Sheer Stripes

{Sheer shirt - Forever21; Bodycon skirt - F21; Lace-up wedges - Fossil}

Pretty simple outfit today. I need to start wearing my truckload of bodycon skirts more often.

I can't believe summer is almost over, and I'm starting my last year of college/university.
Excited that my friends are moving back onto campus, and one of my best friends is actually moving into my house! (I live 10 minutes from campus, so I commute from home.) Not excited to start classes, but then again, who is?

Pink Blazer

{Pink blazer - Forever21; Leather shorts - Forever21; Booties - Nine West}

Another blazer post, and to avoid being overly redundant, I finally took off my boots. After days of showering and sleeping in them, they are now resting in my closet.
Jokes jokes. I only slept with them on...

Please ignore my ridiculous bug bites. Remind me to write a strongly worded letter to the inventor of bug spray.

TIP: I always wear my blazers with the sleeves rolled up. Makes it look a lot better in my opinion. Rolling up the sleeves gives it a casual, "Oh this? I just threw this on" feel. Otherwise, they can look too formal and stuffy.
Try it for yourselves and let me know if you feel me, ya mon?

Green Blazer

Oh whoops. Please excuse me as my belt gets more and more lopsided...

Come fall, a fabulous girl should always swear by the 3 B's: Blazers, Boots, and Being Beautiful. (4 B's?)

I promise I'll take these new boots off... eventually. Until then, please enjoy their second appearance in a row.

In other news, I went to Urban Outfitters today and didn't buy anything. I know you guys are in disbelief right now.
BUT I have noticed that backpacks are making a huge comeback. Practically every new bag is some form of an adorably slouchy drawstring backpack.
Who has two thumbs and already got a floral backpack from Forever21? Right here. I saw it coming like a little tiny train off in the distance. Psh naw, just got lucky I guess.

Color Block

{Lucca Couture colorblock corset - Urban Outfitters; Bandage skirt - Forever21; OTK boots - Piperlime}

Got this Lucca Couture color block corset on sale for $10 from Urban Outfitters. It wasn't on sale in the store, but I remembered it as on sale online.
LISTEN UP: For those of you who don't know about this little trick yet, the store will match the sale price online even if it's not marked in the store. It's come in super handy a bunch of times for me already, and I just found out about this last month!

Also wearing my new OTK boots. The suede is like buttah!

See what I did there in that last photo? I tried to (color)block the sun. Ha. Ha. Clever, right? ... Alright fine, it's lame.

The Blog Shop is almost up and running, I swear! I will try to have it up in the next few days. I'm so happy that you guys are excited for it too.

Tribal Crop Top

{Tribal top - H&M; Nude blazer - vintage from Mom; High-waisted shorts - Forever21; Lace-up wedges - Fossil}

DONE WITH MY TEST! Knocked it out of the park. Whooo! Thanks for all your words of encouragement <3

I'm free as a bird. Yipeeeee!
Time to make more blog posts. Wheeeee!

So I'm starting to take pictures of all my clothes to sell on my super neglected Blog Shop. I am not joking when I say that I'm probably going to sell everything. I don't wear like 90% of my closet, and it needs to stop taking up so much space.

Hope you guys will wanna buy some of my stuff. I'm selling things for super cheap. Like more than half off what I paid for it. I'm also going to try to do some offers for free shipping. Everyone loves free shipping! Anyways, keep you posted. Get excited!

Retail Therapy

I don't know what's gotten over me lately, but I am even more trigger happy when it comes to the "Place Order" button. I didn't know it was possible to online shop more than I already did.

Just chalk it up to retail therapy. Stress relief from all this studying? I think yes.
(This would make more sense if I were actually focused on studying, and not so distracted by online shopping...)

But anyways, I'm so excited that I have to show you guys what I got RIGHT NOW. I don't want to wait for them to ship here, and then slowly but surely dole them out one outfit at a time.

