beth — August 29, 2008

It’s my third year at FSU, so I have my first day of school outfit in the bag. I love simple, classic (and comfy!) looks, so I’ll go with dark, cuffed skinnys and an american apparel white deep v. Personal flair will come in with my vintage-y flower print flats, chunky plastic earrings, and a zipper-y faux leather (i’m a no-leather vegetarian) bag. Comfort, class, and still trendy! Love ya, Fred Flare! <3 xx, Sarah
comment by Sarah from Tallahassee — August 29, 2008

On my first day, I wore my hair down for the first time in months(!), a cuuuuute striped/floofy shirt from forever 21 with a fun elastic at the very bottom, my new boy-ey jean shorts from delias, my old/falling apart black Roxy ballet flats, my FF ROSE RING and I carried my RAWRRR tote I bought at shanalogic.com (indie seller definitely worth checking out!) It’s not too exciting, but it got me through my microbiology, human physiology, quantitative chem, and run conditioning (just the syllabus/intro day) feeling cute!!

comment by kellie — August 29, 2008

Gosh, that was so long ago… I remember wearing a long dress on the first day of 1st grade. I had my metal lunch box in hand as my dad waited with me for the school bus.
comment by Taylor — August 29, 2008

Hello! Well i live in Ireland so its pretty standard to have a school uniform but i like to think mine is better than standard

to finish it off i accessorised with a gold bow in my hair and my dads old gold watch, not too shabby for a uniform eh? x x x
comment by Fiona — August 29, 2008

I’ll be wearing a button-up shirt and nice skirt for my first day of classes in the business skool. Making the transition from social science classes (think pajamas or whatever’s clean) to business skool has been a trip…

comment by Deanna — August 29, 2008

comment by claire — August 29, 2008

On my first day of school I remember a picture in navy shorts a little white ruffly top and my hair in pigtails. Pretty average, I guess!
comment by Emily Barklage — August 29, 2008

I start school on September fourth and I’m planning on wearing this adorable purple dress I got from Forever 21, it’s kind of short, scoopneck, only twelve bucks. And then I’m going to wear a pair of red tights and these graffiti Converse, my silver bracelet, and probably a biggish ring. And my trusty super-humongous navy flowery tote bag.
comment by caiti — August 29, 2008

Howdy Doody Keith! On the first day of school I will wear a shirt, some pants, undergarments, and gladiators. I also have to wear my mood ring. It’s a must. Now if I went to a nudist school, i would wear nothing. but that’s just gross. Thanks for asking what I’ll be wearing cuz no one else cares!
comment by Brianna — August 29, 2008

i still havent toally decided but it will probably be my tiered mini skirt with a cute little flower pattern on it, black t srhit, grey sweater vest, gladiator sandals, and my black knit beret. AND i just got this amazing new backpack that is pink leopard. its BETSEY JOHNSON!!!! ahhhh!! lol. but this one would be a cuteee one for the lightter homework days (which i doubt will ever come.lol.) <3
comment by tara felten — August 29, 2008

For back to school, I wore a pair of jeans that were way too big, a tank top and a cardigan. After a summer of being lazy, I threw on the closest clean things that were near my bed — and boy did I regret it! All day long I was pulling my pants up! The rest of the semester I’ll be dressing much better

comment by Annissa — August 29, 2008

My first day back I wore a printed top gifted from my mom that falls off the shoulder 80’s style, a black tank underneath, straight leg jeans (but with my thighs they look like flares

) and grandpa shoes. Seriously, it’s the same brand of shoes my grandpa wears. They’re orthopaedic. I had achilles tendonitis over the summer and I have to wear grandpa shoes to support my feet so my tendon doesn’t mess up again. Oh yea! I also wore sweat. A lot of sweat. Living in Houston means lots and lots of sweat for the first couple of months of school. Fall doesn’t come around until October!
comment by Randi — August 29, 2008

I wore a shirt, shorts, shoes…and underwear. My outfit probably cost less than $30. I win.
comment by Tiffany — August 29, 2008

I am so gona wear something “fierce” cool and my stlye! jeans with a hot pink top!
comment by ari :P — August 29, 2008

I plan on not wearing anything. Everyone says you really need to make an impression on your professors, so what better way? If I get chilly, maybe I’ll add a wool scarf and some striped knee high socks. Accessories are important, too. Maybe some gigantic gold hoop earrings and a necklace made out of octopus beaks. And shoes? How about some mock sharkskin moccassions? Scarf also good for covering up those special areas. Would post a link, but think it may be inappropriate. You’ll have to wait for the first day of school. Also considering the Ignatius Reilly look so I’m up for any suggestions.

comment by Anne-Marie — August 29, 2008

heyo, im shaina, and im 14. on the first day of school, i just randomly put something together, because it takes too much brainpower to coordinate clothing in the morning. so i wore a purple cobra starship tshirt, light blue nike shorts, hello kitty earrings, and my navy keds. spiffy

comment by Shaina — August 29, 2008

totally gonna wear my knee sock, pig tails and my new kick butt backback!
comment by chris — August 29, 2008

I go to a catholic private school so i have to wear a uniform, but it’s tailored! And I am wearing juicy couture knee socks that say love couture on them and black ballet flats which remind me of chanel flats that were in teen vogue a few months ago. not much i can choose on wearing except that!
comment by Elizabeth — August 29, 2008

Hi-Lowww! I wore my Link Crew shirt to stand out for the incoming freshmen- just in case they get lost, can’t open their lockers, or need a friend! I paired that lime green tee with denim shorts, gold sandals, and peacock earrings.

I started school this past monday, wearing a blue and white striped romper with a white belt with a bicycle on it and white keds with little pink floral socks. I talked about it here too: http://immaculate-collection.blogspot.com/2008/08/year-two-day-one.html
comment by niki — August 29, 2008

this will be my last first day of school outfit ever! i am graduating from umass this year… since i can wait no longer to break out the fall wardrobe, i will be wearing leather boots, new favorite jeans, dandelion yellow sweater, and my new gray hat that i crocheted and it took about a million years since it was my first project. i saw a mom taking a picture of her kids at the bus stop on my way to work the other day and i remembered that my mom always did that on the first day of school when i was a kid. she was cute.
comment by Allison Garver — August 29, 2008

I don’t think I really care about what I will be wearing on my first day of school as much as I used to. I work at Heritage 1981/ Forever 21 and all these girls come in and all I here them say is “This is great for the first day of school!”. I’m about to start school as a college freshman and I am pretty nervous but I feel like kids are lazy in college and just dress comfy. So if anything I’ll be sporting my Plaid Dickies backpack that I take with me everywhere, skinny jeans, a random t-shirt, and these cute but comfy boots I just got from Target.

comment by Emily — August 29, 2008

The first day of my second year of high school was the last tuesday, the 26th. Being in high school, i wanted to impress my peers, yet still look completely unique. I chose to wear gray skinny jeans because they weren’t new and i wanted to stay comfortable in something id worn a million times before. I wore Converse(RED) red hightops that my friends wrote all over and decorated which made me even more confident. I remembered my friends and the good times we’ve had every time i saw my shoes, which for me - being a shy person - was pretty often. Finally, I wore a new red v-neck top that completed my outfit perfectly!
comment by Megan — August 29, 2008

ok on my first day of school i wore a blue shade shirt and dark blue skinny jeans and i wore checkered converses and my hair was strait and i wore a indian bracelett and and i wore really a cute neckalace that was white. peace
comment by caroline — August 29, 2008

Since I have finally finished school, I will not be getting any back to school clothes this year. Instead, I will tell you about what I wore on my very first day of school, back in 1991. I had a pair of dusty rose rubber boots, jeans that were tucked into the rubber boots, a pink floral button up shir, a fabulous purple rain coat, with my name pinned on it. I had a simple pair of earings, and my hair was pulled back from my face with a barette. And that is what I wore to my first day of school. Oh! And my back pack was either California Raisins, or Chip N Dale.
comment by Amanda-Jayna — August 29, 2008

im 15, and totally wish that i owned fredflare, and i start escuela sep. 3rd. ill be sporting sky blue skinny jeans w/ a baggy white t-shirt that has a kind of 80’s neon retro print and some colorful flip flops, with white risky business shades and some kind of trendy bag.

comment by emily — August 29, 2008

Well i wore my uniform which consisted of khakis and a white polo shirt but with it i wore these shiny pink, blue, and lime green nike low dunks plus this rad golden girls fan watch that has now been my trademark. I also wore these huge heart earrings with diamonds surrounding them with my treasured Tiffany’s heart pendant necklace.(not the huge one that everyone else gets but the plain, simple one). I say the first day was a success.
comment by Sydney — August 29, 2008

This year was my first year of high school, so I’m a freshie. I dicide to go with an American Eagle bule polo with a nice pair of boot cut jeans and my blue Converse, which are really comfy from wearing them all summer!
comment by Gabriella — August 29, 2008

Wow. There are a lot of comments. I was going to read them all.. before I realized how many there are.

I just moved to a new high school for my senior year, so I don’t know anyone yet. But I’ve heard that the school is really preppy (which I think can be adorable, but I also think that some of those that wear it are not .. adorable). So, wanting to distinguish myself from the masses, I’m putting a turquoise streak in my hair to match my airbrush t-shirt with my nickname on it (Kit Kat) and some dark sorta-skinny jeans from American Eagle. Hopefully the day will be great and I’ll make lots of new friends!

comment by Katie — August 29, 2008

I am going to wear something comfortable and flexible. i like to be basic and fun with accessories. i just cant wait until it cools down so i can wear my sweet knee high socks that i adore o so much! love socks they rocks!

comment by Maddizzle — August 29, 2008

I’m glad you asked that question, because let’s face it, i wore the cutest thing to school! I wore a vintage gray mini-dress over a white peasant blouse with these great puffy sleeves! I wore beige mary janes on my feet and this small multi-colored backpack that I bought in Africa, made by Africans! To top it all off, I had brought my Lisa Frank folders to use in class! I’m sure you can agree I defnitly made a great impression for my senior year of highschool!!
comment by Emmy Hristova — August 29, 2008

What I wore on my first day of school was something that I will always wear on every first day of school! MY black converse skate shoes with rainbow laces. I have worn them since my first day of high school, a bit ratty now lol but just can’t give them up! but i wore my best jeans and a plain white t with my grey vest and a my 3 year old never been washed forever lucky blue bandanna that has been to every festival, award show, and concert since 2005. it may smell a little but it’s the best thing i own

comment by Kelly R. — August 29, 2008

I’ll be wearing my pj’s on my first day back to school because I’m homeschooled! That’s pretty much considered my uniform every day. I love everything on this website, I’m so glad I found it.
comment by BRE — August 29, 2008

Thank you for having this. I remember one of my first days of school for high school - this was over 10 years ago! lol - I wore a gray sweatshirt with Umbro on it and a pair of purple Umbros. I loved those shorts! needless to say I as sweating all day but I loved that shirt! Thank you! tatertot374@sbcglobal.net

Some people tend not to like my style becuase its different and kinda out there!

But for the first day of school, im going to wear, my black Hurley skinny jeans, with my blue&white DC shoes, and for my shirt im going to wear a white t-shirt with this reallly cute black vest, and to top the outfit off a reallly cute black barei i just bought yesterday !

comment by mary — August 29, 2008

I teach music in an elementary school, so at 27 years old, I still have a “first day of school” to think about. The one thing I carry to work/school every single day is my super cute school bus tote that I bought from FF last year. When my students see it, they flip out because they love it - and my co-workers are the same way. Everybody smiles when they see that smiling yellow bus!

I wore a pair of dark denim skinny jeans, an obnoxiously bright green Fox racers tee over a black lace tank, and black sandals. :]
comment by Alexis — August 29, 2008

I wore a solid hot pink shirt with a white camisole under it and I wore bermuda shorts that were hot pink, white and brown in a sort of plaid pattern. Also, some of the brown in the shorts were glittery! I wore white flip flops and a necklace that is just simple and silver with a heart, with one diamond, on it. Best first day of school ever!!!
comment by Rachel M — August 29, 2008

I HAD to wear a uniform; a shapeless white polo with the school crest on it and khaki pants. i also threw in some electric blue and pink sneakers and a funky headband though, which made me feel slightly less gross. :]

I will be attending University of California, Irvine this Fall 2008 as a freshman! I plan on wearing my new Obama shirt that I got from Urban Outfitters, Dark Grey skinnies from PacSun, Light blue hoodie from H&M if the weather needs it, and green Lacoste sneakers! Comfortable & bright.
comment by Annie — August 29, 2008

I think I’m going to wear my $10 jeans (Hooray TJ Maxx) and a black tank top over a white t-shirt along with my non-matching flip flops. For some reason, I get a lot of grief about them but I still love ‘em.
comment by Caroline — August 29, 2008

For my first day of school at a new university I wore a really cute top with bunnies and banjos (that FF actually sold at one point!) some black skinny jeans and tan moccasins. I also had on a blue heart necklace with an owl in the center by indie designer Frozen Peas. But of course I ended up having trouble finding parking and my classroom and having to run up 3 flights of stairs because I couldn’t find the elevator and walked into class 5 minutes late and sweating profusely, so that kinda detracted from the overall look.
comment by Amber — August 29, 2008

Hi hello! Hehe. Um, on Monday this week(the 25th) I started high school! Whee! xD Well, let’s see. I wore a red tanktop, with a brown jacket thingamajig over it, with my converses, and very kickass stripey pants. Here’s a picture of MAH PANTS. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/ToriBug94/100_2264.jpg At first I hated high shcool, but after the first day, I actually made a friend or two. And it’s definitely better. Sooo, yep. Hope the rest of you have an awesome school year! (And just an awesome year for those graduates and such.) Byeassssss! <3 ~T.S.
comment by Tori — August 29, 2008

First day of school.. awesome. I wore orange and yellow Nikes, skinny jeans (light wash all the way), Black V neck t-shirt, Peace sign necklace, cassette tote, and a plaid orange scarf.

