My love for classic looks extends all the way to school uniforms. They are a universal phenomenon, but not used in my country, which is probably why I am intrigued by them.
  But this latest outfit of mine is also strongly inspired by the Japanese horror movie 
Ringu. Mixing innocence with terror is effective.

| There is more innocence than terror in my look, but after all this is a business outfit... |

| A blouse and mini skirt is the classic schoolgirl look. To make it wearable and practical for everyday use, I made the "blouse" of ordinary cotton jersey and slipped a pair of pants under the mini skirt. Colors black and white were essential in my head for this look for some reason, but I could not find a proper checkered fabric for the skirt in b&w, so I had to go with this one. It´s more modern and actually keeps the outfit from being too costume-ish. |

| My undone hair brings a bit of horror here... | 
|  | 
| The skirt is sewn right onto the hem of the shirt. So when I move and turn, it stays in place and does not twist around me nastily. | 
|  | 
| Well, at least it made my hair stand up! | 
  If you think this is blah, go ahead and watch Ringu 
here!
