Lacoste was HUGE when I was in high school. Absolutely huge. I went to a public school and we could wear whatever we wanted as long as our skirts/shorts were long enough and no tank tops or too much cleavage. Even without an imposed uniform, it seemed like everyone had a uniform: denim skirt + Lacoste polo.
When I go through old photos on Facebook, we are all just decked out in our Lacoste polos. I also had a couple of dresses from Lacoste that I coveted. If you are a devout TCP follower, you might remember a couple of them from my mirror selfie days on Instagram too as I brought them along to college.
I can’t even remember when I got this particular polo dress. It’s definitely a staple and wears well year after year. I throw it in the wash with regular clothes and then air dry it, but it’s never lost its coloring or shape.
I love the sporty look of it with the shoes, too. I’ll almost always wear it with sneakers or Jack Rogers in the summer.
Polo Dress // Sneakers // Similar Cuff // Similar Bracelet // Wicker Handbag (c/o)
PS I had to include this photo; I went back through Facebook to find it… It’s so 2006. The shoulder Coach bags, ribbon belts, and Lacoste polos. 😂
I love the last photo! My time in high school was a bit after the Lacoste craze, plus, I had a school uniform, but I love how classic the shirtdress looks. Very sporty, love it! 🙂

That last photo made me laugh! I definitely rocked the exact same look!
The necklaces!! I think I wore that exact same thing in high school… I love that you’ve taken an outfit we may cringe at a little now and upgraded it to match a more elevated style. I want to go through my old Facebook photos now to see if there are any outfits I can do the same thing with!
Lacoste is such a classic brand. I love that shirtdress. It’s super cute!
Do the dresses fit TTS? Lacoste was all that when I was in high school, too, but I graduated in 1997.
The ribbon belts!! Isnt that a blast from the past. I was visiting my parents house last week and forgot to pack a belt and I dug one of those out from my mom’s closet.
I miss my Lacoste polos! They’re somewhere in our basement… I’ll have to try to dig them out.

Oh, I remember that time! I used to have so many polo shirts that I grew a bit tired of them and I barely wear them anymore. I also loved polo dresses, they were so comfy and flattering!
I am so seeing myself in this post – definitely rocked a few pastel-colored polos in my day…I thought THE cutest look was a jean skirt, polo and clogs (why why why!!??)
I love the outfit Carly! When I first met my boyfriend in high school he was mad about Lacoste hahah – this brings back so many memories!
Happy Thursday!

Love the navy hair bow 🙂
I was so glad when denim skirts started to make a come back! Although I am glad they’re not so short or low cut.
The throwback is too funny 😂 you really weren’t kidding about the unofficial official uniform.
Love how you styled this dress – it’s so sweet and classy! Loved seeing the last photo also. 🙂
