so fresh and so clean clean

Good morning! Today's forecast is hot, extra humid, high of 90 degrees. It is NEVER this hot here in Upstate NY in September. After today, the temperature drops down to to low to mid 70's, which is normal, and thankfully I can finally start wearing fall clothes. But UNFORTUNATELY, I have to deal with being at school all day where there is NO AIR CONDITIONING and PEOPLE SMELL.



Dress, diy teeshirt recon. Vest, used to be a blazer. Shoes, BCBGirl via Daffy's. Necklace, China.

i'm melting!

I'm melting, but not like the Wicked Witch of the West did. If you poured water on me, I wouldn't melt. I would love you forever. It is so fracking hot and humid and gross and sticky, especially in our NON-AIR-CONDITIONED SCHOOL. So, today's outfit was more practical, less fashionable. I was sweatin' under that belt by the end of the day.

the first day of school...what!?

I'm bored as hell and there's another ten minutes before I can leave my house to go to school. So I figured, it's as good a time as any to take some snapshots of my outfit! It's a little too colorful, and everything fits on the big side, but it's hella comfy and I only have three classes today, and the hurricanes down south are making the humidity levels go berserk up here.

Top, refashioned UO top, bought for $10.
Cardigan, refashioned Target tee, bought for $5.
Skirt, shorts to skirt recon, Christopher and Banks via Goodwill, $2.
Shoes, Target, $6.
Earrings, Target, gift.

two days until bondage.

Okay, school is not really bondage. Most of the time. ACTUALLY, I'm really excited for school. To start, I get to go home at NOON every other day. NOON! N-O-O-N. As in TWELVE PM. DID YOU HEAR ME?! How fracking sweet is that? Gotta love block scheduling and senior year course loads. Of course, that also means that every other day, I also have five straight blocks (7 hours) of classes, with no lunches or frees. But I can deal. (Noon!)

Anyway, ACK. With two days of summer left, I have been frantically preparing myself for school. Priority One: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL OUTFITS. Because of the above-mentioned block scheduling, I, unlike many suburban American high schoolers, have TWO first days of school, TECHNICALLY. Anyway. A sampling:


*Jeans, Guess via Loehman's, $9. (Omigod I am in love with these jeans - sooo comfy!)
*Pumps, BCBGirl via Daffy's, $23.
*Belt, H&M, $5.
**Blouse, Nordstrom Rack, $10.
Tank, Old Navy, $3.
[CHECK OUT THAT BARGAIN SHOPPING!]

*New York City trip success story.
**Mall of America (highlight of my ickle Yellowstone Roadtrip)

Happy Labor Day (and Labor Day sales)!

new york city is where the heart is

I'm hoooooome! New York City was a blast, as always, and my friend and I did some awesomely awesome shopping. But first! Packing for the...one night we were there was the best part. New York City ≠ upstate NY suburb. So we could have a little more fun with these outfits, and it was very satisfying.

I think I'm sick of stuffing vocab in these, so I'll pass for today. Maybe just a couple times a week. Otherwise, it's overkill.