It was pretty much the best outfit ever, no doubt.

i’m supper stoked and (haha… lol i said supper… i meant SUPER) hmmmm… we started this past monday so with this whirlwind that is the college transition… what on earth did i wear??? lol… o yes… i remember

i got this gorgeous maxi dress in a luscious brown from target (who says stylish can’t be cheap?), paired it with a cropped, cotton, short-sleeved sweater that’s a bright and bold blue-purple, flip-flops (i kno, i kno… but with the long trek to class i’d be destined to get blisters

with any of my flats), my favorite chunky, plastic ring and favorite black plaid watch, a springy-green tote with white bowling stripes by Tara Jarmon (also purchased via target), and last but not least some AWESOME vintage 1987 sunglasses… they are my lovers… lol jk. so a bit about me… i’m 18 and got my lip pierced on that birthday, which was exciting

i love all art but focus mostly on photography and painting, i love writing and fashion, and music… i like a lot

fredflare is my hero!!! love u guys!!!

comment by brooke — August 29, 2008

My first day of class was this Monday and I needed to dress super comfy because my classes on Mondays go from 9:30 am to 10 pm at night. I wore a collared sleeveles polo dress (with embriodery detailing) and black 3/4 length leggings. Also wore my comfortable flats and my dee and ricky pin that I purchased from Fred Flare!
comment by ann h. — August 29, 2008

This was my senior year so I didn’t want to go too fancy with an all out dress, so i kept it cute and casual. I wore my tye dyed converses, kitson jeans, and an adorable purple shirt. I toped it off with my pbj earings and my hair in cascading curls. Along with my hot pink tote, I looked pretty adorbale

comment by Rachael — August 29, 2008

For my first day of college (at SAIC), I wore a $1 plaid shirt, red shorts, Havaianas, and ff’s sparkling toothy earrings. Oh, and my Japanese Talking Watch, so I wouldn’t be late for class.
comment by Gina — August 29, 2008

when i was younger, the first day of school outfit took a lot more out of me–there was a lot more planning involved. there was also a lot of time spent on the bathtub looking in a mirror in order to get a better view of my outfit. nowadays, i just reach into my closet and find things that are clean and match, kind of. so for the first day of school this year, i wore a blue and white tank top with sailboats and clouds on it, a blue circle skirt, and gold sandals.
comment by trieu — August 29, 2008

I’m not in school anymore, but if I did I would wear my new favorite jeans (Converse brand from Target) and an American Apparel t-shirt (lilac). And plain black flip flops. Since it’s so hot outside, I like to keep it casual.
comment by Kasey — August 29, 2008

Eek, the first day of school is upon us once again! And of course, as a rising senior, I must make this final year in high school the best of all! I think I’ve finally decided upon a cool outfit for the first day.

A crisp, white button-up shirt, neatly pressed and ironed, with cuffs folded up to the elbows. An adooorable pink/purple silk tie from Louis Vuitton. And to top it off, a pair of cool skinny jeans from True Religion, and black Converses with pink laces. I hope to do my hair up, probably a high ponytail. And, most importantly, a pendant my best friend gave me with his name on it. It grants me good luck!

Good luck to everyone on the first day!!!!
comment by Rachie — August 29, 2008

I wore my uniform: a white uniform shirt, my very unique blue plaid skirt, my black and white oxfords, and my knee high socks that have cougar paws on them. SMA- Class of 2009

Absolutely nothing

comment by Kathleen Hallstead — August 29, 2008

I’m going into the tenth grade on Thursday and I am going to wear this skirt-turned-dress that I found in my great aunt’s closet. It will be cinched with a lavender belt that I also found in her closet. I’d probably wear brown leather sandals as shoes, but I just need to make sure not to step on anything on my way off the subway platform. <3
comment by Michele — August 29, 2008

I wore my super skinny black jeans, a grey shirt from sarah jessica parkers line, a really long silver necklace with hearts, and high tops! could never leave the house without my high tops!
comment by csilla — August 29, 2008

I’m years past being in school, but if I were to be in school, I would wear the following on my first day: my pink/silver rocket dog pumps, jean capri’s, my hot pink ‘i love rock’ shirt, black cuff bracelets and big black hoops. Top it all off with pink eye shadow. Comfortable but ready to rock out! And, of course, I would use the Burger backpack to house all my educational supplies.

comment by Gracie — August 29, 2008

This was my first day of preschool backpack in 1991. I like Fred Flare because they keep my backpacks as cool as they were when I was a wee little thing.
comment by Liz — August 29, 2008

I saw a great t-shirt on Etsy.com that, if I were still going to school, I would totally wear: A photo of Barack Obama, with the phrase “Here I am, Barack me like a hurricane!”
comment by Kylene — August 29, 2008

I’m so old when I go back, I’ll probably be wearing Depends. But, by then, they will be really cool, like FF style. I mean, all the Boomers now, they’ll prob. be wanting to spif up these things when they are all wearing them. Hermes Depends, kate spade Depends, and then there will be the REALLY cool ones who want squirrel or owl-themed ones…don’t worry, I know you are already reeling with ideas on how you are going to totally fill this niche market but I’ll let you. I’ve got mad ideas but severe lack of motivation.

You go, guys-n-girls!
comment by Elizza — August 29, 2008

a cute t shirt (catoon planets and ufo’s!), purple jeans, and chuck taylors!
comment by melissa — August 29, 2008

I don’t start until late september (my first year in college, yay!) and I just started building my fab fall wardrobe; but whatever I wear it’ll bring all the boys to the yard! :]

I will probably just go nude :]
comment by Claire Koss — August 29, 2008

I wore a blue barely above knee length dress from Nordstroms that has a bandeau chest and a wide strap halter that crosses in the back. Then I put a short grey cardigan over that and flats with ankle straps. I got amazing, confidence-boosting compliments all day (I was even called a Maxim girl… but I only have B cups haha ;D) Love you FredFlare.
comment by Kat — August 29, 2008

The only good thing about the first day of school is the outfut! I will be wearing a colorful graffit tee from Rue 21, black vest, and black straight leg jeans, and black Converse.
comment by Jelani — August 29, 2008

I wore my fave red shorts and a chic black tee with adorable leather flip flops - comfy yet cute! but could definitely use a new bag

comment by lily — August 29, 2008

Heyyy! My first day at school I wore white and pink cami and faded skinny abercrombie jeans with cute flats:)
comment by eStellA* — August 29, 2008

NEHOOS, FF!! Ayeee I go to a private school [yuckk] and so I will be wearing my knee-length polka-ring-dotted skirt from which I bought from a vendor in LoNdOn! With that thrilling skirt I shall sport a lime green button down shirt which, as always, attracts the eyes of many o’ people. Along with that ensemble, I will be wearing my new eco-friendly Simple shoes!!!!! Of course I won’t be seen without my Risky Sunglasses atop my head and although it may not be visible, may it be known that in my very bland backpack one lucky compartment will be holding my incredible Vinnie’s Tamp Case!

comment by JeSSie — August 29, 2008

On my first day of junior year(eek!) i wore a bright yellow mini skirt, and a blue and gray hooded henley.

comment by CJ — August 29, 2008

From Pre-school until about 2nd grade my very stylish stuck in the 80’s mother dressed me in leggings, huge shirts, and gigantic bows on the top of my head. I looked like I belonged in a Cyndi Lauper video. Sadly, I spent the rest of my elementary school years and well on until middle and high school to try and revamp myself. Sure enough, at 20 years old I’m walking around as if I’m ready to attend the ‘disco-tech’. Should have been listening to Mama since day 1! The 80’s is where it’s at!!
comment by Lacie — August 29, 2008

I’m so exsited about my first day of school, but i’m keeping it casual and comfy. I’m wearing just a plain white croped sleeve T over a purple tank and dark jeans. oh and a gold necklace with a little dove. hopfuly i’ll get some flats soon to wear but if not then just plain flip flops. I love your blogs and good luck on the store!
comment by Samantha — August 29, 2008

At my school I have to wear uniform but next year I plan on wearing some hot bell bottom jeans,button down shirt,and red hot heels. Plus some killer pearls and a nice bookbag. Chic,hot,great first impression and fashionable. “)
comment by Tiffany — August 29, 2008

I wore an argyle vest over a t-shirt and bright blue skinny jeans. I had my japanese speaking watch on that everyone loves. I wore everyday chucks and a my mis-matching plaid purse. My friends make fun of my mis-matching, but it’s become a signature.
comment by Chelsea — August 29, 2008

My first (EVER) day of school, I work a peter pan color white shirt with double cherries all over it under a red courdoroy jumper dress. It was long sleeve and I LOVED how the bottom of the sleeve had a scallop cuff thing going on. Today, I am a teacher for special needs children. So, on Tuesday, I will be arriving for the first day of school in old jeans, old Tshirt, protective mylar sleeves and sneakers.
comment by Sandra Warowitz — August 29, 2008

I remember on my first day of college…I wore a black Cure t shirt that had Robert Smith’s face on the front and some jeans that I had gotten at a thrift store.
comment by Denise R. — August 29, 2008

WELLLL, I wore a crazeee outfit.I had Fushia flat shoes from SHOE CARNIVAL and fushia leggings. Then, I had a longish bright blue shirt over that that bunches around the hips and beads around the neckine. I had a bright yellowish tank under that and then a silver chain w/ a bg plastic yellow heart on it. Finished it off w/ some bright, funky shaped bangles =]]]. It was fantabulous!
comment by Brianna Kerbow — August 29, 2008

I wore an impossibly adorable black dress (ivory lace, tiny buttons, short puff sleeves, swishy short circle skirt) with Chanel boots (ivory leather, black patent toes & heels) and black fishnet stockings. I felt like a noir child or a new doll.

comment by Melodii — August 29, 2008

My first day of school was this monday and i got a lot of compliments on my outfit. I wore a kimono style black cotton top, with flowy sleeves and an empire waist, a pair of washed out skinny jeans, and black flip flops. To make the outfit really pop, I accented it with a long gold, multi-necklace and some vintage black and gold hoops. I was very proud of my simple, chic outfit.
comment by Dionna — August 29, 2008

Recently, as everyone else wore their best…I wore my pajamas…I stayed home because I finished school two years ago…And who knows I might decide to hit the books again sometime in the future so the backpack would be a great accessory!…but I am working as a teacher’s assistant in a preschool…but why go into beauty specifics…just a plain shirt jeans and hair tied up on the first day…I’m working with kids…what else would I wear? a dress along with cute matching heels with my hair flowing in the wind? Nonsense

comment by Jen — August 29, 2008

I wore a grey American Apparel skirt with pockets, gold gladiators, a graphic tee with trees on it, and my signature fleur de lis and tulip rings.

comment by teresa — August 29, 2008

Hey! My name is Annie. I live in Montreal, Quebec. I go to a school with a uniform but it’s pretty liberal and we’re allowed to personalize it a bit. On the first day of school I wore my white polo shirt tucked into my green and blue plaid school skirt. To personalize it I pulled over a blue V-neck knit sweater and at the tip of the v-neck I pinned a really cute vintage ywllow bow with a black center (very Marc Jacobs-esque). I also pulled on some vintage inspired white socks with pink flower buds and some blue flats. I think it looked pretty good. I layed out the outfit and took a picture. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d77/anniekats/Picture084-1.jpg
comment by Annie — August 29, 2008

for my first day of my freshman year of college, the main focus of my look was pink hair, tattoos, and a face full or piercings.
comment by helen — August 29, 2008

I am a Junior in high school, and on my first day of school I wore a blue floral skirt from Goodwill-$3!-high waisted with a yellow scoop neck top from old navy with my favorite black belt and shoes!

comment by Janet — August 29, 2008

I wore the only outfit that could keep me awake and (sort of) attentive for several hours of nursing classes and meetings: grey sweats, a turquoise t-shirt, and orange Crocs. One word: HOT!
comment by A Kef-Kef — August 29, 2008

On the first day I moved into college I wore skinny black jenes, a red threadless t shirt called holding pattern, my new doc martens, and a grey vest I sewed new buttons onto. I also had my speed racer sunglasses to top it all off!

I don’t think my first day of class is until the 21st, but I’m planning on wearing my darkest jeans, a striped purple v-neck t-shirt layered over a black long sleeved shirt and really flash red patent ballet flat, plus I’ll have this really awesome dinosaur pin my mom found recently in her room–it’s CUTE, a small yellow brontosaurus. I think it’s really going to pop from my purple shirt.

I also had a polka-dot backpack and a tote from Aerie! I got tons of compliments and was so happy I had gone back-to-school shopping the weekend before!
comment by Kelly — August 29, 2008

On my first day of school (college OMG!) I wore a subtle ensemble, only hoping to catch the minimum amount of attention…there were jeans, a t-shirt, sneakers, and a rainbow scarf! In 90 degree Florida heat. It wasn’t so bad compared to the snow shoes I wore along with my 50 pound backpack full of cicadas…needless to say, I am in need of this new backpack. <3

Well, my school is impossibly cold so on my first day of school i opted for a pair of denim capris, a v-neck white shirt with a floral printed map on the front, a red sweater and some gladiator style white sandals. Super fab, the school part…not so much.
comment by Alex — August 29, 2008

I just wore the same thing I wore the day before… I think. I was really dreading school and didn’t bother to pick out anything different or new, hahaha. It was a Threadless shirt a size too big and my favorite skinny jeans from Pacsun.
comment by wei — August 29, 2008

For my first day of 7th grade, in 1988, I wore a pair of acid-washed denim shorts with zippers at the knees (why, you ask? I do not know….) and an attractive chartreuse gap pocket-T with white saltwater sandals. I was SO hot!

comment by aminah — August 29, 2008

For my first day of I will be wearing, a plain yellow tee from AA. With dark blue TR jeans. Then to tie the two plain pieces together I have these beautiful new flats with a covered floral scene.
comment by Amanda — August 29, 2008

First day of school outfits from Preschool until around 3rd grade were always picked out by my ’stuck in the 80’s’ mother. I was fully equipped with leggings, large T-shirt, and obnoxious bow headband. Sadly enough I spent the rest of my elementary, middle and high school years trying to fight the fashion sense my mother had instilled in me. Oddly enough, today I can’t seem to get enough of the 80’s! At 20 years old I’m trying to dig deep back to my roots of big hair and big clothes. So just like a younger version of myself, I will be sporting an adorable dress with a very loud print! Thanks mom!
comment by Lacie — August 29, 2008

i’m going to wear a pink tank top with woven straps and the top of it is also woven too so fierce. and some super straight jeans, with some cute pink flats that have a small heel

comment by Alyssa — August 29, 2008

This year I am starting Beauty School. I plan on wearing my horribly unattractive beauty school scrubs. If I could wear anything it would be my Fred Flare Tape Deck Polo. It has become a staple in my collection. As well as a super cute pin to put on my popped collar! I would wear my cute Bermuda shorts. I would wear my argyle shocks and a pair of leather shoes. Really dorky leather shoes. I would be really cute and creative. Which is a must for my first day of Beauty School!
comment by Ricky Pucci — August 29, 2008

I’m gonna wear my greenest of my green skinny jeans. Then, an absolutely amazingly awesome zebra pattern shirt. On top of that, will go either my nerdalicious owl sweater vest, or my oldpeopletastic beige corduoy vest. Depends on how much of an old person I feel like smellin’ that day. Then on my feet my favorite neon green (they’re florescent!) socks with white polka-dots. To top that off its between my gold flats, or my leapord print flats. And, for my purse, I shall be using my moo-moo cow, aka my stuffed animal pencil case I purchased at Target for 2 bucks. It’s gonna be frickin’ insane. 9th grade, here I come!

comment by Joi — August 29, 2008

Depending on my mood, on the first day i might wear my light pair of jeans from american eagle. WIth that, i’ll wear my brand spankin new black and white striped top from rue 21. Also a belt from wet seal. I basically switch up my style everyday. Only because most teens ONLY wear abercrombie and hollister. I for one don’t like wearing what everyone else is wearing.I get complimates on my outfits everyday, so i’m just proudly doing me!!!:P

I am planning to wear some dark straight leg jeans with rolled up cuffs, a blank tanks top, my super cute leopard print cardigan, and some black Sambas.

