It's a school day... Style Profile (I just like to get a rhyme in)

Saw this video - She & Him (Zooey Deschanel, songwriter, and M. Ward, producer), In the Sun,  and was immediatly obsessed/watched it multiple times in a row/downloaded all their albums/watched all their videos:

I feel like I was made for a choreographed high school hallway dance scene... I probably tried to initiate a few when I was that age that did't quite catch on as I had hoped.  Remember this gem?
Aw Brit, it's emblematic of my Freshman Year experience (doesn't need capitalization, it's a choice.. I think), also, preformed by myself and my freshmen peers during homecoming week to mixed reviews...


Zooey Deschanel is one of those people who is so lovable you sort of don't want to love her. Like it's just so obvious. Anyway, this post may be terribly redundant but, I love her! and hate her a little! and she is so so stylish. On stage, on screen, wherever.  Her style is very retro quirky, lots of tights and flats and almost always a headband or bow in her hair.  Also maybe a bumpit in her hair?  nooo, just great hair... and some backcombing.

She's pretty cute.  And dorky!  She's a winker, and plays the ukalele.  Here are my day and night interpretations inspired by her look:

Foundations

I am a full-blown, full-time car singer.  When I'm alone in the Camry you can bet I'm belting whatever I've got on with all the volume and emotion I can muster.

A few days ago I was heading home from a long day of work and class.  My battery had died and I'd spent 20 minutes in a dark, abandoned parking lot at the top of campus waiting for my heroic little brother to come give the old Toyota a jump.  Since I had to drive around for about 30 minutes to ensure the battery was charged I found myself in the midst of a major car kareoke party.  I was listening to 'Foundations' by Kate Nash (which is especially fun to sing because you get to mimic her awesome British accent), when I remembered how much I like the song's video, and I thought how I'd like post it on the blog.

But a music video on a supposed fashion blog?  I am trying to keep this project somewhat on topic you know - this blog's no free-for-all!  And then I remembered Kate's amazing personal style, and so, the video is totally, justifiably, post-worthy (video + how to get the look after the jump):
