I've seen bits and pieces of this series floating around the Internet and finally tracked its original source down yesterday. I will never get tired of the schoolgirl look (not for wearing purposes, but just to look at). Did I ever tell you that I grew up in Connecticut? We used to wear plaid shorts with collared shirts and pop our collars... allllll that good stuff (okay, so maybe it didn't look quiiitee as extreme as in these photos, but you get the idea). Even now, I see myself gravitating toward outfits with a preppy flair (cardigan sweaters, mixing patterns, etc). I tell you, you never grow out of your roots.

Very unique shoot. Would have liked to see more plaid to fit with the school girl theme. The location of the shoot is quite beautiful tho!

I love the photos- i think it's the whole private school edge with being locked up in boarding school and they look like they are ready to escape.

yeah, wonderful pictures- they are coming from Slovakia - a little country in the middle of Europe :)
