"Mia Thermopolis, a student residing with her single mother in San Francisco, is unpopular among her peers. She suffers from a fear of public speaking while harboring a crush on Josh. Mia's only friends are social outcast Lilly and Lilly's older brother, Michael, who secretly harbors feelings for her.
Mia learns from her estranged paternal grandmother, Clarisse, that she is sole heir to the European kingdom of Genovia, having inherited the throne from her recently deceased father, Philippe. Clarisse is determined to groom Mia into a refined princess so that she may one day rule the kingdom over which Clarisse currently presides. Overwhelmed by the discovery, Mia initially refuses until Helen convinces her to attend her grandmother's "princess lessons" on the condition that she need not make her final decision until the Genovian Independence Day Ball in three weeks' time..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_Diaries_(film)
I was SO pumped to have found this Land's End blue plaid school girl skirt from ThredUp. Found new on Amazon here. I can't tell if it's exactly the same or just super dang close. Regardless, I bought that up ASAP.
Paired with a light blue button up tee from Old Navy, secondhand from ThredUp or slightly different and new from Amazon.
I found a navy blue blazer from H&M, also found secondhand from ThredUp. Might I add that the blazer has elbow pads? *Gush* Try this one from Amazon if you can't find something secondhand.
Final details are all that's left now:
Black knee high socks - I'm really excited about these being fleece lined, so you can stay warm while bar hopping.
Oxford black shoes - if you can splurge on doc martens, DO IT!
What I love most, is you can easily decide if you'll be Mia or Lilly depending on your hair or personality preference.
If you wanted to be more on the nose and copy the movie poster add some or all of the following items:
All black corded headphones - make sure to get something comfortable
