Fashion: a staple of Bishop’s life. So much of our day is filled with, “Oh, I love your shoes!” and “Oh, I love your sweatshirt!” We have a literal policy about clothes here. And amongst the student body, people all have their various ways to flair up the clothing pieces in their daily attire. As a fashion fanatic, here are my honest opinions on fashion at Bishop’s — starting with shoes!
Okay, these are admittedly cute and very trendy. They’re low-cut, black, with classic Adidas stripes and a blister-causing heel (ouch) — that’s some dedication to “aesthetic” right there. And it fits into the uniform policy. Look at you, you rule-follower! Bonus points if you’ve re-laced them with ribbons or added charms. I just hope you have plenty of bandaids. If you are short, you’re even shorter now with these thin-as-cardboard shoes. I could never part with my platforms, but maybe it’s because I’m immature and still believe height matters. I guess I’m not as down-to-earth as you guys. Literally.
Now you’re cool. Rebellious? Sure. But at least your solo rebellion is also a school-wide movement. They can’t UV us all at once, can they? High-tops aren’t getting in the uniform policy, though I know many of you have tried. These are some premium shoes right here — especially if they’re platforms. Pair these with some high socks and you’ve got a golden combo; Pair these with ankle-cut socks and we’ve got a problem. Do be aware of a serious sock tan from the thick, black, canvas-like fabric covering your ankles. I’d switch before summer comes around.
UGH. Aren’t you scared of getting them muddy while walking across the quad? I’ll give it to you though, they are really cute and comfortable. Their soft fluff is warm and cozy — it’s like wearing your pet on your shoes. It even resembles a wet cat when it rains! But you’ve got some serious guts walking around Ms. Shea’s territory (a.k.a. this school) in that getup. They’re open-backed and not black! How scandalous! If you’re one of these people, I have a special link that might help you out: www.bishopsuniformguidesuckers.com. Enjoy 🙂
Whoever said these were going out of fashion was wrong. That would’ve been seventh grade me, back in 2020 — a literal fashion moron. Thank goodness we’ve grown from there! I do admire your practicality in choosing a bulky chunk of black rubber and calling it a day. While I may consider your black blocks as an eyesore and a trigger for cringey middle school memories, you’re still abiding by the rules a lot better than your Uggs friends are. Props to you!
Okay, that’s it for now. Until next time 🙂