Names Amanda. 17 years of age. My first day of school (a yucky two weeks ago), I wore a nice new pair of jeans and a white vest with my colored in shoes. And to top off with some school and FF spirit, my school bus tote

comment by Amanda — August 29, 2008

I’ll probably wear a short sleeved plaid tunic with black shorts underneath and a simple black belt over the tunic. I’ll just wear my comfy Rainbows (flip flops) on my feet. But I will wear soemthing cuter the next day so it looks like I can keep up my looks, rather than just trying to look good on the first day :]
comment by jenna — August 29, 2008

On Wednesday to my first day of classes I wore a blue t-shirt I got at All Points West, skinny jeans, and flip flops. I’m a senior in college so this is my last first day of school outfit for a few years at least!
comment by Valeri — August 29, 2008

I would post a link, but I can’t find my camera cord, oh well. woo!
comment by Caroline — August 29, 2008

I’m no longer in school but my work place has “Casual Fridays”. This just means we can wear sneakers and jeans but it’s a nice change from the more formal business clothes we wear. I like to dress like I’m going to a picnic or the park on Fridays. Today, I’ve got on jean capris, a red gingham button down w/rolled sleeves and my beloved Salt Water sandals. I won’t be going to a picnic or the park today but I will be watching “Hamlet 2″ and I can’t wait! Have a nice weekend everyone!
comment by Muoi Ha — August 29, 2008

I will wear..nothing…JUST KIDDING!!! i will wear my cute fred falre flats (try saying that ten times fast!) and my brown skinny cords and im thinkinga plain tank and a jacket.
comment by Sara — August 29, 2008

Yikes! Thinking of school just gives me the hypes. What I shall wear, that’s a very hard one to think about. My neonish/yellowish tee shirt with grey skinnies. Will kick this style with purple nikes! Its pretty not hard to stand out at school, since everyone is REALLY into American Eagle, Abercombie, while I, have a limited spending. I hope to get a tattered scarf in 3?2? days before school starts. And my bag.. that’s a sad story. Some roots bag this boy also sported. I’m the top grade in middle school (grade eight), and I don’t know if it will be bearable. Hear my cry fredflare <3! [p.s- I am constantly smelling the delicious smelling cards I purchased here!]
comment by Dona, not Donna — August 29, 2008

Since it’s my first year at a public school (i’ve been going to Catholic school for 11 years) and I don’t have to wear a uniform I plan on wearing a white, flowy, cotton skirt and a “vintage” Ratt t-shirt. It used to be my uncle’s and he gave it to me, all shredded and everything.With tons and tons of bracelets. Blue, argyle socks and my most comfortable shoes ever! Really dirty pink converse that I’ve had for 6 years. I’d like to see how many odd, mean looks I get from people for having my own little style. Finally no uniform!!

comment by Valentina — August 29, 2008

My first day of school this year also happened to be my first day of college! I’m on a campus full of new people, but hot weather, so I kept it simple. I wore a cute red and white polka-dot skirt that I made a few years ago, and a simple white tank. It was all about the accessories- my favorite necklace, a new bracelet, super-cute earrings (from ff, of course!) and the ring my best friend gave me before I left home.
comment by Christina — August 29, 2008

I will wear a pair of skinnies, tank top, turquoise pull-over hoodie, and sandals… or plaid vans if it rains :\ …! i can’t wait.

comment by Kate — August 29, 2008

Hey! I’m 15 and starting my sophomore year. I’m starting school on Tuesday and have been thinking about what to wear for awhile. I’ve been trying to give my look a makeover and I think I’m going to wear my favorite skinny jeans. They’re dark and I LOVE to roll the cuffs on them since I’m short. I got this sweet button up sweater vest that I plan to wear on top of a white tee. And to complete the look I’ll wear my butterfly necklace and my locket. I’ll either wear my brown converse or my new buckle boots. I’ll brighten up my school in MI by wearing something not preppy! All I have to say to fredflare.com is keep up the unique and crazy things that I love. PEACE!
comment by Alexa — August 29, 2008

I have to wear a uniform

we wear white button-down shirts, green and white plaid skirts, and green saddle oxfords at my school… oh well, at least i don’t have to take time to decide what to wear! i did wear a pretty necklace though… i liked these betsey johnson earrings a lot - they had kitties on it and were on sale! - but they were too heavy. So i made one of the earrings into a necklace that looks really cute. now i’m not sure what to do with the other earring though. anyways… fred flare = <3
comment by Emily — August 29, 2008

Way back when I went to school, I used to plan my first day outfit to be just a little understated; then on the second day after everyone else was on to b-string clothes I’d wear something really bright and obnoxious.

comment by Viktoria — August 29, 2008

I wore an argyle cardigan, Hello Kitty tee and super skinny dark wash jeans with red patent flats! And of course, some black wayfarer-style glasses!! I looked FABULOUS. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the french fry print inside the back back! Incredible detail. <3
comment by Natasha — August 29, 2008

I just started at a university halfway across the country from home, and baggage costs kept me from being able to bring all the things I wanted to bring with me. On my first day of school, I wore a spaghtetti-strap sundress with a floral print in a mix of browns and greens, a really chunky, long gold necklace, and purple flip flops because they’re the only shoes I brought with me. The rest are still in the mail.

(Postage, move faster!)
comment by Meri — August 29, 2008

I wore my hot pink Circa shirt with silver shiny grills on the front, and jeans with a belt that had sunglasses on it, and to top it all off I wore my shiny green, blue, and pink DC high tops. I was looking pretty sharp, if I do say so myself.

comment by Liz Hostler — August 29, 2008

I would go naked if they would let me! Ha ha, em okay on the first day of school my goal is to not look like a hooker, but not look like a orthodox Jew, not to look like a teacher, but also look professional, and I am going to work my own style into all of this! Shirt: Now you are going to have use your imagination here children, I have two states on my chest so this shirt is gonna be pop’in and not in the LiL Wayne sort of way, more like the sound of music, these hills are alive. So I am going to wear this silk white shirt that has flowers and lace on it and it ties in the back, I got it at Buffalo Exchange, someone else’s loss, this shirt is one of my favorites! Skirt: I am going to wear a vintage zebra skirt that I got from my Grandma, no worries she is still super sexy even in her 90’s and this skirt is majorly kawaii. Socks:I would wear socks if I was not cool, only losers wear socks! Stinky Feet Club Unite! Shoes:I am going to wear my winter/ski boots, I was not kidding when I was talking about stanky feet hehehe, they are gray and they have these black tightening strings so the stench will not fly into passer-by’s noses Hair Thangs: I am going to wear my Dora The (pronounced thee) Explorer headband that I got at the dollar store for….well…a dollar! It is pink and amazing. Acc:Then last but not least I am going to throw my silver elephant necklace on over this masterpiece of an outfit I got it at my one and only visit to H & M in California it was on sale too! So looks like I did not met any of my goals, at least I’m going to look like a little kid on my first day, I do enjoy my kiddish ways, maybe I can still be sort of sexy…I wonder if any pedophiles go to my school…hmmmm

I wore a striped black and white quarter sleeved shirt, under an oversize, button-down black sweater, skinny jeans, slip on keds, and a crazy belt. i wore black heart earrings and a blue flower brooch on my sweater, along with a sequined oversize bag for my books. it actually was a last minute look…only i would oversleep on the first day of school.

I’m wearing a gold thin headband with a bow on it in my hair, and straight leg jeans topped with a pair of plain black high top converses!!!!!!
comment by Mollie — August 29, 2008

Well since Ive alreayd started school I’ll tell you what I wore. Though we all’d like to look like serena on her first day back from boarding school at constance Billiard, we can’t. But anywhoo I wore a nice vintage V necked 1980 bucycle shirt which was an XLarge so it hung nicely, with a bright big yellow Andy Warhol bad with elvis on the front holding a gun, the handles say “in the future everyone will be world famous for 15 min.” The inside of the purse has a brilliant lonng chain with a fake gun wallet/ coin purse inside.I wore these bright fire engine red flats which were pointed toe and made out of pleather not the shiney kind though.my jeans were skinny what else? And the scrunched at the botten which was a good find because Iam 6 feet tall, Those are hard to come by. And lastly my glasses were these red Versace glasses that Heidi Klum mis FEIRCE herself wore in last years issur of the Fashion Rocks magazine, they are also fire engine red. And I also wore a kelly green hoddie zip up of course, I silk screened Andy Warhols signature on the back it’s huge!!!.
comment by Jamie Nicole — August 29, 2008

Well, my first day of school I plan on being as colorful as I can, not to attract attention, not really, but to display my colorful personality that my friends have come to know and love. I’ll be wearing a green dress that has like three shades of green with an electric blue trim. Under it, I’ll be wearing a bright pink shirt with puffy sleeves. Then, a matching green headband. Then, thick green and pink bangles with a electric blue bead necklace. Last but certainly not least, striped flats with a bit of a wedge and a striped yellow, green, and electric blue purse. This outfit is sure to be a winner!

I just graduated from college and started my first official job as a teacher so I got an apple necklace here at Fred Flare plus a wicked red and black striped cardigan over an extra long black t-shirt (Very Rivers Cuomo) plus super form fitting black jeans and my classic HI-top converse sneakers.It was the perfect way to start my school year. Totally took my mind off the fact that I locked my keys, lesson plans, wallet and everything else in my car as soon as I’d arrived at work that morning

I’ve got some money woes, so I won’t be returning to school until spring semester [which stupidly begins in January]. However, I do love planning outfits for special days, and at this point I’m torn between a] a nerdy t-shirt, a Dr. Seuss hoodie, and some reconstructed jeans I whipped up, and b] a Marilyn Monroe t-shirt dress that I just started sewing. Choices, choices!

comment by Ande Murphy — August 29, 2008

Well on the first day of my junior year I wore; a green flowy shirt, skinny jeans, and high top converse. I wore the converse because I spent most of my money on school supplies and clothes so none was left for shoes. Oh, well I still rocked it

comment by Paula — August 29, 2008

i wore some super cute shorts, two layers tanks, and a spakrly ballarina wrap sweater.

comment by kate — August 29, 2008

Im going into my junior year of school. On my first day of class I wore Abercrombie shorts a kidrobot t shirt and bape shoes. But when I stepped in my school, everybody had the exact same outfit on except for the shoes because those were very limited. I was pissed because I tried to find something that no one had but I guess I did a bad job.lol. I saw someone through the hallway wearing a dee and ricky heart pin. I was so jealous that he had one because I missed them when they were on the Fred Flare shop. I asked him if I could buy it off of him, but he kept saying no,no,no. I was so sad because I was dieing for one. But on top of that I had piles of homework and textbook in my jansport backpack. I was walking through the hallway and my backpack fell apart and all my papers and books fell out. I had to carry them all in my hands. Not such a great day for me. I really need a backpack!!

I plan on wearing my favourite dark wash jeans, white ruffled t-shirt with a gold hart necklace and green camo flats. I think the backpack would look sweet with my outfit, and though I don’t think it’ll make it to Canada by then… I can always wear it with my outfit next time

Now, as a grown-up who trains teachers how to make their classes more arts-focused, I’d love to present my first workshop of the year wearing your new Francine dress with the colorblock flats to add a little rainbow WOW to the ensemble. I’m almost done savin’ for those lovely items, yay! xo FF!

comment by Phoebe — August 29, 2008

So for the first day of my last day of high school as a senior :]] I wore my link crew shirt that is aqua/neon blue. Link Crew is a program that i am involved with at school that helps all incoming freshmen with a smooth transition into high school. Each link leader gets a group of kids to help for the year and it is a really awesome program i seriously love it :]]]] so yeah back to the outfit. I also wore some jean Bermuda shorts that have white stitching on the pockets, some pink low rise socks and these super rad yellow pink and aqua/neon blue shoes. They are soo cool becuase the yellow starts at the top of the shoes near the toes and then fades into the pink which fades into the blue. It looks like a lollipop or an icecream you would wait for from the ice cream man

DDD I got a ton of Compliments on them and it made me smile all day long ] oh i almost forgot the most important thing…the sunglasses! i am obsessed with sunglasses and the ones i wore that day were black with a blue streak across the top they kind of look like the sunglasses that Ellen Page wore in JUNO (favorite movie

when they are looking in the penny saver. Yeah so that was my look for the first day of school :] hope you enjoy it like that ice cream

My most memorable outfit (and not in a good way) I could remember fr my first day was in 1992 (h.s. for me)… I wore a white bodysuit that had a fuzzy flower tattoo patch on my upper arm. I paired it with baggy jeans and a denium vest. At the time I was so proud of it…
comment by Em — August 29, 2008

i’ll probably wear my sushi tshirt, skinny jeans and super cute black suede flats. and i’ll also wear a huge piece of costume jewelry, just for kicks & giggles. and maybe if i’m lucky, one of my boyfriends hoodies. =]

This year my school started using a uniform, But because i’m a senior i got to participate in the ever long tradition of the senior dress to impress day. i wore a super cute aqua and purple batik a-line dress that was sleeveless with a big bow in the front. And because i’m a senior girl and we all wear one i topped off my look with a cute tiara to show off my seniority!

