Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible - Frank Zappa

Since our love Polyvore got rid of the ask section, I'm going to ask what I normally would there, but in a set.
 
I'm going to a T Swift concert this Wednesday and am not sure what to wear. I want to look super-cute and trendy, but still T-Swifted-up, if you will. Like I want to wear a ton of cute red accessories and kind of draw on Taylor's style itself.
 
SO: Should I just go with a short, black skirt/pants and a Taylor Swift T-shirt and wristbands with my white Vans or should I create a really outfit like a white and black striped shirt with jeans and red shoes and red accessories and a red lip?
 
Suggest ANYTHING, as I am at a total loss for idea. Post links to clothes if you want. Thanks so much to whoever answers!!

Hanging out in the lounge, totally freaked out by everything going at school. Feeling homesick for anywhere but here. Story later.

jamie was hanging out, alone, near a woodsy part of the academy grounds. she loved nature and how safe it made her felt, almost like she wasn't alone. she wasn't sure what to make of the academy yet but the people seemed friendly enough. hopefully she could make some real friends here, unlike the ones she made and lost at her various boarding schools.

A few things currently making me happy!
 
Me, at my high school graduation. I can't believe it's actually over. It was an amazing, challenging, confusing, fantastic four years and now it's all just a memory.
 
Great books I bought at Barnes & Noble this week: Cupcake by Rachel Cohn, Looking for Alaska by John Green and This One Time With Julia by David Lampson
 
Catching up on magazines this weekend: May's Bazaar and Vogue and June InStyle
 
Getting my nails painted my favorite red, Essie's Fifth Avenue Red
 
Watching the MTV Movie Awards with my dad on Sunday night
 
Music Box, the twin of my Fashion Box book. Cannot wait to dive into this one
 
Writing seniors 2012 in the sand on our senior skip day
 
Watching Euro Trip, my favorite guilty pleasure and graduation movie
 
Glee's cover of In My Life, one of my favorite Beatles songs
 
Have a great weekend and a great summer, everyone!

Hey all-
I'm graduating this year and I went today for my photos for the yearbook. I got my hair and makeup professionally done and I was really excited. I just want a stranger's objective opinion of if I look pretty or not. Personally, I think I don't look good in pictures head on the way the photographer took them and that's my natural smile-which I hate. I like my posed, fake smile much better but my dad was in the room and making me laugh so he could get my natural smile. I literally cried after I saw these pictures.
I know I'm being overly dramatic and way too critical-I see that-but if anyone could just give me their honest opinion of what they think, I'd really appreciate it.
 
Thanks, guys.
