Today I rewinded back a few years to circa 2001, when I was concerned with what uni I was going to get into and whether I’d finish my A-level art coursework on time. Perhaps because I was running doing very 2001-esque things today on a grey Saturday; going to Paperchase for art supplies, picking up something from the Chinese bakery, listening to the same music I listened to pre-uni, eating at a cafe that I hadn’t been to in years. Similarly, my outfit reflected those sixth-form days when I was stuck on knee-high socks even in the coldest of winters, had a plaid obsession, ONLY wore flat shoes and of course, layered to my heart’s content much to my art classmates’ curiosity who wondered if I could wear a different outfit everyday to school. It’s not that I don’t do or wear any of the things above anymore….but all of it on one day equals total re-immersion into my 2001.
A bit of 2001-music chunk: was I the only one who was quite into the short-lived band Haven?
2001 isn’t a year I remember with any joy, I was still in school and it was a drag, but I do want to know- did you roll up the sleeves of your shirt or are they just like that on thei own? And as for the red thing you’ve got on underneath the shirt- how did you get the line of buttons to go slanty?
Sorry for the absurd questions!
ah I love it. It is quite collegiate, but there’s something so refreshing (for me anyway) about dressing a bit preppy or school girlish.
aaw, what a throwback! its funny cos 2001 doesnt seem that long ago… tho i was still wearing checkered pinafores and loving britney…
gosh how things change!

Well you look more 1992 than 2001, but you were probably so young you wouldn’t remember. Are we already remenicing 2001?
God I feel old!