comment by crystal — August 29, 2008

I go to a boarding school so I don’t exactly have a first day of school. BUT I just recently bought a pair of brand new hunter wellies in red and I am so super excited to wear them and show them off that I have planned what I am going to wear on the first day of school that it rains. I’ll be wearing opaque dark grey tights that are cable knit, a knit gray skirt, a white button-up collared shirt, and a shrunken navy blue blazer, and of course, the fabulous boots.
comment by Marleah — August 29, 2008

OMG! I was raised by my elderly grandmother, and she sent me off to my first day of kindergarten wearing Sunday School clothes, patent leather shoes and lacy ankle socks. Mortifying! Everyone else was in normal jeans or shorts and t-shirts, and I looked like I stepped out of 1960.
comment by Robbi — August 29, 2008

I’m a college sophomore and on the first day of school I will be wearing a pink and black plaid hoodie that almost looks like a lumber jack might wear it lol. a black scoop neck top that bubbles out and comes in around my hips and fuschia straight leg jeans with my silver hi top converse. the peanut butter and jelly earrings from komodokat that you sell on your web site. a apple green chunky turquoise necklace I made myself. and my hair in super crazy curls as is my natural texture with a barrette with 40s style pinups in bottle caps. basically if the brightest parts of the color wheel threw up you would have my outfit lol. It helps that I go to a very very liberal, liberal arts college. so thats my outfit hehe. fred flare rocks!
comment by Margaret — August 29, 2008

When I was in the third grade my mom bought me a dress that was inside out. Where the gathering of the fabric was sewn outside of the dress. I believe it was a Liz Claiborne and it was teal. I HATED that dress! Everyone would tell me that I was wearing my dress inside out and my mom kept assuring me “That’s the style!” What kind of warped style is that to inflict on an eight year old!?!
comment by Sand — August 29, 2008

I used to wear whatever was comfortable. Usually the air was broken and the heat was up in 115 range where I live so tank top shorts and sandals is what was the norm for me.
comment by oreofairy — August 29, 2008

oh my gosh! since my school has uniforms; i wore a khaki skirt and a blue areo. polo. with my awesome top-sider sperry’s.

but next year, imma go all crazy up in herr! 8] i remember on my first day of preschool i had this little flower dress; i had my hands on my hips and gave this little prissy face; like i ownn you. haha.
comment by dani — August 29, 2008

Oh GOD ! I don’t want to hear about the first day of school ! University I’m coming… (Parties I’m coming ! But it’s not serious. Not at all.) So, for the first day of school I’ll wear clothes at the image of this day… Black, sooo dark clothes, to frighten people who want to test me, to not show that I’m sooo ridiculous of anxiety… BUT no. Gothic is not my kind. I shall wear probably the most discreet clothes as possible to not make me point out… Discreet but awesome. And sorry for this pathetic and ridiculous english, I’m french… (Good job for this pretty shop ! It’s just amazing ! We want to buy everything ! :]) Anaëlle
comment by Anaëlle — August 29, 2008

Im wearing my new plaid mini skirt with cable knit tights,shiny black ballet flats, a black v-neck pocket tee and my awesome matching plaid jacket.
comment by Haley — August 29, 2008

Being that I’m a senior, it’s a tradition that on the first day of school the grade wears “SENIOR T SHIRTS” which is shirts that the grade design.. So I’ll wear that - a tie dye shirt that says seniors 09 in the back. A jean skirt (must wear skirts to school) and my checkered, velcro vans! I should win the backpack because if not.. I will use mine from last year, and it has highlighter stains on it.. so if you want me to look super cute on the first day.. pick me

comment by Kimberly — August 29, 2008

My fisrt day of school was on the 25th, at my school we wear uniform(khaki pants and a black or white collared tshirt) I wore some khaki pants, a white shirt.To liven it up, I wore my totally awesome Nikes. They have a blue check and the rest is white, they’re the best. Well, that’s what I wore. Oh, and I wore my pink nailpolish with the glitter(it looks good with blue) And I’m 13, in the 8th grade.

I love FF!

I started another semester of college on Tuesday and sadly I don’t even remember what I exactly wore… I just hope it wasn’t very fashion-victim-like.
comment by JulieN — August 29, 2008

This is for my daughter who started school last week. She wore a purple and black jogging short set. This year so far she likes school as this year will her first full year at this district. We moved to a new town last year in November and I think she will like this time.
comment by Kim Jackson — August 29, 2008

a grey skirt, emerald top, brown knee sox, oxfords, and a cloche.
comment by anna — August 29, 2008

I wore a home-made tie-dye v-neck that me and my best friend made, jeans from cheap monday, and owl leathery flip-flop sandals (courtesy of Urban) & of course my wiener-dog bag from Fredd! =)
comment by Mona — August 29, 2008

I wore a vintage-style cream dress with a long, brown cardigan, faux leather chocolate brown wedges with a green gem in the center of the thong part, a beaded necklace with shades of green and blue beads, and a couple silver bangles. I also sported my one-shade-darker hair (almost black now)/ =)
comment by Delfina — August 29, 2008

So my best back to school outfit was the first day of 8th grade. Keep in mind it was the ninetys and the brand Hyper Colors just came out! For those of you that missed that fashion trend, Hyper Colors was heat activated clothing… mine was blue , when it was hot it turned pink. Needless to say, It turned pink under my armpits etc.. and I got teased the entire day! My advise, stick with basic black , it always makes a good first impression!
comment by michaela — August 29, 2008

Hi! My name is Anne. I am planning to wear shorts on the first day since it is still so hot. I am going to wear my new blue strawberry leg warmers for a bit of retro flare and my polymer clay dessert earrings that I got from FredFlare. Probably throw on a light blue top and viola!
comment by Anne — August 29, 2008

I graduated in May so, if I were to go back to school, I’d wear my cap and gown and tell my classmates something like “Stay in school. No, really. You need to stay in school because work isn’t fun and those trips to Starbucks aren’t covered by your meal plan anymore!” I need the backpack so I can pretend! It’d also make all the real school children super jealous! *Wearubg my backpack and bullying kids at busstop* “School don’t teach style, punk!”
comment by amber — August 29, 2008

i will wear a pleated skirt with purple tights and the menswear high heals. On top I am going to wear a leather jacket with a purple tanktop underneath and a vintage teal necklace my grandma gave me

comment by lexi — August 29, 2008

The night before school I went CRAZY trying to pick out an outfit. I started off with purple jeans. I must have spent 2 hours going through my clothes trying to find the perfect shirt and jacket to go with them. My room looked like a tornado had hit it. Finally I ended up with a pair of faded jeans, a PINK tank top with little camp-themed things on it. And a star vest type thing. Oh, and of course I wore my sparkly tooth earrings. =). I love wearing my fredflare stuff to school because I always get compliments on them. I”ll be wearing my purple flats I got from here on my first day where I have to actually be in dress code.
comment by Jennifer — August 29, 2008

I plan on wearing a plain purple v-neck with brown skinny jeans, also a hannah montana head band.

comment by Kait — August 29, 2008

I had a 7:30 am class the first day of school, so I woke up at 7:10, dressed in my default uniform (levis and a shirt) and wore my ever loved talking watch (which i picked up from the the ff warehouse in brooklyn). Did my makeup and dried my hari in the car on the way to school. All in all I was only 10 minutes late. I rock. (Most of the time.)
comment by deresa — August 29, 2008

I wore jean capris and a t-shirt. If you wear just about anything else, everyone knows you’re a freshman! However, I most definitely carried my school bus bag from fredflare. And you know everyone can’t stop staring at it, I always get lots of compliments.
comment by Kelsey — August 29, 2008

I am going to be wearing a FABULOUS beatles red and white beatles raglan/baseball tee shirt. I’m wearing new skinny jeans that are red as well but they’re a bit bright and obnoxious but oh well. I’m also taking my new fredflare sunglasses that are the risky business color block ones and are going to try to wear them but not have them get confiscated. I also will wear my floral flats because i love flat shoes. I’m probably going to look out of it though because I hate waking up early, what a drag.
comment by saida — August 29, 2008

So I’m 22 years old. Born and raised in a NYC suburb and trying to go to school for the FOURTH time haha. Amidst the hoodrats and cholas that go to my college, I will probably stick out like a sore thumb. I’m going to be wearing a pair of shorts from Old Navy which have become my one and only pair of shorts for this entire summer. A turquoise vintage Mexico tshirt that was cut up into a muscle tee with a black tank underneath. On my feet a pair of black slouchy boots that I adore the heck out of. My bag? Hopefully my new Fred Flare fast food bag. If not, my new Tokidoki carnival themed gem. Accessorizing with my forearm tattoo and my wrist tattoo. And my favorite necklace, my ribcage. AND DONE.
comment by Allie Renee — August 29, 2008

Hola — I’m homeschool so on the first day of school I’ll be wearing my yellow nail polish, my cutest/lucky undies and my favorite most comfy PJ’s (oh and of course my cast, I broke myself again!) and last if I’m feeling crazy my pretty turquoise risky-bussiness sunglasses!!!
comment by Britt — August 29, 2008

comment by Joy — August 29, 2008

Exiting I know- our pitiful school uniform. We’re the largest public school in the state, so I guess uniformity is a must. Blue shirt, kahki pants, and Sperry’s. Where’s the uniqueness? I wish I had a cool backpack. I’d stand out.
comment by Michael — August 29, 2008

I wore these sweet new black slacks, a kelly green 3/4 sleeve top, a crazy multi-colored long beaded necklace. And these classy wedge shoes that only can wear two days in a row.
comment by Rachel — August 29, 2008

Im gonna tell you about my really first day of school, when i was about 4 or 5… dunno, anyway I had these really cool purple pants, wich i loved so much, so the hole first week i wore my pretty purple pants, yellow sneakers, my pokemon backpack full equiped with my fav toys and my barbie walkman, and of course the school stuff such as crayons, pilots and color pencils… sweet old times!!!
comment by Adri — August 29, 2008

OK, I am not going back to school, but the thought of outfits and school instantly brought back all the anxiety I used to feel regarding the pressure of an amazing back to school outfit. How did I get through it? I remember in 3rd grade, a boy liked my best friend, Becca, and I. We didn’t know how to shake him! We said, I know- let’s wear the ugliest outfit we can think of tomorrow- that will work! It was a plan and wasn’t my mother shocked (and suspicious) when I showed up at breakfast with my great-grandmothers handmade sweater with puffy houses!? When I got to school, there was Becca, who was always prettier than me anyway wearing an adorable shirt with a rainbow going across the long sleeves and across the front in one spectacular, colorful stripe. It was awesome. I cried my brains out because I was stuck in the hot puffy sweater with yarn houses and Becca just stared at me wide eyed mouthing across the classroom “It was the worst thing I could find!” What I wouldn’t give to rock that shirt today.
comment by Tiffany — August 29, 2008

For my first day of school, I wore a great purple and dark purple striped top with a pinky/purple skirt (that matched my dread-y hair!) black leggings and bright yellow knee-high rainboots! the shirt and skirt didn’t match, but my hair has pinky, pink/purple and dark purple in it, so that pulled it all together.
comment by Robin — August 29, 2008

One of my favorite back to school outfits EVER was: An orange Hypercolor Tee Shirt with Navy Z Cavaricci parachute pants. God, I would wear them today if I could actually fit in the clothes I owned when I was 9 years old.
comment by BitchFace — August 29, 2008

I wore a ridiculously colorful outfit, most like due to the fact that my first class started at 12, and I skipped chapel (I go to a christian college). I wore a purple 3/4 sleeve shirt with a pink and white striped empire shirt over it, which i belted, my teal skinny jeans, turquoise gladiators, and to TOP IT ALL OFF my fred flare SCHOOL BUS BAG! I had way too much caffeine.
comment by Tiffany — August 29, 2008

Well, school all ready started for me and on the first day i wore jeans and a comic book teeshirt from charlotte russe. i had my record player bag from target and i wore pink puffy earrings and black flats. i looked awesome!
comment by Jessi — August 29, 2008

I’m too old for back to school, but my kids are not. My 17 year old will probably wear something really crazy and very artsy. She has a distinctive fashion taste that looks messy but somehow put together. I got her the watch and alarm clock that speak japanese, so I hope she’ll use them too. Love your site FF!!!
comment by lisa sutker — August 29, 2008

I will be wearing nothing but my Obama Flip Flops!! I live in Denver and for the convention, these are the coolest flip flops with Obama heads all over the toes!!! I wanted to add a picture, but couldn’t download it! Check it out by searching google!! I love your stuff and drive around talking on my pink phone connecting to my cell!!
comment by Kathy — August 29, 2008

i am going into my first year of a library studies masters program, and i have a great independently made t-shirt that says “future librarian” on the front. i think i will pair it with some dark jeans and a cardigan and some nice flats (maybe bright pink!), just to look somewhat the part! i am pretty nervous, though!
comment by leslie — August 29, 2008

so, on my first day of school, i will wear…a uniform. [shocking, i know]. but, i feel like i shouldn’t be discredited, just because my freedom of dress is. i’m totally gonna accessorize like it’s hot. i’m talkin huge bright sunglasses, my old decrepid keds, and of corse, my awesome sprinkle ring from none other than this haven of a website. so, guess what would go perfect with my totally rad ensoumble? [spelled horribly wrong, but screw it] an amazing fast food backpack! [plus whatever little tidbits that it may include] sooo..yea. i think i deserve kudos. for not looking like every other minion that walks through the gate to our little school. cuz honestly, i have no choice.
comment by paige — August 29, 2008

I actually wore a turquoise shirt with some shorts and flip flops. I felt like a total dork though because my best friend was wearing the same shirt and people would ask us if we planned it but we didn’t, haha.

comment by Linda — August 29, 2008

ha, weeellll i’m to cool (old) for school anymore (meaning 20), but i’d love to win anything free from FF! X3 my life is really not that interesting…. i live in good ole VA and I work in construction. no joke! now that i say it, it sounds kinda funny for a burly construction worker to like a kawaii lil site like FF..(i’m not really that burly–kinda on the wimpy side actually) but yeah, my latest FF purchase was the mini desert erasers that i will never use because they are much too awesome. i will conclude by saying that the reason FF is the best website in the world is because of all the free shipping offers! shipping is a pet peeve of mine, so when you guys feel generous, i feel tha love!!!!!!!!! thank you and PICK ME X3
comment by GIgi — August 29, 2008

thanks jeebus i am NOT returning to class this year!! 5 years of college was enough and I was anxious that I wouldn’t finish within that time! i’m glad i finally managed to graduate despite barely passing the math requirement… i’m a humanities and english major so math can bite me! i hated dressing up to go to class so i usually ended up wearing the same pair of pants and t-shirts. i couldn’t never be bothered to try to look cute… i was too busy trying to pass and not flunk out!
comment by manny — August 29, 2008

ha! what an extremely sad question for me to answer. I wore my plaid burgundy skirt, with matching polo. To miz things up i wore gray tights, tons of colorful bangles and rings. (i go to catholic school) Lately Ive been wearing flowers in my hair and ties too.

after raiding my grandma’s closet, I have decided to wear a pair of bingo-pattern bloomers, some super stunner laceless reeboks in gramma-tan, an I LOVE MY KITTIES t-shirt clad with feline behinds, and, last but not least, granny pants! nothing beats those high waisted suckers. wait, did i mention i would top it off with dentures straight from the bathroom counter? first impressions are everything, ya know.
comment by Tia :) — August 29, 2008

First day of school, which for me was college, I wore… clothes? I’m trying to remember… A purple shirt and I don’t know. Jeans. That’s safe. However, had I worn anything else it probably would’ve been a panda costume. Just because my school has the most amazing chinese restaurant nearby. And who doesn’t want to see a panda on their first day of school?
comment by Stephanie — August 29, 2008

I have to wear my uniform back to school so there isnt much of a choice for me when I pick out my outfit. But what I am able to choose is my bag (diesel messenger bag) and stud (pearl) earrings. I love fred flare and spend ages looking at everything on the site while listening to the fred flare boom box.

i wore a frilly, off-white juicy couture blouse and black-blue plaid shorts. my hair was in pig tails.

