Trendwatch
This week has been exceptionally cold and windy. Hope you dress up warmly for the rest of the term!
This week at Exeter, as Halloween approached, we were able to see the creativity of our fellow Exonians expressed through various classic and trendy Halloween outfits: from glamorous disney princesses to dodge ball players. One Halloween theme that caught our attention was a group of Exonians—Michael Garcia ’18, Samantha Resnick ’19, Makinrola Orafidiya ’19, Lara Galligani ’18 and Michaela O’Brien ’19—dressing up as the Upper East siders from the drama series Gossip Girl. The gentlemen pulled off their navy blazers. They paired straight-fit cream pants with yellow and blue button-down shirts with skinny ties. The ladies flaunted white button-down shirts with black ribbons and loose ties. They all wore different-colored plaid A-line skirts, bringing back the early 2000s schoolgirl look. The girls completed their look with knee-high black socks. Seriously, great teamwork guys!
Another super cute group costume for Halloween were the cereal sisters. A group of seniors—Gabby Gabel, Emily Coombs, Chloe Scocimara, Molly Seibel, Sophia Oguri and Maddie Shapiro—dressed up as different cereal mascots. They really embodied the different styles of each mascot from our favorite cereal brands. A big congrats on winning the costume contest, you guys really deserved it!
Caroline Fleming ’20 and Sophia Chang ’20 dressed up as hippies. Caroline wore elephant-printed balloon pants with a matching flowy blouse. She topped off the look with blue headband and clear circular glasses. Sophia wore navy blue bootcut leggings with paisley designs.
Counter to the Halloween spirit, a group of preps dressed up as Christmas for the day. Preps Savi Keidel, Allison Hanlon, Brody Faliero, Dylan O’Day and Avery Napier wore a variety of warm, fuzzy Christmas sweaters for the day. When asked about their outfits, they said “they forgot the holiday.”
Mariam Jebari ’18 dressed up as the classic photo of actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. She wore a black turtleneck sweater, and light blue jeans. To imitate The Rock, she wore a green Fanny pack and showed off her a gold necklace.
Students weren’t the only ones dressing up. Faculty did so as well. Ms. Breen wore a silk light pink adidas tracksuit and dressed up as the seniors in “Bobby Murray’s Ice Cream Man” video, along with Ms. Dean and Mr. Hayes. Ms. Breen complemented her tracksuit with her all white, original Stan Smith Adidas.
A huge shoutout to all Exonians who dressed up in their best costumes for Halloween and made this week such an eventful one!
Love,
Sherry & Michael
