*Popular Vs. Unique- CLOTHES!

-_- Yes, I just accidentally closed my whole tab when I just completed this blog already. Not too happy right now.

HELLO GALS! &...boys..

Point of this blog: I understand you girls who want to "fit in" and wear those AE skinny jeans, pair of Uggs, Hollister top. And if you can't, then you feel not good enough, and like people judge you...

So recently, I have been school shopping. As much as we all dread sitting in class, listening to teachers blab on and on, why not do it in style? 
And when I say style, NO, I do not mean spending $500 on brand name clothes that aren't comfortable and you just want to fit in. Fit in? I wanna STAND OUT.

One thing that just boggles my mind is why girls feel so compelled to spend so much money on Hollister, Sperrys, Abercrombie, etc. Yeah, I know, they have cute stuff. But do you find it cute ONLY because it's popular? Why not create your OWN style girls?! 

I bought maybe about half a new wardrobe...and spent less than $250.
Thanks to my mother, I know how to taking advantage of bargain shopping. WHEW! 

FOREVER. TWENTY. ONE. <-- my store heaven. As much as I hate ordering online, I was forced, since the closest is 3 hours away. 10 things for less than $100? Hey, works for me. 

When shopping, you MUST twiddle it down to the necessities/what you REALLY love. I learned this the hard way- having a closet full of ugly, mismatched clothes that were not flattering and non-useful. Now, I have learned to logically think while buying clothes- creating lists, asking yourself "well WHOA! That top over there is so cute! $20! ...but, do I REALLLYYY need it? What can I put it with?" 

By doing this, you'll soon find that you can mix and match many outfits instead of being the average everyday girl and wearing a brand-name tshirt, jeans & Uggs. No, i'm not bashing on you chickas that do-that is FINE! But for personal style, some girls just feel so compelled to spend that kind of money, and get depressed and feel like they're not good enough if they can't.

Create. Your. Own. Style. I had to learn to not care what people thought- and it turns out okay in the end. 

So anyways, here are just a few catches I got for back-to-school:

High-rise pink shorts

Neck scarf with lace top


Basic fall sweater

White/black bodycon

Lace top

fall coat... $18!!

basic v-neck with/cream shorts