My birthday (September 3) is the day before the first day of school. I’ll wear a wacky T-shirt with a balloon on it or this shirt looks good too: http://www.t-shirts.com/printed/default.asp?cmd=detail&type=I&item_id=10058 Maybe I’ll place some giftwrap strategically across my shoulder like that of a beauty pageant contestant and hope to get presents (or tomatoes) thrown my way. As for my clothes, anything outside of the laundry room is fair game. I’m pro college life! Haha.

comment by Amber — August 29, 2008

This year I’m a senior at my high school! Some of the other girls in my class came up with the idea to make senior girls 2009 t-shirts! They said senior girls 2009 on the front in zebra print, and on the back it had a excerpt form the Vitamin C song “Friends Forever”! So on the first day of school which was August 18th all the senior girls wore their t-shirts! I wore mine with jeans and my gray converse!
comment by Megan — August 29, 2008

I’m way past “the first day of school” at 49, but I do love backpacks and messenger bags for the usual purse and sketch items. There’s a lot to be said for a bag that will hold a cell phone, wallet full of ID, credit, and other cards, a baggie of hard candy, a sketchbook, and an insanely huge amount of pencils, markers, erasers, and a bottle of Klonopin. Incidentally, finding your website has kept me from buying boring presents for others.

i wore a vintage plaid shirt, unbuttoned. and a RUN DMC shirt, classic skinny jeans, and little brown booties! and a elephant necklace.

Well, since i have to wear a black & white uniform to school, im gonna pull my hair back and wear my GINORMOUS diamond-ring bracelet to spiff things up a bit. I’m excited. Not much else, because the diamond is so flashy. I wish it was a real diamond. [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/ohpa42.jpg[/IMG]

comment by aileen — August 29, 2008

Well I’m not really in school anymore since I could never really handle going to school and working at the same time, I’d just die from exhaustion, but if I were going to school, I’d probably wear something simple like my WilliamRast jeans and one of my T-shirts that has or says something on it. Probably my “Mrs. McMahon” T-Shirt since I am absolutely obsessed with Julian McMahon from “Nip/Tuck”! Sexiest man alive, oh yeah baby! If I won this backpack it would definitely be put to good use because I’d take it with me to Vegas next month!

So let’s see…I’m 23 years old, soon to be 24 next month on the 13th. I’m going to party in Vegas, go see a few shows, go to eat, go to shop. That’s mainly the reason why I go to Vegas. Gambling is a big waste of money. So you want to know more about me. Well, I love to sing, dance, write fictional stories, do anything involving Julian McMahon, shop, and read. I can sing exactly like Christina Aguilera, and yeah, that’s about it! I simply love all the stuff you guys have on here. It’s super cute! I used to buy a bunch of stuff from you every payday. You guys rock!

Well on the first day of my second year of college I wore some dark blue jeans that I folded up the bottoms…then i wore this shirt that is dark blue with pink faded writing…then these blue plaid flats. But then half way into schcool I had to change into gym clothes eek..so it ruined it all. Woot Woot!
comment by Ashley — August 29, 2008

My best friend and I are 12, and we figured out we would be in every class together, (because we requested it.) so I wore an “I’m with stupid” shirt pointing to the right, and she wore a “I’m the stupid one” shirt, pointing to herself. so in every class we sat next to each other, and I sat on the left, and she sat on the right so everyone could see our shirts like that. It was awesome, everyone thought it was cool.
comment by Lilly — August 29, 2008

i plan to wear a plain white tee, a cotton, hot pink, high waisted skirt, a hot pink peace sign pendant , converse all star pink low tops and of course the fredflare school bus tote

I started school on August 14, but I wore my fave purple cardigan with a lavendar top, and dark skinny jeans. I topped the look off with my converse high tops, and a string of beads. i luv fred flare!

comment by Lizzie — August 29, 2008

i’m a medical student, so apparently i’m ALWAYS in school, and unfortunately, i have to dress “professionally” at all times and don a ridiculously short white coat. on occasion, i’ll wear some purple tights or something to make me feel a little spunkier.

Whatever is clean!!!
comment by franken — August 29, 2008

This year, as a Senior, I felt it was my duty to cover my burning love for all things aesthetically pleasing and cute and dress like I was “over school” & over looking good for it. I was feeling the vibe of “I just don’t care to brush my hair” while trying to summon the muse of “Woke up ten minutes ago but still look messily chic”. However my muse failed me and my vibes died. I woke up extra early (5:30) and realized that I never got to do my online shopping for the year (Fred Flare is def. on my online shopping top list) and that all my clothes would not be adequate for te first day! I rummaged for something of decency. The only things I was allowed to buy this year were a pair of Target shorts, a Target shirt, a Grandpa vest and $10 slippers. In a frenzy I wore a combo of the three- Target railroad stripes and gold slippers and an old blue shirt complete with Guatemalan woven belt. I didn’t get any of those nice first day of school comments

comment by Emily H. — August 29, 2008

I’m an exchange student from New Zealand, and Tuesday will be my first day at an American high school, so my first day of school outfit will hopefully give a good impression! ;D I think I’ll look like this: -way baggy oversized grey t-shirt - bright green short shorts -AMAZING new shoes from urban outfitters, my new fave store (how did I survive 16 years in NZ without it?!) + of course some flippin’ cool accessories - fuschia headband, a few chunky necklaces, piano watch, and my friendship bracelet to remind me of home!
comment by rosie — August 29, 2008

On my first day of school, I’ll be wearing my Baracktimus Prime shirt and a hand-made skirt with hope in the seams… and hopefully a backpack from Fred Flare. Baracktimus Prime: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/colloquiallife/vacation017.jpg

comment by Hannah — August 29, 2008

Haven’t really thought about it, but I’ll probably wear my tie-front jean shorts from forever 21 and a crisp white shirt. Then again, I’ll probably change my mind! can’t quite predict the future, ha. ps I’m 20 (that sounds so old)
comment by Virginia — August 29, 2008

I’m not in school now and probably won’t be unless I decide grad school is in my future, but I will leave a comment saying what I’d be wearing for my first day back: -denim skirt -argyle knee highs -striped cardigan -cute graphic tee -adorable tote bag w/amelie pin -mary janes Can I mix stripes & argyle? Sure I can! I’m pretty sure my imaginary outfit sums me up pretty well.

comment by Diana — August 29, 2008

On my first day arriving on campus I was wearing a geometric patterned mini-dress with a graphic print trench coat… Everyone else was wearing a school logo shirt… Lets just say I stood out a lot (while lookin’ fierce, I might add). I basically plan on wearing that same outfit to the first day of class. Who says you can’t look good for an 8 a.m. class?
comment by Maiko Heflick — August 29, 2008

school hasn’t quite started yet, but i probably plan to wear some of them hollister shorts and a simple colored tshirt so that i can choose a good accessory and keep things easy. Super excited to see all my friends again, but super un-excited for those loads of homework that are en-route. oh these high school days. they’re delicious
comment by Erin — August 29, 2008

I go to a private school, so i’ll probably be wearing my summer uniform which consists of a navy skort, a white crested polo, white knee-highs, black flats by Steve Madden, and a black messenger bag by Roxy. I’ll also accessorize tons, but unfortunately i don’t have a link to my uniform outfit.

comment by sierra — August 29, 2008

i am a senior at MEHS. right now in school we have to wear uniforms because kids decide to fight because others are wearing the wrong colors. which is a stupid thing to do, so im not able to wear my clothes that i bought at urban outfitters and my koifish vans which is a bummer :/. but im not going to let it bring me down, i still enjoy school, im really friendly, i love going out and having fun with the girls too :]. i love all kinds of movies and im a one of a kind chica[girl]. :]
comment by yesenia — August 29, 2008

So for the first day of school i wanted to look great, but of course not make it look like i tried to hard. So i went with some things of my own creation. lets go head to toe shall we.. My hair is currently purple and turquoise but to add a little flare i had it up with a rainbow ribbon. I wore a simple black tank with a very cute vintage feel red vest (which some how didnt clash with the hair) threw on some faded black skinny jeans. I finished the outfit with my giant demonia boots with nine buckles and a hand made bag. all i need to make this outfit offically amazing is that bangin value meal backpack ^.^ and since my birthday justttt past it would make a smashing bday gift. hint hint. btw i freakin love FF!!!! seriously.
comment by Tricia — August 29, 2008

on the first day if school, i will be wearing my UNI! uniform, that is. but i plan to spice it up by wearing fredflare’s superahdorable PB & J earrings, a purple orchid hairclip, and multicolored shoelaces. at my school, they’re kinda strict about the whole dress code thing (”Kinda”=UNDERSTATEMENT) so I’m a bit limited. But that totes doesn’t stop me from making a fabulous sophomore entrance!! XOXO

comment by marilyn — August 29, 2008

I knew I wasn’t going to be excited for the first day of school because I go to a private school and ah-viously I HAVE TO WEAR AN UGLY UNIFORM! But not this year… I totally rocked it up!!!! Our school likes simplistic things which sucks because I’m the exact opposite and for my eighth grade year at at kindergarten through eight grade school I’m tired of being plain-old-Jane! And this year, I was the exact opposite!!!! I ripped up my plaid skirt to give it a “rock star” edgy feel to it. I paired it with gray, fuzzy leg warmers which were totally vintage (I LOVE THEM) and for my white polo- I replaced that with a Rolling Stones Junk Food tee. My hair? Oh gosh where to start!? I totaly curled my like super long hair and then messed it up so I looked like a good girl gone bad. Awesum rite? And I have this belt that has all these beer bottle caps on it and I threw that on top of my skirt! Oh and for my backpack?? I tie-dyed my old Abercrombie messanger bag!!!! So there you go! From good girl to bad- from spic and spam to rock and roll- from a goody goody toshoes to a rebel! JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT! and a fred flare backpack would tottaly complete the package.
comment by Kalaur Kalberstein — August 29, 2008

I’ll be starting my first day of college next week and this summer I’ve really worked at getting a better wardrobe. I was usually a jeans and tshirt kind of gal but lately I’ve been finally dressing the way I’ve wanted to since I was a little kid. For my first day of school I’ll be wearing my favorite black camisole with my new navy blue half sleeve sweater over it. I’ll be wearing some dark blue jeans and a pair of black peep toe flats.
comment by Michelle — August 29, 2008

I wore a red dress with small white flowers on it and a grey vest over that and to dress it down, some low top white chuck taylors. I didn’t really look that normal since i kinda go to a ghetto school so everyone was in jordans, but i felt cute

It’s the perfect bag to bring to school and of course goes with anything! I really shouldn’t be thinking about what i’m going to wear beacuse then i start to freak out thinking ” is that outfit not good enough for the 1st day od school”?…. But anyway thats what i plan on wearing! So far!

Hi i’m 15 a sophomore and I started school on the 25th. I wore a pair of skinny jeans not too tight but just right with converse and black dress top. It was accompanied with a few bracelets and a necklace. Nothing too fancy but casual looking and comfortable enough to have fun the first day of school :] p.s. the site is wonderful. All the designs are amazing on this site. Everyone has inspired me to wear better clothes :] thank you. keep it up fredflare.com!

I’m a senior this year in high school! It’s super exciting. School started for me in Florida on the 18th. But I feel like already this is actually shaping up to be one of my favorite years. For the first day I wore my Cheap Monday jeans (which I got at TJ Maxx for like, $17!) and sleeveless black tunic with bright yellow and blue embroidery. I felt cute and comfy which made the first day back 10 times better

comment by Rachel Rose — August 29, 2008

For my first day of school there was a torrential rain coming down. Instead of wearing my original idea of my pair of sailor-style shorts I went with a skinny jean, a magenta v-kneck pocket tee, a khaki colored vest, black pointed flats, and vintage jewelry. Kept me dry and cute haha.

comment by gayle — August 29, 2008

on the first day of school, i channeled my inner kate moss (a la paris vogue April 2008)and wore a pair of frayed denim shorts, a slouchy, tri-blend tee from american apparel with a band printed on it, my minnetonka moccasin ankle boots in black, and i topped off the look with a loose black boyfriend cardigan with grey piping. I used minimal accesories and wore my hair wavy and imperfect. As for the feedback- i love FF, your blog is so entertaining. The only thing i have to say is GET THOSE CAT GLASSES BACK. i missed out on those big time. xoxo stephanie, 16

Otherwise you know I’d bust out my neon graphic tee, peacock printed mini and vintage adidas

oh my! so many comments… I’m unfortunately in that “I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-with-my-life-now-that-I’ve-finished-high-school” phase, which is fine with me at the moment. however, there is this small (ok, ok… rather large) part of me that irrevocably misses elementary school. I mean… field trips, class parties, crafts, recess! all I can do now is go to walmart and look wistfully for a long-gone lisa frank backpack or a folder with a picture of a kitten on it. I don’t think that would fly in college, anyway.

Im really pathethic compared to the rest over here. I had to wear school’s uniform, short navy skirt and white blouse. No dyed hair or whatsoever makeup. Not even 2nd earhole was allowed. But I still go against rule , leave long ffringe and side fringe. It’ll be really cool to bring along like the fredflare backpack to school.

