Clothing Haul

Hello!

I'm not one to do the whole makeup guru, fashion blog stuff, but I am a girl that still loves to find cute clothes at a cheap price. Of course since school is almost back in session, there are a bunch of deals on clothes and anything else needed for college and school. To take advantage of these deals and even try to get more of a deal, I stopped by my local TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I just want to apologize now for the iffy quality of pictures. The lighting also makes some of the colors come out funny.

Express denim shorts
Retail: $32.00
Marshalls: $16.99

Abercrombie & Fitch knit top
Retail: $16.00
Marshalls: $9.99

Active basic V-neck tee
Retail: $7.00
Marshalls: $5.99

Cynthia Rowley V-neck tee
Retail: $20.00
T J Maxx: $9.99

Mine skinny jeans
Retail: $22.00
T J Maxx: $14.99

BeBop lace dress
Retail: $24.00
T J Maxx: $16.99

I also stopped by Charming Charlie to buy some jewelry. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the necklace I got but I also found a really nice knit top.

Charming Charlie flowy knit top
Retail: $15.00
I paid $6.99 as it was on clearance

My two favorite finds are definitely the dress and skinny jeans. I don't really want to call the pants jeans because they aren't made from a denim material. If anything they are more like the Pixie Pants from J Crew which makes this find even better because those pants go for $98.00. In other words, I think I found a really great dupe for those pants, and they are going to be very useful for many different outfits.

Typography Wall Art

Hey guys,

I'm excited to announce that during this upcoming school year, I will be a Resident Assistant (RA) for my university. I will be working with freshman in a Global Cultures living learning community (LLC). Because I'm not willing to tell you guys which university I attend, the amount of information I can tell you guys will depend on whether or not it reveals my colleges identity. Regardless, I hope to tell you as much about my experience as I can especially since this will be my first year as a RA and I don't know yet what to expect. Training starts for me in a week in which I will get to know my fellow staff members and prepare the dorm for the incoming class of 2017.

Now on to the main point of this post. Because I am an RA, I will have a room all to myself. As such, I've been trying to figure out how to decorate the greater amount of space I will have. As a proud nerdfighter, I decided to make some 3D typography letters spelling out DFTBA pictured below. I'm really happy with how these turned out!
