Hello!
So I go to a secondary school in London, and I'm 15. My school uniform consists of a grey skirt, black tights/socks, black shoes, white shirt, black jumper, black blazer and a purple tie.

I already have black brogues, wear one ring (which is from India) every day and have two lobe piercings on each ear. I have long, brown, curly hair, and my everyday makeup is winged eyeliner and nothing else.

My school have just told me to get rid of my bag as it is not black. I prefer backpacks as I have to walk to and from school everyday and they are more comfy. If you have any links to vintage-looking relatively cheap black backpacks, I will be extremely grateful :)

So basically what I'm asking is how can I look more indie/vintage with a school uniform? Like ideas for different accessories and how to have my hair and whatnot. I'm not saying I will completely follow everything you suggest because I'm not that kind of person, I'm just looking for ideas. Any links to pictures/items for inspiration would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time :)
I'm not asking this because I'm a wannabe indie kid or something and I want to fit into a crowd, I would just like to have a bit of an individual style, as everyone is forced to pretty much look the same at my school, haha.

Hi!!!
Well, for inspiration i will put a link to Blair from gossip girl here>>>> http://www.collegefashion.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/blair-waldorf-tailored.jpg


Anyway, if you want a vintage look, buy a long dangling locket/clock necklace. If the eiffel tower is on it, bonus points. Also, the eyeliner is a great start! If you're bold, (and have felxible parents) do a bright red lip. Try NYC in Retro Red, I know you can get it in the states at any drugstore (cvs rite aid walgreens etc). Not sure about london. its 99 cents tho. If your parents are not for it, try the Burts Bees Lip Shimmer in Cherry. It is red, but more sheer to give the illusion of a redder lip but still appear natural.


Also, try the classic vintage RED COAT.

Backpacks!!!! Try these from jansport, some are a stretch as far as 'black'

Look at the different colors

What do girls wear as backpacks in high school?

Q. Would a regular 2 pocket black Jansport backpack be ok?
And a white tote bag for days I wear girly things?
I'm starting high school in august.


Answer
I take all AP classes, so I get a lot of work, but backpacks from Jansport and LLbean work real well. The white tote bag would be a good idea, but not in white. You're going to be lugging around your bag everywhere you go, and you're going to have to set it down at some point and the white color is going to turn brown or grey.