On my first day, I wore a bright yellow shirt with 3/4 length sleeves with a gray cardigan over, and the sleeves of the shirt rolled over the sleeves of the cardigan. I wore a pair of old skinny jeans and brown Steve Madden gladiator sandals. Accessories were simple: all I had was a gold silhouette necklace from Forever 21 and a vintage Timex watch.

comment by Hayleigh — August 29, 2008

My first day of college was a personal fashion holiday. I usually love to dress it down and I kept it modest, but sweet. I sported a hand-made Tegan and Sara tee screenprinted on a blue American Apparel tee over a white tank. Below, kept it classic with a light skinny jean, tan messenger bag, and killer gladiator sandals. They looked horrible in the box but but I loved them on my feet. I’m also a necklace whore and topped it all off with an over-sized magnifying glass necklace from lucky brand, a clunky gold owl, and some homemade hemp. On the wrists: more hemp and my old ONE campaign band. And always a spare ponytail holder!

On my first day I rocked the hippie/90’s/ just plain me vibe. I wore a cute Tye Dye tank top that my friend bought for me at a hippy shop layered over a neon green basic tee tied in back with a purple ribbon in the middle to add some unique touch. On bottom i wore some bright orange striped short shorts and hot pink and turquoise boat shoes. AND of course i topped it off with HUGE sunglasses :] AND THIS OF COURSE IS MY AWESOME OUTFIT.HEHE

That’s a though one! I plan on wearing a black Secondhand Serenade band t-shirt with skinny jean knee-length jeans. Perhaps some earings, and my always present glasses with the honeycomb pattern on then with my favorite penguin converse sneaks! Can’t wait for September 2nd!

Awesome backpack! I’m going to be rocking some super dark wash straight leg [not really skinny, just straight down from knee-ish area] jeans, a bright blue scoopneck t-shirt, and a black cardigan tank vest over top! Oh, and my classic converse of course, as well as some cool FF accessories! Oh, and don’t forget the fake glasses!

I wore a fern green polo with a peter pan collar and a little rouching up top, dark wash jean crops and leapard print sandals. Had a few chunky accessories. I love everything about FF: love the site, love the blog, love you guys!

comment by Shannon — August 29, 2008

im a college freshie and of coarse i looked totally highschool on my first day and stuck out like a sore thumb. nothing too crazy though. i wore a floral maxi dress that i got from bonnaroo with yellow tights and white hightops and a zebra print cardigan. to finish it off i had on uneven marlyn monroe earrings by betsey johnson.
comment by Tristan — August 29, 2008

I plan on donning a very large grey sweater over some plaid tights from Scotland and ankle boots. I also have some huge, nerd-tastic plastic frames, but I don’t think I’ll wear them considering school pictures are also on the first day…
comment by Brianna — August 29, 2008

My first day of school is Tuesday. i live in cali and i’m 13 going into 7th grade. for the first day of school, i’m going to wear black capris that are sort of pulled up and it has a chain on it with a black belt with little studs every other hole. for a top, i’m going to wear a pink loyal army shirt that has a togo box and hot dog on it (hi in chinese/howdy). i will wear my tokidoki jacket with the moofia all over it with that, and a kitty aviator hat with goggles. for shoes, i’m going to wear cyan nike’s with a bright pink nike sign on it, pink laces, and gold trimming. they’re awesome…or my black john fluevog cowboy boots. they’re both cool. the only bad thing is i had a party today, so i got my face burned (i have really delicate/sensitive skin) so it’s suckish.

it’s all good though. I FORGOT! I’ll also wear my armwarmers. Who doesn’t love those. D: Please pick me? XD :3 Sara!!
comment by sara — August 29, 2008

I have to wear a uniform to school because they decided to be unfair and punish all of the students forever and ever, but i’m switching schools next year so i’d be wearing my favorite awesome black jeans and layered tanks with a cardigan.
comment by chimene — August 29, 2008

Back when I went to school, we had a strict uniform policy (it was a private college, but also an arts school). It was really frustrating for pretty much everyone - not only because it limited out creativity, but also because the uniforms themselves were expensive and really dorky. But we were arts students. We were creative. So we started finding ways around it - black closed in shoes could be black ballet pumps. Our black tights could be patterned. Our one piece of jewelery could be a massive colored bracelet, without technically breaking any rules. And there was pretty much no limit on hair. For five years, around the earlier part of this decade, I rocked some seriously pink hair. Eventually, they ended up changing the rules so you hair had to be s natural color, but in the end there was so much outrage they ditched the whole uniform about 2 years after i graduated. Although i was sad that i hadn’t been around to let my creativity run free, I am proud to have been part of the group who challenged the authorities with our alternative fashion, and didn’t let them bring us down. Here’s a photo of me, circa 2002, out for dinner with my pink hair.

comment by Sarah — August 29, 2008

What I wore for my first day of school was a shirt by Mighty Fine and it is of a Dr. Seuss illustration. The shirt says, “A person’s a person no matter how small”. I wore some skinny jeans with the tee, that I had bought at Forever 21, and some white gladiators. My hair was put in a bohemian braid pulled back into a ponytail. I had these chunky flower earrings that matched the white belt I was wearing from Mexico. I was wearing a charm bracelet. So that it what I wore my first day of school. Another girl also ahd a Dr.Deuss shirt but hers was of Thing 1 & Thing 2. :]

My first day of school was last WEDNESDAY because of the chance of a hurricane coming our way, but I wore the usual school uniform of navy blue pants with a white polo. However, I spiced up the outfit with some cool kicks and a very unique and colorful totebag!!

comment by Daisy — August 29, 2008

I go to college now and the first day of school is so much more different than it is in high school. But I’m going to wear a lavendar tank top and a blue floral high-waisted cotton skirt over the tank top. It is then topped with one of my vintage-y pink cardigans. Add some cute pink sandals and wa-lah!
comment by Linda — August 29, 2008

well on my first day *ever* I wore a maroon flannel skirt & shirt set, with buster browns & knee socks, and I sported a green mickey mouse school bag (I believe mickey was dressed as an astronaut!)
comment by Stockton — August 29, 2008

First of all I’d like to say from the bottom of my heart I am a true fred flare fan and im not trying to suck up I truly am the stuff you offer for purchase is sooo cute and retro it makes me miss the 80’s so much more. On the first day of school I wore Cute dark wash hip hugging jeans that flare at the bottom, a cute dressy and lacy white top, a fred flare birthday cake ring on my right ring finger, and a fred flar yellow school bus tote(super cute as well!) That tote has to be my all time favorite and it has lots of space which is great so I can put my books in it. Lastly a pair of black low top converse.

My school outfit is sadly going to be a uniform— but IF I could (hey, a girl can dream!), I’d definitely go with some laid-back jeans, my trusty black chucks with my lucky rainbow laces, and a sweet pokemon tee-shirt. ;D Gotta know your roots, right? A nice camera would be pretty sweet, but… can’t have everything!

comment by Serena — August 29, 2008

Well, in kindergarten on my first day, I wore a purple Rugrats shirt with Angelica on it that said “Cookies, Juice, and Comic Books.” That shirt paired with some leggings was an outfit that just screamed “future scholar”. As for my junior year, well I plan on wearing a t-shirt from J.Crew, safari shorts, and some cool gold sandals!

I wore my super amazing navy blue vintage bowling bowling button up shirt, complete with the name chris written in coursive across the left chest side, neat pockets with red and white trimminf. Super flattering, and my favorite shirt. I paired it with a pair of silver skinny jeans and some tom’s shoes. www.tomsshoes.com Saving the kids while looking stylish. I wore my metal heart friendship necklace and my long pendant necklace with feathers. I put my minnie mouse ears on my head and was ready to go! http://a638.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/128/l_001453004acc0bb5869f64dea454687d.jpg second day i was ready to go in my america apparel white strapless bubble dress and plaid vest. I wore the same feathered necklace and a pair of black gladiator sandles, here’s the look: http://a791.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/19/l_efeb83f24e8250cf2d79fd261a50aece.jpg http://a682.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/14/l_154240e44eaaf23f10e57714665ac7c9.jpg love you guys’ stuff and everything you do here.

Living in Arizona, nobody here really has ANY GOOD sence of style…I was practicly the only person at my High school wearing something colorful. I decided to wear some of the colorful shoes I make that are pretty awesome(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j129/jllyblly122/100_0225.jpg) My locket that great great Aunt gave me for my birthda last year thats from 1932. I used my panda bag for my stuff(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j129/jllyblly122/040.jpg) I wore my hair up like a 50’s doo pinupgirl kind of thingg. Its ironic that i didn’t wear anything purple for the first day of school because thats color is pretty boss. Me and my candy stripped tunic shirt from forever21. And my cuffed denim shorts also from the same place as my shirt. OH! and my Paul Frank watch thats suuuuper cool(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j129/jllyblly122/spd_2007101164202_b.jpg) Plus my Cop sunglasses that my teacher gave me since I wore them too much. hmmm, saying why I would want to win this backpack, there’s a 1 out of 5 chance i’ll win, but most likely someone else has a more snazzy outfit than I whos imagination is like BAMMMMM. Plus I need a new backpack, having the same backpack for the last 10 years isn’t the best in the world. Oh, and, Fredflare is cooler than the other side of the pillow (Cheesy? I know)
comment by Angelica — August 29, 2008

I wore a very clean, fitted white v-neck shirt and my favorite grey denim shorts. Plain you say?!!! Well, you’re right. I’m usually pretty lazy/minimalist when it comes to getting dressed (I like big, interesting bags over small, super-patterned clothes). I’m happy with it though - and my clothes were mad comfy and I felt splendiferous on my first day of school. On that note, I took with me my gypsy bag. It has been dubbed thus because of the gold sequins that are interspersed over the pea green, amber, and old-watermelon-red fabric that forms the bulk of the bag. It looks European/South Asian-y in design, but I got it in California, so who knows where the heck it originated from? I wore my thick brown slippers (they are just nicely/moderately padded because the “I can see Yao-Ming’s bald spot” height shoes make my clumsy feet quake with fear). They feel good on the legs that I injured playing weekend warrior on the the last Saturday of summer (I went box sliding and to a waterpark and killed my legs running up and down hills for hours! I had to go to bed with 2 bags of frozen soy beans on my legs). Edamame = Yum!

comment by claire — August 29, 2008

Truthfully, I have no idea what I will be wearing on the first day of school since it starts on Wednesday, and being that it is Friday night, my outfit has not yet been picked out. However, I am forced to wear a hideous maroon-colored polo shirt because I am a quote, “ambassador” at my school, which means I get to show new kids around in a fabulous polo that has already been supplied for me. Oh, joy.

comment by Rachel — August 29, 2008

Well… I don’t really get too crazy on the first day of school, not anymore weirder than I already look anyway. I’ll probably wear a pair of skinny jeans that I found at goodwill, rolled up with long socks colorful, a long grey and white polka-dot tank top with green stripes and flowers at the bottom, and My home-made glow-in-the-dark ponybead bracelet, with my pink and white converse. And I’ll have my chel-c hawk up.
comment by Emi — August 29, 2008

I’ll be wearing my new hoodie that says “Marine Girlfriend” the back since my boyfriend just joined the Marines and not many people know. So I decided to show that off. Then I’ll probably wear my teal tank under that and some black skinny jeans. I’ll pair that with some black converse and my pink jeweled cross necklace. : ) Here’s my hoodie link :http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/ProtectorOfLight/293629054v7_240×240_Back.jpg

Then by favorite black shinny “pipe” jeans that i’ve had for so long their worn on the thighso they look vintage. Then my black white and yellow semi baby doll shirt,that ties at the perfect place right at my natural waist line with a tube top like princess neckline and thick straight straps. That and a sparkely yellow thin headband and a 40’s flip.

Because I am an unfortunate inhabitant of upstate New York; in about the most redneck town you could come across, i always try to dress the craziest on the first day of school. ( just to brighten things up a bit, what with all the jeans and john deere t-shirts) So I decided to go with a slightly dressy animal-print dress with black leggings underneath and added a green cardigan for color. I can’t wait for school just to wear this outfit! i dig fredflare by the way—thank you for being the only site to realize how cool risky business sunglasses are and then sell a variety of them. here’s the link– http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo178/joelynnxdilla/backtoschool.jpg
comment by Joelynn — August 29, 2008

Hmmm, I haven’t really thought about what I’ll wear on my first day. Depending on the weather, I might wear a pair of black shorts with yellow peep-toe heels that have a sweet buckle on them and white piping. I’ll also probably wear my sick belt that is covered in “Rock Cards” and has a giant gold buckle. As far as a shirt goes, I think I’ll go with a simple white tank top. I think that’s pretty much it:) P.S. this contest better be open to Canadians!

Hello!!! I am a 22 year old female named Dana. haha. I am about to start grooming school. I won’t be able to wear anything too cute. I will wear khaki pants, and a comfy t-shirt. I will wear water-resistant shoes as well. Hahah Being a dog groomer unfortunately is not glamourous. I like to glam up when I am not working. I will dress my little doggies up as cute as I possibly can. I have already bought some bandanas and made some bows that will make them look adorable. Thank you Fred Flare for being awesome!!!!! I love everything I have ordered on here!!!

Since it was freakin 98 99 degrees, I couldn’t, and didn’t end wearing skinny jeans. I ended up wearing this pretty new Fall Out Boy t-shirt that I got from Hot Topic. It think it’s supposed to look like a rib cage, but it’s made out of banana’s and pink swirl, and it’s says Fall Out Boy in pink lettering on the bottom! XD Here’s the link if you wanna check it out. http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028391&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442176075&bmUID=1220066638249 For a bottom I wore light blue, checkered shorts that I got that Urban Outfitters, since checkered is ALL the rage this year! I just wore black Reef flip-flops for my feet, my Clandestine Industries red “bat heart” necklace. Here’s the link to that too. It’s Pete Went’z clothing line if your wondering. http://www.clandestineindustries.com/ And sum tortoise- colored shades. I know none of it is from FF, but I RLLY like all your stuff!

