44 CommentsThe rain subsided, and the latter part of the week brought days of glorious weather. Florals, spotted on the young and old alike, dominated College Walk in an apparent nod to Easter and general spring spirit. Bwog brings you some highlights.

@Really? All Barnard girls? That’s just a symptom of half-hearted reporting.
@sad commentary on our student population that the last girl is considered “hot.” cute, fine. hot? no.
@Consult an endocrinologist Save your aesthetic prejudices for the dusty drawing room, you silly prig. The woman’s simply delicious. And you’re a sclerotic little knot of envy. Go away.
@dichotomy so here’s my problem:
-the two little girls are absolutely adorable – staring at that photo for 30 seconds or so seriously made me feel better about life … these 2 little mini-people will someday inherent our (troubled) world and they have such innocence and poise at the same time. i’m a cold heartless bastard but this photo seriously raised my spirits for the day
meanwhile…
-the last girl is smoking hot and sends my mind careening towards sex like a bullet-train
… and then I think to myself how she had to look like those little girls once upon a time
Bottom line: Bwog, from now on please respect the fragility of the male psyche and don’t combine cuteness and hotness in the same post
Many thanks
@Anonymous Sophie! Love the dress
@woo hoo! Way to represent Sulz/Reid 6. You go girls! Especially Becca.
@These girls are Hot. Number 1, some of you are saying she looks like a grandma. She doesn’t look anything like my grandmother. What I would do to her….
And number 3, what a body.
@Another fashionable gay I agree with my compatriot above–floral prints are for grandma’s curtains.
@Save your money! While the structure of the third adult female dress is quite sexy – a perfect balance of cleavage and leg – the floral print is *ghastly*. As a fashionable gay, I exhort you Barnard and Columbia gals alike to avoid floral prints at all costs! They suggest immaturity and call to mind those tea-parties my lady peers would host in 2nd grade with the company of their favorite stuffed animals/Barbie Dolls. However, brava Rebecca on the yellow heels and sky blue bag! Finally, a woman with tasteful accessories! Students should follow suit in wearing heels, regardless of how uncomfortable they feel. I hate to break it to you, but it’s PAIN FOR FASHION. Burn those ballet flats and hike yourself up a few inches. Trust me, the guys/lipstick lesbians will notice. And if they notice, you’ll be out of those heels and in their bed in no time…
As for the youngins, I recommend Baby Dior: http://boutiques.lesculottescourtes.com/blog/images/children-salon/dior.jpg
Very chic, simple, and no floral prints.
@Anonymous Clearly, you must be joking about only wearing heels. I am a fashionable woman who likes to wear heels at times, but I don’t think that it is remotely appropriate for any man (gay or not) to tell me or any of my fellow ladies to do so! There is no reason that anyone should condemn themselves to painful, dangerous and f00t/ankle/knee-damaging heels for fashion. Stylish flats are perfectly acceptable and oxfords have made a big comeback. So if you are being serious, then I would really have to question your taste and knowledge of fashion.
@Anonymous a-fucking-men.
i challenge any man who tells me heels are sexy to walk for one mile (just one!) in a pair and then say it to me again.
also, fashion is not unequivocally about getting men to notice you.
@I think that, having survived a mile of discomfort/torture, we’d probably appreciate your struggle more … but still find them pretty damn sexy on occassion
@"fashionable hetero" So false. Floral prints done right are beautiful, and dressed up or down, they work for all sorts of occasions.
And excuse me, but since when is someone an automatic fashion expert because of their sexual orientation? Seriously dude, get off your high horse.
@another "fashionable hetero" I AGREE. spring is all about sweet and soft color palettes and patterns (florals and lace).
to the dude thats a “fashionable gay,” i must say that your taste in the tacky yellow pointed heel and the generically branded blue bag is disgusting.
@BC '13 Sigh. I wish I was rich enough to afford number 3’s outfit.
BTW, I saw her on the lawn today wearing that and being photographed for something else, possibly Hoot? She wore the same thing yesterday. How does one get on ASOCW, anyway? I wish I could nominate my friends- they have some damn good fashion sense.
@rising fashionista are you kidding me?
she looks so trashy.
that outfit is a disaster fo sho.
@Becca Spalding is the greatest! beautiful and awesome.
@i agree! she’s pretty much amazing.
@"Becca Spalding" probably left these comments for herself.
@Anonymous she has friends, you obviously don’t
@cha Enough, Rebecca! Sheesh…
@Becca Spalding looks trashy.
@Anon DO NOT WANT ANYMORE BARNARD GIRLS ON THIS.
find well dressed SEAS people, because we actually exist.
@AMEN SISTA FRIEND
@anonymous When you come out of Butler maybe you will be photographed
@Anonymous three girls in floral dresses with sunglasses.
get a little more creative, bwog.
(although the little ones are cute!)
@wow florals…for spring…shocking!
@Hah. Thank you for the contribution, Ms. Priestly.
@Anonymous becca spalding is a fox!!

@queer@cc Grown-up girls: 1) Love the bag! Not exactly an age-appropriate dress, but way to go for it
2) I’m gonna second whoever said it–the T9 is an excellent accessory. And the glasses go well, too
3) Looks hot, but who wouldn’t if they were dressing on a $500-an-item budget?
Little girls: Awwwww
@Anonymous Dude, the Buffalo Exchange rocks.
@i never understood the girls who wore heels to butler. don’t you want to at least be comfortable while you’re in that hellhole?
@Anonymous I never understood why they’d do that, because it’s hella annoying when they click-clack across the floor in an otherwise very quiet room
@I know! I mean, kudos for wanting to look good, but wow. Heels in Butler. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen that.
@#$@%! veil of anonymity:
1) it looks like a grandma passed away in it.
2) burgers go nicely with that dress…
3) floral done right: damn you look fine
@cc '11 haha i ran into that last girl in the bathroom in butler this morning checking herself out in the full-length mirror
@Anonymous eh, I’d check myself out too if I looked like that
@amen amen
@Anonymous 1) wtf is with all of the barnard girls. we always have a ton.
2)I do not get this new trend of dressing like your grandmother. Grown-up girl #1 just looks stupid. Why doesn’t she accessorize with orthopedic shoes and a life-alert?!
@Anonymous THOSE GIRLS ARE ADORABLE!!!!
@Oh please... Every girl at Columbia is obsessed with Pinkberry.
@Anonymous A graphing calculator is an excellent accessory
@frozen yogurt only at barnard
