Rachel Antonoff for Bass

When I was in middle school, we had at least one all-school assembly per week. Sing the alma mater, listen to a speaker about empowering women, take note of a few announcements, and I was out of there. Doesn't sound too awful right? Well...

It wouldn't have been bad at all, except all-school assemblies meant dress uniform days. At my all-girls prep school, the dress uniform consisted of a starchy white button down tucked into my plaid, pleated skirt with a pair of dreaded saddle oxfords.

If only Rachel Antonoff had teamed up with Bass back in the day. I would have loved to sport these sassy floral kicks or maybe even a pair of plaid to ironically match my skirt. Word on the street is her spring collection (did you see her gorgeous presentation set?) for the oxford king has some see-through styles, bright colors, and even a touch of glitter. The middle schooler in me just squeeled with glee.

P.S. Check out this DailyCandy video of designers talking about their favorite fall styles. I helped with the shoot, and Rachel could not have been sweeter.