Hi, I’m Allie and i am 20 years old. I’m not in school anymore but I do miss it so much. I just love being around everyone and having somethingto keep me busy all day. I wish i could go back to high school. I am tho thinking about going to an art school, something for my fashion. But anyways, if I was going back, I would be wearing A really cute polka dot (red, blue and yellw dots) long tee with a pair of dark skinny jeans and maybe a blue faux croc belt over the shirt. Then i would wear yellow pointed flat or kitten heel show. My purse would have to be some sort of leathery material but bright red. My make up would be very natural because i already have a lot of color going one everywhere else, maybe a hint a blue on my eyes. And last but not least, my hair would be in a low side pony tale with a lil poof at the bangs. How cute does that sound?!?! Well PICK ME!!! I love fredflare so much! I wish I could buy everything, then I’d be a very happy girl. Thank you!!!

comment by mackenzie — August 29, 2008

Hi Fredflare, I’m Sara Elizabeth and I’m so happy you’re doing this Keith! Haha, I think I’m going to be wearing a white printed “BROAKLYN” tee from this store named Oak, that’s in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ny. and turquoise colored skinny jeans from Forever 21 and short, brown minnetonka boots from Urban Outfitters and a magenta scarf on my head. I’m going to be 17 years old come this February, and I’m from New Jersey (”Jersey Shore” to be specific) and I’ll be going into my third year of high school haha. I work at Forever 21, and I’d say I have my own sense of style with a little hint of indie added into it. I’m a fun person, not afraid to be myself. Thanks for the opportunity, may the best customer win! [:
comment by Sara — August 29, 2008

My first day of school is going to be a a little 80’s and a little glam rock. Since I am such a rock star and a cutie to boot I’ll be wearing my vintage Jem t shirt (if you don’t know who Jem is) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNqrWm1M3Sc I’ll also be sporting my mini leather jacket and gold sequence mini skirt over aqua colored tights. Of course I’ll have some bling my B.A.M.F. license necklace should do nicely a;so my white faux snake skin belt with gold glitter outlining. And to round out the ensemble on my feet I will have my custom chuck taylors see here http://www.converse.com/index.aspx?mode=c1&mid=139509244&prodid=chuTayHiCanRed0602&csid=85#c1 And on my head well my cotton candy pink hair. Well that’s it Im super excited to go back to fast track (college classes for high school students) and I looooove fred flare muah xoxo
comment by Hena — August 29, 2008

Hola fredflare! Well…..what will I wear on my first day??? I have no idea yet. I’m thinking wearing a striped sweater shirt with a dark wash jeans and vans. If you saw it you’d think its cute too. The value meal backpack would look great with it too!

comment by Kaeala — August 29, 2008

Yo! Alright so first day of school i wore a Green button up flannel with my Levi’s 511’s and toped it off with some nice nike dunks. Also i accessoried with the FredFlare Talking Japanese Watch!
comment by Ronnie M — August 29, 2008

i have to wear a uniform to school but in my head i’m wearing a white shirt with puff sleeves and a black vest (because it reminds me of the fabulous christian siriano lol. i just got addicted to PR4.), a denim skirt, cool bangles as always and my fabulous black flats with purple-grey sequin swirls. (:
comment by michelle — August 29, 2008

I’m taking online college courses this semester, so I didn’t have to go to the school, but this fall I can’t wait to wear my skinny jeans, boots, and cardigans.
comment by Gina — August 29, 2008

HA-I Keith!! I am 16 years old from Singapore. AND I am here to tell my story… But first and foremost,there is something you need to know first. Well, in our school(or our country),every student has to wear school uniform

(unless you are in university or in international school)thus,we always try to bend our rules a wee bit.Basically we can just wear whatever we want,just when the discipline master or mistress comes,you need to faster hide your things. So.. on my first day of school(in the past),i wore my school uniform as usual.Make my skirt a “little” shorter(long uniform skit is not nice.The original unaltered skirt is below ankle 3 inches.so we “fold” up 6 or more inches)(like gg it girl,Serena.

) add a headband or a ribbon to spice up the hairstyle I am having that day.I will also add some bangles(gummy bangles etc.) to my wrist because no bangles = blah . Oh, and socks!No wearing of ankle socks is one of the school rules but I pretended i dint know about it XD. On rainy days,as it is “cold” , I wear jackets(surely jacket is allowed right…)that just make the school uniform not look like one,like a sweater(I like stripe or checkered sweater.)or a Hoodie. Finally,my bag i was carrying i think was like a weekender but after a few months,the handle broke.Now i am carrying a haversack.(Thus my interest in writing this

) To add on to my last words,I did not mention any brand because I feel that having/not having a branding is not important to me because branding NOT = to nice looking. __________________________________ (Amelia ♥ fredflare)

Hi, my name’s Ashley and I’m 16. On the first day of school I’m planning on wearing a jean shirt with a white t and a dark blue t shirt cardigan over it. and my blue flats. thanksssss
comment by Ashley — August 29, 2008

I just transferred to a new school, so I wore something that made me feel comfortable, and would give me that extra oomph I needed to make it through my first day. Amazingly, I ended up creating the most comfortable, flattering outfit I have in my closet! And I did it without even trying… and by staying true to myself

comment by Elizabeth — August 29, 2008

if it was colder i would have worn my really cute thermal t and my plaid vest with fux furry hood, and my favorite jeans, then my knit sweater boots that are rose colored.
comment by Meghan McCarthy — August 29, 2008

I’d wear ! my uniform to school. Yeah bummer, i know. Being in Singapore, sigh. But if i could wear whatever i want. Here’s my fantasy outfit. Topshop teal skirt worn high waisted, my sister’s belt (taken without telling her of course or she’d kill me!) fredflare logo tee in grey (i so wish i had it), chanel black and white heels (I WISH I COULD AFFORD IT!! which will happen in one million lightyears), and those super gorgeous Betsey Johnson legwarmers! (if i had em) Yep, that would be awesomeeeee.
comment by Valerie — August 30, 2008

comment by Vivian W, — August 30, 2008

I wore the most comfortable pants I have every owned - some brown 100% cotton pants from H & M - a purple soft cotton shirt with a red line drawing all over it and some brown and green suede thong shoes. I was comfy all day long!!!
comment by Beth — August 30, 2008

I am Caitlyn, and I am 15! A sophmore in high school! In these obscure moments in life, i was chosen, or forced which is a better word, to go to a catholic high school. My parents probably think, that the people (the teenagers) with their “good morals”, because we go to a religious high. That its going to be upright class of good characters. Wrong! High school is high school. Wearing uniforms, won’t do anything. Because we’ll just find ways to make it look “better” by rolling the skirts. Hahaha, well thats the innocence or naiveness, if such a word, of teenage girls! So just to tell you, fredflare, about me I am just like every girl out there, trying to win this contest! Haha, but really now haha, I laugh. Everyone does, but who doesn’t!? That would be just about impossible for something Not to laugh. So, I like to laugh, at anything random and stupid. It also emphasis my outfits that I wear, which are random, careless, and me. Which “me” is hard to explain. And is why I have a whole lifetime to figure out! But so far I have LAUGH, which is me, again, so far. Another thing or adjective to add about me and my style, is that I am exuberant! And to me I have this weird bipolar thing going on, but I am not! It is where I am exuberant but then I m all tired! Like I just wasted 20 minutes or more, of being really energetic! Crazyy! Hahaha, and so exuberant emphasis my style, since our uniforms are pretty boring, I would most definitely have to buy either some cute, but bold, and wild jewelry. Or accessories, like SOCKS! Which are rocking now, because they are insane and can express what you wear! Oh, and tights! Hahah yess, I love tights! With funky designs on them, but I do have to learn when and what to wear them with! Haha, so I don’t have any proof, I guess for this, but I believe that these are all about me. And soon enough, and hopefully, at the end of this comment, (which is pretty darn long!) that I am not really like all these girls, or boys, (I’m a girl btw ahah) that I am a little different, or at least some what different and that I stand out. Much love, thank you so much for this opportunity, and I enjoyed this contest. You guys and gals, pick and sell the Oh-so-amazingly-tastiest-colorfulliest-chortling-hottest-cutest-funniest-randomness-but-yet-AWESOME things EVER!! Thank you, and you rock. -Caitlyn
comment by Caitlyn — August 30, 2008

on my first day i wore black slim-cut slacks, a white bib-front blouse, and a long black cardigan. with black patent leather oxfords, and white socks.

Yo yo, yiggity yo! How’s it with you? I definitely already started school, so I fa’sho can state my outfit. I was wearin’ some odd concoction that involved magenta skinny jeans, three different colored tops, (they were tanks, but all different styles/colors; aqua, hot pink & orange,to be exact) then, I somehow managed to fit a blazer over all of that.(it’s sparkley!) To top it off, I wore my Adidas colorful high tops.(these bad boys:

) Are ya feelin’ it, my friend? x)
comment by Bridge! — August 30, 2008

comment by tewa — August 30, 2008

I just graduated from college so this is the first year that I will not have first day of school! Eek! The only thing I can consciously recall “wearing” on the first day of school (I think it was in high school) was Princess Leia-like buns.
comment by Aimee — August 30, 2008

hoe-kay. so i’m shelby. but i like people to call me lily. i have brown hair and blue eyes. i’m a vegetarian/ almost vegan. i work at the dq which totally clashes with my food viewpoints but i like getting a paycheck. i’m a junior in high school, but i go to the college in my town visa pseo. on my first day of school i wore my favorite pair of jeans, a gray argyle tee-shirt with a maroonish and gray striped boyfriend cardigan. my favorite part of the outfit were my shoes which were my cream colored converse that are almost completely destroyed because i’ve worn them so much. :)

Well, I’m a sheltered child of the ripe age of 17, and I do not attend school of the public nature. My education is explored at my homestead. SO! I highly enjoy wearing my footie pajamas with the glow-in-the-dark triceratops! Total Happyville.
comment by Vanessa — August 30, 2008

i remember going to my first day of public school after 4 years of private catholic school… the night before i laid out and painstakingly ironed a fantastic pair of gloria vanderbilt jeans with satin patches on the back pockets, a satin ruffle shirt and a white skinny belt and brand new reeboks. i was so excited to not have to wear a uniform! that was 1983 and now it’s 80’s retro all over again… thanks fred flare!!!
comment by kelley — August 30, 2008

I wore my green tank top and my pants I fell asleep in. The reason was…I fell asleep while getting ready and I had to leave really fast.I was up till three am playing halo 3…damn that halo 3. ANYWAYS…I had to leave and I had to leave at that moment so my sleep tank and my torn jeans became by back to school outfit.
comment by Ashley Marie Mireles — August 30, 2008

What will/did you wear on your first day of school? I wore some very preppy stuff. lol Ok i had plaid(red,brown,navy) DC’s with nice white socks. Some light wash skinny jeans, and a maroon hollister polo. Then a white headband with my hair straightened out and my glasses the same. I had a matching bag that was brown(one of the colors on the DC’s) with black peaxce signs all over. i think i looked pretty good.

Likeliness that I will look like Wednesday Addams: 100% Did I mention I’m a student at a Catholic high school and that I’m begging for some cute FF items to brighten my uniform and last year of h.s.? <3 Need I remind you? http://www.astro.umd.edu/~miller/TheAddamsFamily-01.jpg

comment by Amy — August 30, 2008

I love thinking about what to wear. So for my first day of school I plan to wear this super cute dress I got in Paris over the summer. It’s deep purple/gray button-up and sleeveless dress with pockets. I would pair it with these great plaid pumps that have that same color in it…I got for $15. who doesn’t love a sale? and to top it all off, a little loose cartigan and a casual little necklace. = ) I can’t wait to look cute for school. hooray!
comment by Kelly — August 30, 2008

Ok, so color is like the best thing ever. LIKE EVER! so, on the first day of school i wore dark red skinny jeans, a tie dye strectch tank top, and a neon yellow collored button up shirt. Oh, and did i mention my purple and silver shoes??!! Back to school for me is always a time to show individuality and your true self. So who cares if it matches or doesnt match, have some fun!! live in color not black and white

!!!!
comment by Anna — August 30, 2008

For the first day of school this year, I had lots of fun cutting holes in a black tshirt, which I wore with some great dark-wash bootcut jeans, and flip flops, cuz it still feels like summer to me ^_^ Of course I accesorized with a chanel-logo necklace (sadly not real, but still very cute) and yellow nails. It was fun. Yay for senior year!

comment by Andrea — August 30, 2008

So the first day back to school is the day after I move into my new place! YIKES! I can only imagine that I’ll be happy to wear something that covers my reproductive organs! Ill probably keep an outfit in my car just in case I cant find anything Tuesday morning! Lets see, probably a cute pair of white shorts, since I’m soooo anti “no white after labor day’ and maybe my new Marc Jacobs sailor top with some silver leather sandals.
comment by Arie — August 30, 2008

comfy jeans, cool flats, nice bright top! hopefully its nice and sunny so i can wear my risky business sunglasses:)

comment by Sora G — August 30, 2008

On my first day of school I didn’t really get to choose because I go to a Catholic school where I have to wear a uniform. Some people may hate that but HEY, catholic school girls know how to do it. ;] So the green plaid kilt and green polo might not have been my first choice, but I must say that some us can really pull it off and make this uniform hott. I finished the uniform off with a cute pair of blue American Eagle sailor flats. Even though theres not much variety, I can still make it work!
comment by katie — August 30, 2008

Well, in the rainy Vancouver, BC weather, I’ll probably be wearing skinny jeans, a striped tee, FF’s fab new lumberjack-esque boots, and a new backpack (hopefully?

). Also, I plan to wear my FF-inspired scarf I made. I used the FF heart design and appliqued it onto a black felt scarf with some rainbow coloured flowers. Of course, I’ve been eyeing the “value meal backpack” in the hunt for a unique new school bag, and in hope of being able to save that part of my paycheck, I would love to win your contest ;D - Diamond

I dressed like a hippie for the first day of school. Let’s just say that I got a lot of looks. I’m suprised they didn’t search me for anything illegal. haha. Well I totally adore that backpack. If I won, I’d bust through the school entrance all Mickey D’d out and be like “Sup I’m pah dah pah pah pah McLovin’ it!”. haha that was really random but I honestly like that bag. I’m gonna buy it if I don’t win it. Peace Love & FF ♥ NICOLE ♥
comment by Nicole — August 30, 2008

Since I teach 3rd grade, my goal is to wear anything that can withstand vomit, grubby hands, chalk, and other mysterious stains and still look presentable enough to be seen in public. Sometimes it’s hard to do!
comment by Heather — August 30, 2008

hm…faded black skinnies, pink cami, white midsleeve cardigan, and grey irish tweed newsboy cap. how i love that hat =) and the classics.
comment by jessica — August 30, 2008

I will be wearing…my school uniform. It consists of a grey skirt, white button-down blouse, black knee-highs, and my black ballet flats. If I want I can also mix & match w/ my navy blue skirt, blue blouse, or white or navy blue socks but that’s pretty much it

..not much color….so I’ll probably top the outfit off w/ a light jacket & my bright purple jcrew tote.

well, i’m finally going to be an upper classman in high school, and that requires a celebration of the textile variety, so, i’m wearing a blue chicken-work dress, grey and white argyle stockings and my black patent leather sling backs. it might not match, but that’s just how i roll.

