High school. Wow. Pretty glad I’m done with that hormonal heap of acne, flaky boyfriends and scrawny limbs! I actually moved back to Poland during high school in the small town of my father’s birthplace. My father being the only parental figure in my immediate family made him all the more protective thus I not only had to adhere to the tacky uniform code of the school, but even on weekends I was forced to wear no shorter than knee high tweed skirts! I can’t express strongly enough how much college has changed my life! I’d always secretly been in love with fashion, sneaking in Polish fashion magazines from the little corner store down the street and stuffing them under my bed. My dad never found out! He thought I was merely a good, obedient girl. But Lord knows I wasn’t. I would go to my older girlfriends’ houses, dress up in the more lenient clothing and sneak out to parties and to meet boyfriends. My father NEVER found out. Even though we have many fundamental belief differences…I love him to death and I wouldn’t want him to know about my passion for fashion because while he is a tad bit over-protective he single-handedly raised 3 girls! He earns some major props for that!
And so two years later, every time I go and visit him in Poland I pack my most modest set of clothing…nothing shorter than knee high tweed skirts ;)

My parents are the same way. Around them I have to wear knee length skirts. I have to hide all magagzines and change my clothes when I get to school, parties etc. They hate fashion and have no idea I have a chictopia account. It sucks not being able to wear what I love around them. Can't wait till I move out so I can wear whatever I want.

love the blazer.
It's good that you still respect your dad even though you don't agree with him. Dad's can be tough when it comes to fashion lol
But honoring your father by still wearing the clothes he deemed "okay" is a great way to respect him more (I'm sure he appreciates it) and I'm totally sure you could rock that tweed skirt look especially with your long legs! haha
