Fashion is... School!

So, long time, no talk! I started my freshman year of highschool on Tuesday, and it was okay. I was so excited to go and meet new people and I get to all my classes and I know every kid in every class. I was so bummed. I did join the debate team, and I heard that debate people get really close, so hopefully I'll meet new people there! I wore this the first day of school! Just a simple outfit, that appeals to most people. Don't want to be to outlandish the first day! Hahah. Today, I'm wearing something similiar to the mall to find my friend a homecoming dress! It's in two weeks! Ah! And I'm excited :)

Fashion is... New!

I have no decided that my outfits look henious in the photo, but cute in real life, and it's starting to bug me, hahah. I look so gangly! Hahah. Anyways, my day. So, we had orientation for highschool today! Yay! I got my official schedule, looked around the school, saw people I haven't seen in 3 years (and 3 monthes) and got pictures taken! The picture guy was rediculous. He set me up, and than I thought he'd count "One, two, three" and than a flash. But he goes "Okay. Flash". I will probabl look so confused, but I was smiling :) I decided to go with a simple top, so in 15 years when I look back at my yearbook, I won't say "What the hell was I wearing!?!" I opted for a simple necklace, and capris! Random flipflops I found on my floor, and I was set! It was a fun day :) My top is from Delias ($5), the capris are from HCO ($10) The necklace is from a boutique up north ($3) and the flipfloops were at oldnavy (2 for $5). And the bracelets were from friends, so free :) That made my total outfit worth $20.50! Yay for bargain hunting ;)

Fashion Is... Eclectic

Okay so I'm cheating a little bit. I wore this a while ago but I'm posting it anyway. I love combining staples from very different styles- it creates a fun unique look. Here, I combined a very yacht-like preppy look with a kind of indie-boho scarf. The shorts are very classic, white linen with a wide cuff. The sweater is an airy knit, perfect for summer, and I added a purple tank under. I liked the unusual color combination. The scarf was sort of random and last minute because the sweater felt bare without it. The busy, colorful print is a prefect contrast with the the plain pieces in the rest of the outfit and it makes it more interesting. For some reason I took of my shoes in this picture, but I was wearing gold ballet flats.

I threw this outfit together last night, joking around with my roommate. (Yep, that's right - Barbie is officially a college student!) Buuut then I decided to actually wear it. Haha, the first day of classes is today so I figured why not? It's a little "scene kid," I think, but it's not all crazy and wild and stuff. Maybe indie? I don't know!

Plans today: American History & Psych, bowling, movies!

Fashion is ... Fast.

Today, I had "bonding" time with my mother. We went grocery shopping, hahah. It was a random thing, like I'd been in my PJ's when she says "Leahbeah, we're going grocery shopping." Okay, mom. So I had to throw on clothes in 2 minutes. I threw on shorts, the cami I was already wearing, and a top that I got for only 9$, at AF of all places. And I threw on a bracelet. Took me longer to do my makeup than my clothes today. I also like that even though it's super simple, and doesn't have many pieces, it's still interesting, with the crochet detailing of the top.

I also thought you guys might be curious as to what I'm always wearing on my wrists, so I decided to take a picture of them! They are bracelets that some of my bestfriends made for me. 2 of them have fallen of recently, so I only have 4 on :(

Fashion Is... Best Friends.

I love my best friend. She is seriously, like my other half. Last time we hung out, I got sick (see two posts down) so I wanted to redeem myself this time by not throwing up when we hung out! I wore this over to her house and brought my swimsuit, and a change of clothes for after. I love this outfit because it's simple, but has beautiful embroidery. Perfect for a summer's day. The necklace is actually a "Best Friends" locket that we bought together :) Anyways, we went swimming basically all day, made brownies in a heart shaped pan, and choose out picture day outfits! When we came down to dinner, we wore matching outfits (we buy the same basic clothes... hahaha, we decided to be dorks) and ate, and made "crap pies". It's like bread, with butter and pie filling, we had raspberry, and than you cook it on the fire. Very good. So, that was my amazing day. We also attempted to take photos of us jumping in the water. The one of the far left is when we put it on timer, and that was the best one we got; it's are to do!

Blouse: Delia's

Fashion is... Simple.

This outfit is just about as simple as simple gets. Denim shorts, white top-- there's not much to it. I wore this to my friend's party by the lake and it worked perfectly; it was laid-back but still put together. The loose top a sailor shorts were easy to take on and off when wondering between the lake and picnic tables (mini cupcakes and fruit salad... yum!). I love how fresh and easy the top is, yet clean-cut enough to dress up. I could wear it with dark wash skinny jeans (to balance out the very loose fit) and metallic flats to go out. Even though I wouldn't be able to wear the bikini top underneath on a regular day, I loved the feminine touch it ads to the outfit. I love the girly embroidery on the top, which is something Betsey Johnson does so well. I love her attention to detail which makes her dresses so amazing, but clearly she doesn't stop there. In short, I love this swimsuit.
