this adorable little woodsprite is named Zoe. she’s only 14, but she single-handedly made her minidress in a sweet laundry-themed print and paired it fearlessly with polka-dot espadrilles. Zoe, you are painfully hip. when i was your age, i looked like oliver freaking twist.
dress: handmade by Zoe
belt: Charlotte Russe $6
shoes: Target $12
thanks, Zoe!
if you wanna be this cool, please send in your street style photos to streetstyle@painfullyhip.com!
I require that red belt.
I envy this girl! She’s off to such a good start. I didn’t develop a “style” of my own until well into high school, though uniforms didn’t help.
Wow, Zoe has a very well developed sense of personal style for 14. And to top it off she’s a designer and a seamstress too. Go, Zoe! Thanks for sharing your look and style.
I wish i had it this together at her age. What a great job with the dress, and what a cute ensemble. Very original.
Really cute dress – I’m impressed that Zoe made it herself!
Knowing how to sew is a very valuable skill. It’s also how Gwen Stefani got her start in fashion. Very cute, Zoe!
Gosh, at 14 my style claim-to-fame was wearing actual clothes instead of sweats to school. Zoe sort of owns my life. I wish I could sew, I’m so jealous of people who can make their own clothes. One day I’ll learn, and then maybe I’ll be 1/8 as rad as her.
i so hardly doubt you looked like oliver twist! regardless… great job zoe! i can only imagine how utterly chic you’ll be when you’re old hags like us! (just kidding… well, maybe)
Great fit, proportion, and a mod print to boot…a lovely dress, Zoe! Will we be seeing you on Project Runway in a few years???