Motel Leopard Katy Dress, originally $55, on sale $17

You guys know I'm such a sucker for all things Motel

Vero Moda Chiffon One-Sleeve Dress, originally $38, on sale $15
Perfect for when I go to Vegas in January!

Suede Peep Toe Wedge, on sale $17
This one's actually a birthday gift for my best friend, but I'm so tempted to keep it.
Remember Cindy, selflessness. This gift almost makes me want to be best friends with myself...

Dusty Pink Blazer, $30
This is more expensive than 90% of my clothes, but I'm a blazer girl through and through.
Blazer colors I now own: Black, Navy, Nude, Brown Tweed, and Light Pink.
Blazer colors I still want: Kelly Green and Brick Red

Boyfriend Varsity Jacket, $17
I've had my eye on a Letterman jacket for years now. Finally found an affordable one.

Floral Velvet Backpack, $35
Most expensive bag I have ever purchased for myself. I know right, I'm super cheap.
I'm now digging up all my receipts, so I can return every bag I've purchased this month.

Restricted Siren Over-The-Knee Boot, $40
I already have some awesome OTK boots. I don't know why I bought these! What's wrong with me? I can't say no to a good deal!
If I really like these, I'll probably sell my old ones on my really neglected Blog Shop. I'm going to be selling almost my ENTIRE closet soon, so if you like my clothes, here's your chance to buy it for super cheap!

Last, but definitely not least, my pride and joy...
Cowboy Ankle Boots, $35
Absolutely in LOVE with these babies. Everything about them is perfect.

I think when I buy things online, I'm like "it's just a number, not real money!" It's so much harder to spend $35 on a bag when I'm in the store... seeing it in real life... handing over my bills... SO MUCH HARDER.

There needs to be some waiver that acknowledges you're using real money. Or a pop-up notification that says "If you know someone with an online shopping addiction, call this hotline" (like the signs they have in casinos for gambling addictions.)

Maybe the first step to recovery is to remove the F21 New Arrivals page as my homepage...

Stars & Scallops

{Lazerade stars blouse - Urban Outfitters; Scalloped eyelet shorts - Delia's; Peep-toe booties - Nine West}

My optometry exam is on Monday! Too soon! Not ready! Breathe breathe. It's okay, I got this. No, no I don't!

Commence internal freak out session... NOW.

Natural & Neon - Vote & Win!

{Oatmeal sweater - Delia's ($9); Neon skirt - Forever21 ($12); Peep-toes - Nine West ($17)}

Prepping for fall with some heavier layers, but still not ready to leave the neon fun of summer behind.

Wanna win $400? Heck yeah, you do. Who doesn't want an extra $400 in their pocket?
If you vote for my look, you could have a pretty bulging pocket, just sayin'. Think of the children... and the shoes.

Vote for me HERE, plz!

Paperbag or Plastic?

{Cargo shirt - H&M; Crop tee - Motel; Shorts - Urban Outfitters; Fringe bag - eBay; Wedges - Fossil}

Lately, my little 11-year-old brother has been taking my pictures for me. I don't know if you guys noticed a difference, but these are much better than my old ones (in my opinion).

The last picture with the hair flip was all his idea. What a little fashion photog in the making.

Urban Outfitters was having an additional 30% off all sale items a little while back... couldn't resist getting these paper bag shorts for... drum roll please... $13!

Also, don't you guys just LOVE IT when you go to buy something thinking it's going to be $19.99, but it scans as $9.99. Happened to me today at Urban. I feel on top of the world!

Guns N Roses

{Guns N Roses tee - Urban Outfitters; Pink tutu - Forever21; Ranger hat - UO; Vintage boots - Mom}

I wouldn't call my style very edgy nor would I call it extremely girly, so a lot of times, I like to mix the two to balance it out.

Love my new super huge and comfy Guns N Roses tee. For something so comfortable, it's pretty out of my comfort zone.
