Runway Looks I Love: Betsey Johnson

Charm School. Those two words say it all. I'm not sure if these classy uniform-esque looks would work on me, seeing as, you know, I'm 13 and have a uniform. But I still love the looks. Is anyone else getting the twist of sailor? Or am I going insane (er)? If I was going to be a spy, as once was my ambition, this is the outfit I'd wear to do it. Sipping a cappucino and reading Vogue, I'd stare out from underneath my hat, over the top of my magazine, see the elusive criminal, and silently tail him. This, of course, would take place in some chic Parisian street, so every time he turned around, he'd see my innocently looking into a window at some chic outfit, and never suspect I would foil his evil plan. Then I would slip back to my hotel room, pack up, hop onto a plane, and go on my next adventure.
And this is the outfit I'd wear in New York, where I would pose as my fellow spy's daughter, home for a short time having returned from boarding school in London. I would charm the evil mastermind, and while he was showing me a magic trick, I'd slip a GPS into his suit, so we could track down his lair. And he would never suspect it was the sweet heiress in the lace dress.

Then, this would be my uniform while in London, posing as a girl in a boarding school. My fellow pupils would never suspect me, and eventually I'd foil the plans of a fellow student to blow up the world because she wanted her parents attention.
Then, I would jet off to Holland wearing my royal blue clothes, with my white gloves and prim white socks, and pose as a cousin to the heir of the throne. I would, of course, foil the plans of the evil person next in line to the throne, who would attempt to posion the heir.
And, then, back to London I would go, where I would pose as a chic bank manager, and (of course) foil the plan to bomb a rival bank.
In this outfit I would pose in New Jersey as the daughter of someon or other, and I'd foil some sort of evil plan, all the while wearing my cool hat.
I'd wear this on yacht, posing as the daughter of the person who sails the yacht. There would be some evil plan and I'd foil it.

Word of warning: Don't attempt the white tights! It will make most people's legs like that of a large, lumbering elephant.