Comfort is my main priority.

Hi there, I’m not from the states, but from Asia - Singapore! The holidays are in for me right now. But the new semester will begin in a month’s time. I’m studying Hospitality and Tourism right now, something I’ve been wanting/yearning to learn more about since 3 years ago. Now that I’ve made it, I’m more than happy and grateful enough. I can’t wait to have new stationeries, new backpack, new books and a fresh new start with new subjects for the new semester

I must admit I really want to get this backpack because it’ll really suit the quirky me who loves unique stuffs. It’ll invite so many people’s views and I’ll be all so happy. I’m intending to wear a funky t-shirt and skinnies, adding on with that backpack, it’ll be oh-so-awesome! It’s great to leave a comment here at the Fredflare’s blog. But it’s ok if I don’t get it ha ha ha because I’ll still continue to support Fredflare and buy more things though they are a lil expensive at times hehehe

Meanwhile,keep up the good work FF!

i go to a private all girls school in anaheim, california. It’s literally minutes away from disneyland and knotts. On the downside i wear uniforms …so i thought on the first day I’d sport my normal plaid skirt with a nice clean cut white polo with connelly (name of my school) across my left side. And while I’m at it, why not add a little flavor to it like a bright peace necklace and some bright purple fredflare sunglasses. =]

comment by Tanya — August 30, 2008

I will wear a ridiculously long scarf such as can be seen on old episodes of Doctor Who ( http://edwardrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/feb-20-ed-rush-scarf-wool.JPG ) denim cut off jeans and very loud pair of yellow trainers I’ve just picked up. Also some sort of a shirt with a witty comment on it as I’m going up to my last year of university and that kind of thing is demanded from college students, isn’t it?
comment by Maxine — August 30, 2008

well, i am going to be going to baking school. So on the first day I am going to show how creative i am with something cute and fun, maybe my knee length skirt with bright flowers and my simple (but classy) scoop neck shirt and a pair of sensible flats that can be worn in the kitchen with ease. ~lauren
comment by Lauren — August 30, 2008

My granddaughter started last week wearing a hyppie type jeans and a t-shirt. Very comfortable outfit for a warm day, she was starting kindergarten.

comment by adrianna — August 30, 2008

Last week I went back to school shopping with my brother - he is 15, I am 31. I am the oldest, he is the middle child so yeah big gap between us. This was the first time my Brother asked me to go back to school shopping with him. We had so much fun! He wants to be anti-goth and wear bright colors! I am having 80s flashbacks. For his first day back we picked out crazy plaid shorts (white background purple, yellow, green, etc stripes) and a brown polo shirt. I told him he has to take pictures next week.
comment by clairmonde — August 30, 2008

On the first day of school, I plan on wearing a pair of brand new super brght magenta skinny jeans, a magenta, black, and white plaid baby doll tank, and a bunch of funky beads…oh and black sequin-covered ballet flats with bows on them…and for my hair I’ll probably flat iron it, parted to the side and paint my finger nails magenta…
comment by Halley — August 30, 2008

Hey guys! Absolutely love the site. I have purchased a few items that I ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS get compliments on. So first of all, thank you for running the fiercest store in town. I am 18 and starting my first year of college in Sunny California. For my first nerve-wracking and exciting day, I plan on wearing a deep V-neck from AA with a shiny bra underneath, JBrand skinny jeans, my white braided leather sandals from Urban, my Banana Republic 3/4 sleeve argyle sweater, and my hair in a messy chignon. I’ve tried it on in front of the mirror and it definitely looks F-I-E-R-C-E. Now, if I just had an awesome Value Pack Backpack to go with it….

xoxo
comment by Kathleen — August 30, 2008

Hi Keith! Umh.. it will be my first day of school in usa, exactly in Indiana.. (I’m italian and I will be an host student). I think that I will dress easy clothes. But for wish to me a good year I will dress green clothes for the hope like this: http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1001495yw4.jpg (This is me) It will be hard but maybe the hope of my green clothes will take me some luckyness. I really hope it! Bye maggie.
comment by Maggie — August 30, 2008

well, at first i didn’t think about what i was going to wear at all, but then all my frínds kept asking “what ya gonna wear, what ya gonna wear?” and as i started ´to get more and more nervous, i started to think about it, A LOT! i was so nervous. what if they all were these jerks who would ditch me for my clothes? i was so nervous. but i ended up with a really good outfit. i’m going to a kinda og unusal school, so the kids there are really cool, and in reality they couldn’t care less about your outfit, but i didn’t know that. so i took my favorite skinny black jeans, and a guns ‘n’ roses blue t-shirt, a boombox bling neclace on. and that kinda did it

comment by elisabeth — August 30, 2008

i start college next week! im so nervous i think ill wear my calf boots that are buckled down the side, my dark denim skinny jeans, my red plaid lumberjack shirt OR my iron maiden tee that i cut up =D, my white tiger bracelet and my black leather jacket ^^ and i have brown and white hair so i think ill hairspray up my hair all spikey =D i hope i make new friends! haha =’)
comment by Joel — August 30, 2008

This is such a tough question, really.. on my first day of school I have to really dress down and impress everyone since i go to an art academy and everybody is dressed to impress! so i probably will wear my green pencil skirt and my white tee with a hot lips print, and my brown darling flats… the real catch 22 is that everyday of the year is exactly like the first day of school! yep, you got all those hipster kids, wearing those 80’s glasses and them American Apparel skirts and skinny jeans. then theres the colorful but style less design students who wear a new outfit everyday..and then the hippies, the weirdos and the randoms.. then theres me, the fashionable, abiding to no law, high waist extraordinaire, and with a new backpack ill be fiercer than ever!
comment by Shelly — August 30, 2008

i really hope that i win this backpack - and it fits my style perfectally. i love cartoon animals and characters. usually i match a cute shirt with a darker pair of jeans, just to even things out. i am not a giant preschooler. anyways, if i won this backpack i would be siked.
comment by nikki — August 30, 2008

comment by Kristina Pham — August 30, 2008

school uniform, unfortunately.
comment by Liron — August 30, 2008

Well if I could wear ANYTHING I’d probably wear a marc by marc jacobs bag, betsey johnson dress with leggings and cute flats. But in real life I’ll probably wear a cute purple tunic with skinny jeans and black flats, i love boho chic

comment by Emily — August 30, 2008

It’s a crazy story, because I’ve been stressing out about what I was going to wear for dayyyys, and had just decided when you posted this! I’m staying safe outfit-wise, while still making an impression, because no one wants to be the kid that they make an example of about dress code. (Dress code is really strict at my school!) So I’m wearing a red shirt with designs around the neckline, and grey walking shorts, with silver flats and for hair, I’ve lucked out with my fabulous wash n’ go curly hair!

comment by Lise — August 30, 2008

Unfortunately, not sure yet.. let’s hope I don’t demolish my alarm clock on Tuesday morning and have to rush and stress to school. so my goal for what i’m going to wear? Clothes. Preferably something nice.
comment by June — August 30, 2008

I wore dark washed skinny jeans, a plaid button down shirt (lumberjack style) and rolled up the sleeves to right above my elbow, and silver flats. my bookbag is BA. it’s black and I splattered it with neon paint.
comment by Diana — August 30, 2008

I decided what I was going to wear on the first day of school a couple of weeks before school started. I wore these crazy plaid bermuda shorts, a beige shirt with little beads on it, and a beige cami underneath. I wore bronze flats with white socks, and a beaded bracelet that matched perfectly.
comment by Ellen — August 30, 2008

Awesome! Just what I’ve always wanted/needed A BURGER BAG!!! Anyways I will most likely be wearing jeans and a tee shirt I designed myself (to show my profs. I haven’t been slacking all summer, Im in graphic design) and I will be wearing a look of total exhaustion because I will have spent the whole previous week packing and moving and getting absolutely no sleep!
comment by Linden Polos — August 30, 2008

On the first day of school i wore a cute babydoll top with true religion skinny jeans with classic slip-on vans. i had a great day everyone commented on my outfit. so heres a little info about me, i’m 13 i live in florida. at the beginning of the summer i bought some of those wayfarer sunglasses and i love them you guys have awesome sunglasses!

comment by holly — August 30, 2008

Well, I’m out of school, now. I’m 18, and I live in Maine. So if I were still in school, I’d probably end up wearing a nice tank top or shirt underneath a cardigan, with my favorite pair of skinny jeans.

comment by Nicole — August 30, 2008

i wore a black top that ties in a big bow in the front, pleated denim shorts, and black sandals with a gold twist and little cork lifts. it was pretty dang cute!
comment by diane — August 30, 2008

My first day of 1st grade in 1986 (man how old am I?) I wore a pink and yellow plaid skirt with a black scottie dog blouse and matching scottie dog earrings and necklace! If that isn’t true style I don’t know what is

Cheers! Lisa
comment by Lisa m — August 30, 2008

I am a freshman at FGCU in Fort Myers and was so excited for the first day of class that I wore jeans but didnt realize how hot it was!! So now I wear shorts or dresses.

comment by Meredith — August 30, 2008

Since my high school is a “charter school for gifted kids” or w/e they want us to “maintain a professional atmosphere”. har-har.I wore my Nike 6.0 Low Dunks that are gold, hot pink, yellow, gray and white + cute black fitted pants + a super cool grey grandpa cardigan + a polo + some ball-and-chain bracelets in various colors + a hot pink head band.
comment by Erin — August 30, 2008

comment by katherine giessel — August 30, 2008

So for the first day of my sophomore year, I wasn’t going to wear anything new… but somehow I managed to pick only things I’d never worn before, anyway. The look? A black tank sprinkled with shiny silver stars, gray skinny jeans, a black cord necklace with a Scrabble piece (A for Allie!) that I got at an art fair over the summer, and my awesome Chucks, which I decorated with the Batman symbol. I wish I had some pictures to show you. It was pretty intense.
comment by Allie — August 30, 2008

First day of school I wore a gladiator-style, loosey sort of top that (thankfully) provided ample room for my basoomas to run free and breath and my amazing, though faded because I love them so much and neglected to Woolite, plastered on black skinny jeans that nearly gave me a stroke because they cut off my blood circulation. To top it off my fabulous patent leather lime flats with blinged out chain detail (because, of course, I am SO fly. Er, yeah). I’d go on but my jewelery and underwhatsits would probably bore you to tears while being minutely inappropriate. Loves! XO
comment by Molly — August 30, 2008

i’ll be wearing grey skinnies, black chucks, and a white shirt with a scarf. smith college uniform!
comment by Claire — August 30, 2008

Hello! I am starting all over! I just graduated from Concordia University in Montreal - and now I’m heading to a three year technical degree in Graphic Design! My first day happened this past Tuesday, I wore drawstring grey cargo pants, a grey tank top and a black v-neck t-shirt. Great contest/promotion! Everybody likes a new backpack! Especially one filled with neat school supplies!
comment by Kristin — August 30, 2008

I had my first day of school 3 weeks ago, but it was awesome. I wore a blue tee with sushi on it that says “This is how we roll”. I also wore hot pink skinny jeans and my clear Converse with some totally sweet striped socks. To top it all off, I had my Mint Green Risky Business glasses and my Lucky bag. And my hair was up ridiculously in some pretty amazing pig-tails with bows

Mwah! ~Aimee
comment by Aimee — August 30, 2008

I wore a blue polo with a jean jumper, a leather braided belt, and a pair of white moccasins.

comment by Sophia — August 30, 2008

On my first day back to school (which I’m not that excited for considering its junior year-and dont u want to have sympathy for suffering juniors) I’ll be wearing a sheer lavender top with a black cami under. a khaki mini skirt, and black tights. if i find a pair of boots i love then the boots come to school too.
comment by Milana B. — August 30, 2008

Oh geeze, the one day I wasn’t home all day looking at blogs! Well today (I wrote this last night), I had some SUPER back to school fun meeting Katy Perry!!! I love her, and she is so fierce. I would wear HER OUTFIT on the first day of school because it’s amazing. Her band would be like my posse: A peach, a banana, a lime, and a grape, and I would be a watermelon! A perfect way to end summer with the best summer fruit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRrRPi_Cu5g Psssttt… There’s like 50 closeups of me in the front row. Hahaha. Although I don’t look very fierce at that point in time. My hot pink heels are submerged in ze crowd. http://katy-perry.net/pix/albums/Appearances/2008/TheTodayShow29August/normal_001.jpg (Glitter sign!) Yay NY! Apples! School! And yay for watermelon! BTW since you asked, I’m 18 and you know I freaking LOVE FF!!!!!

I am starting my senior year of highschool so I’m re-inventing myself a little bit. I am going to go in there and focus, I’ll let the small things go and try really hard to get into my school of choice.
comment by Allie — August 30, 2008

Okay. I wore a bright pink graphic tee with a giant Tinkerbell on the front with graffiti-ish designs (haha!), white shorts down to my knees, brown flip-flops with bright aqua blue Native-American-ish beads on the thing you put your foot in, a bright pink marble-bead bracelet (left wrist), and a bright pink headband pulling back my brown, layered, shoulder length hair. I was sooo nervous cause I had to go into the high school when I’m in 8th grade (Advanced placement). but I made a statement! P.S. I *heart* Fred Flare. Thanks for being so awesome!

comment by Lisa — August 30, 2008

This year I have the great pleasure of having my birthday the day before school starts… Not really that great of a pleasure! So I will be newly 17 and entering my senior year. For my last first day of high school I plan on wear something I love. My favorite cut of jean shorts and a t-shirt I got this summer. I went to a lot of concerts this summer and I always get shirts from them, but the one I love the most is the very colorful shirt from The Academy Is… I love it so much and if I wear it’s like telling everyone what I did this summer! I think I will also wear my clear jelly shoes, because they are so much fun.
comment by Megan — August 30, 2008

school has already started in my neck of the woods, but for the first day i took my favorite summer dress (one i had tie-dyed) and i was forced to fall-ize it to accommodate the not-so-beautiful-first-day-of-school weather. (also take a looksie at my sppon necklace. it’s a diy pride and joy.)

comment by m.l.e — August 30, 2008
