back to school shopping

So, my birthday was about two weeks ago. Perfect way to spend the money burning a whole in my pocket- BTS SHOPPING! Yay! My wardrobe needs some updating. what's new? Here are some of the things I want/need to head on back to school. But what kind of things do I want? Take a look.

I really love fall clothes and shoes. Boots, long sleeves, jeans, and sweaters. So I'm always excited when fall comes around. I'm definitely a bargain shopper and I love looking at clearance racks for some great deals, too. So, that's where I find most of my stuff.

First thing- shoes.
I'm more of a flat shoe kinda girl. Not a good thing, because I'm a whopping five foot one and a half inches. I'll get some heels when I have the right outfits for them... maybe. Ha.

Boots





 Charlotte Russe
Ruched-Front Flat Ankle Boot
$35.50
Charcoal

I'm in dire need of a pair of ankle boots. These ones also come in a light brown-ish color, but I guess I like more of a gray/black color scheme.



Toms


www.toms.com
Pewter Metallic Woven Women's Vegan
$54


Yeah, I like these TOMS better than the sparkly ones. I think they'll go with more and are a little less bold, so easier to wear. I love the One for One deal. If you haven't heard about it, for each pair of TOMS you buy, a kid in need also gets a pair. It makes buying shoes feel great. 


Next-skirts


dELiAs
Robyn Faded Floral Skirt
$14.99

I need to dress up my wardrobe this year. I'm used to jeans, shorts, etc, with a sweater or a tee. Add a necklace. Done. I want to add some vintage pieces and some girly-er additions. Change it up a bit. New year. Fresh start.





dELiAs
Jess Skirt
$14.99

I love floral prints. They're cute, girly, and fun. I need that.


















Next- tops


dELiAs
Graphic Dolman Tee
$14.50

Peacock feathers (or feathers in general) are very "in" right now. So is the off-the-shoulder look. That gives this shirt two thumbs up. Yes.

Sophie Banded Bottom
$9.99
Oatmeal

Off the shoulder? Check.









Last thing- casual dresses




Forever21
Paisley Floral Dress
$17.80
Cream/Blue

I am also in dire need of CASUAL dresses. The ones you can wear to school. The kinds I like aren't exactly easy to find in stores, but online at F21, I see quite a few I like. Check it out, if you need some too. Riiiight, here.






Forever21
Confetti Knit Dress
$14.90
Black/Cocoa

A simple dress with a cute belt. Classic & chic.






actually, now last, these shorts



Forever21
Matelot Herringbone Short
$17.80
Brown/Black

I want to try a pair of high-waisted shorts. They're super cute & can be dressed up or down depending on what you wear them with. Very versatile and adorable, thank you very much.



That's all for now... hopefully I'll be able to find some of these things later this week, or when I end up going. I also got a super cute purse for my birthday, so after this shopping trip, I'll have pictures of everything for you. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to follow my blog, and/or comment!
