FOREVER 21 HAUL

Hi babes, I hope you're all excited that finals (or not, if you're on trimesters like moi) are OVER! I'm pretty sure happiness was actually radiating off of me today when school ended. Anyways, yesterday I got a pretty yellow package on my doorstep so let's haul it out! 

1. Flower Power studs ($4.80) 

Okay there's a reason why my blog is about "flower children", and it's not just because I'm a wannabe hipster. P.S. Sorry for naked nails, my bare nails haven't seen the sun for weeks. 

2. Fit and Flare dress ($12.80, black)  

so I actually lost weight this year and this dress makes me look actually pretty good which blew my mind. I recommend every girl has one (nice fitting dress) in their closet.

3. Everyday V neck Cardigan ($8.80, black) 

comfy cardigan lyfe

4. Everyday Skinny Jeans ($7.80)

I wore these today and they're like high-waisted, super comfy leggings. They honestly don't feel like jeans. 

5. Chilly Days Infinity Scarf ($7, navy) 

warm warm warm

6. Everyday Baseball Shirt ($6.80, black sleeves with white) 

I just needed a baseball shirt 

 

Also in case you wanted to know, I wear a size SMALL and I'm 26/27 in pants. I'm  5'7" in case you're wondering about my proportions. So yeah.

And someone super sweet (like cotton candy) brought me a goodie from Ulta as a gift. Gracias girl! 

It's a set of 6 mini Benefit lip glosses which smell like peach smoothies. The colors are A-Lister (peachy pink), Fauxmance (mauve, literally my favorite lip color besides red), Icebreaker (clear), Kiss You (dark lilac), Lollibop (bubblegum pink), and Poutrageous (coral). 

OOTD x 2

Hello my lovelies! So this week has been a mess, to put it nicely. Also good luck to all those who have midterms and finals next week, may the odds be ever in your favor *cue Hunger Games music* 

So I have, not 1, but 2 OOTD b/c I was too lazy to type OOTD twice. Here we go!

1st OOTD 

• teal high-low shirt from Urban Outfitters

• black jeans from Calvin Klein

• combat boots from G by Guess

• owl necklace from Forever 21

2nd OOTD

• coral dress from Pacsun

• black tank top from Forever 21

• coral scarf with umbrellas from Anthropologie 

• white cardigan from Ann Taylor 

• sheer black tights

• black belt from TJMaxx 

• (my overworn) Steve Madden oxfords

Also in case, you were wondering about weather here, it is currently about 20 degrees today which is probably highly unreasonable weather to wear a dress but YOLO (lamest YOLO moment ever might I add). Have a great day and stay warm! 

PUBLIC EDUCATION SUCKS

Hello my lovelies, happy December! Hopefully you all have great weather and a good holiday season! 

Today I wanted to talk about public education, mainly because I have direct contact with the system every day. The goal of public education is stated in its name: educate the public. If we, as students, are there to learn at school, nothing should trump that ability. However, at my school the dress code presides over everything. Today I wore leggings with a big sweater (not exactly fingertip length since my arms are a little long but it covered what needed to be covered) and a teacher came up to me BEFORE school started, a full 40 minutes before school began and told me off for my outfit. However it was my first time ever getting in "trouble" so nothing happened, but repeat offenders have to stay OUT OF CLASS so their parents can bring their children appropriate clothes. Honestly, that contradicts the whole goal of school in the first place for something totally picayune. I felt I was dressed appropriately and to even imagine sitting out of my (all AP) classes for something so plain out dumb enrages me. I understand that we shouldn't be dressed like sluts for school, but if students aren't dressed that way, they should be allowed to continue on. School was put in place to educate, not waste time staring at a wall waiting for your parents. I really don't appreciate the teacher calling me out, and none of my other actual teachers said anything today. I'm just disappointed that this is the priority of my school, instead of busting the hundreds of druggies or congratulating those who have done well in academics. 

What are your feelings on public education? Mine are clearly a little displeased. Have a great week! 

 

time to dress up! OOTD

Salutations audience! I felt like a fancy greeting was in order because I dressed up today and I thought I would share! (mainly because I've bummed it straight for about two weeks...) I actually had something to look nice for today so here's my outfit! 

1. blue and purple floral dress from a local boutique

2. plain black long sleeve shirt from Forever 21

3. gold and black belt from a romper I got from tjmaxx 

4. sheer black tights 

5. lace up booties from old navy (steal!) 

6. my own friendship bracelets and Alex and Ani Gemini bracelet

7. blue floral earrings (i think they're from Claire's, to be honest)

Also I have a mini haul! 

I got Sally Hansen Instadry Nail Polish in Wined Up and Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Soothing Sorbet. It's the perfect berry color for fall! 

Well I hope this is a good inspiration for dressing up in colder weather! Have a great day looking good, no matter what the weather is! 

THE STRANGER CYCLE

hello my wallflowers, hope you're all well! also my prayers go out to those affected by Haiyan. The world will support you in this time of need.

so I just had a deep thought, probably because I'm supposed to be asleep and every worldly thought occurs then. Everyone starts as strangers- boy/girlfriends, friends, teachers, coworkers. We meet and then the relationship changes as time goes on. Teachers remain more stranger-ly than friends and friends more so than boy/girlfriends. It just struck me as odd as I was thinking about how I became friends with my current "group". We all bonded over something- food, waiting afterschool, clothes, classes. That just fascinates me. And over time, we accept each other's differences although if we didn't know each other, we wouldn't be pleased with the other person. This was mainly based off the Wongfu video "Strangers Again" which tells about a couple who falls apart. But it applies to everyone. Every cycle is different; strangers-friends, strangers-friends-strangers, strangers-friends-boy/girlfriends-strangers, the possibilities are infinite. But those that end with strangers are most devastating, for one has to expend time and heart to get to know another only for it to fall apart. 

Just some food for thought, bye!
