Alas, summer has ended and school begins. Today was my first day of school and this was my outfit. I was surprised everyone just wore a pair of short shorts and a plain t-shirt! Don't people freak out about what you wear on the first day... or is that just me? Who knows.


Anyway...I got everything from, you guessed it, Urban Outfitters. So here it is.
I didn't dress up too much. When I'm going to school, I don't like to accessorize too much because everything just seems to get in the way because my jewelry tends to be a little on the dramatic side. So I went for clean and simple, a little sexy (with the see-through top and zipped up skirt) and with a pop of colour. And keep in mind that the colors look different on the picture. The top is more of a coral and the skirt is lighter wash of denim.

Hey everyone!

So. Surprisingly, I haven't even started my back to school shopping yet! Since I'm on more of a budget than past years (mostly because of the recession) I've been looking into getting the bulk of my new things from Urban Outfitters rather than a more expensive store. On their website they have the cutest cardigans and shoes. Aritzia, a trendy store among teens and 20 somethings, is really popular around where I live. Although I love some of their clothes, I notice that they're definitely not the best quality and are somewhat overpriced. Another con about the store is that, since there's always like 60 people in the store, the most common sizes in jeans are usually gone. If you buy your entire wardrobe from there, like the majority of my school, you're also bound to look alot like somebody else that day.

I've been trying to expand my wardrobe with more original pieces from places like Kensington Market, where I've found sunglasses which look like they're $80 but are actually $20. I'll post some pics up from my little trip with my friend Katie. We went into the most eccentric shops and saw some pretty interesting things (A plastic bowl of soup?!)

Btw..I'm going to start posting my outfits of the day and commenting on fall fashion shows soon so keep reading

Bye everyone
