15 Fashion Show Looks That Made Me Feel Better About Dressing Up As A Tree In School

Manya Ailawadi

We’ve all been a part of fancy dress competitions and school plays where we had to dress up as things. I’ve been a tree, a sunflower and even a solar system. Once, I was put in a ‘pear’ costume and made to stand in the school playground for the entire day – I was quite happy and I can’t figure why. 

We’ve all been there, done that. Back then, it was the excitement of wearing make-up and costume, but I’m not proud of it now. But, today’s fashion is a lot like those ‘bachpan ki looks’ that we created. All I want to know is, who wears it on purpose as a grown-up? 

And the way these looks and shows trend, reminds me of how little I know about fashion. But, they do end up making me feel better about being certain ‘objects’, back in school.
