 One New Jersey teenager was such an outspoken opponent of her school’s dress code that she decided to have one final say on the subject — through her yearbook quote. While most of her peers chose quotes from historical figures and celebrities, DiPaolo went with, “I’m sorry, did my shoulders distract you from reading this quote?” 
 
 On her inspiration for the quote, the 18-year-old tells Yahoo Style, “Over the past four years, myself and many of my friends have received dress code violations for clothes that were nowhere near inappropriate. I applaud this shit — Nik Latrone (@NikHasTricks) June 17, 2017 
 
 It really is the perfect quote coming from someone who describes themselves as infamous for fighting their school's dress code double standards. I just found it funny that the outfits for senior portraits technically violated the dress code by exposing our shoulders, so I saw my opportunity and ran with it.” 
 
 She shares that she never really agreed with her school’s dress code throughout her high school career. DiPaolo tweeted her senior yearbook photo and quote on June 13 with the caption: “Tori: 1; Dress Code: 0.” 
 
 According to Yahoo Style, West Milford High School’s official dress code prohibits “halters, half-shirts, shorts, or sweaters and blouses that expose breasts or stomachs.” DiPaolo told Yahoo that she became “a bit infamous” for fighting her school administration on its dress code. “My school’s dress code prohibits boys from wearing muscle shirts," DiPaolo told the Huffington Post.
– Senior yearbook quotes are by and large boring inspirational sayings gleaned from a quick Google search. But Tori DiPaolo, a senior at West Milford High School in New Jersey, wanted to make a point: That what she (and all the other girls) at her school were asked to wear for the photo broke the school dress code, and that the code itself is ridiculous. "I'm sorry, did my shoulders distract you from reading this quote?" she had printed, and then sent out a photo of the page on Twitter with the words: "Tori: 1. Dress code: 0." As Mashable reports, "Twitter was here for it," with hundreds of retweets and likes and mostly supportive comments. DiPaolo tells HuffPost that she chose the quote because she finds it "ironic that the classic robes we take pictures in technically violated dress code." Plus, she said, "I just wanted to get a few laughs" because "no one is distracted by shoulders." She tells Yahoo that the dress code is not enforced equally at her school, with boys prohibited from wearing muscle shirts but not getting punished for it. "I'm an AP student, in academic clubs, and on the tennis team—I'm not exactly a delinquent—but I've spent hours sitting in principal's offices because 40-year-old men were offended by my back showing." Reactions range from, "This is honestly the best thing I've ever seen" to, "Not sure about the hair, though. You could do more with it." (This outfit got this college student kicked out of a mall.)
