New Year/Winter Haul 2016

Hello everyone. I had been planning a haul post as well as a shopping trip for a while now, and someone told me that the mall I was going to was having great sales from after Christmas, so I bought quite a bit of stuff. I suprisingly didn’t get any clothing or makeup for Christmas, but I got a lot of money and gift cards from distant relatives so I went shopping with some friends and bought some things that I’ll be showing you today.  I haven’t done a haul post in a while now, and it’s one of my favorites so I’m pretty excited for this one. 

Side note: About 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago, I recieved a few hurtful comments on my blog. I just wanted to let you all know that altough it didn’t bother me all that much, I’d like to keep my blog a positive place. And if you think I’m not doing something well, I’d appreciate it if you’d tell me in a constructive, supportive way instead of insulting me because I really work hard and try my best for my blog posts. And don’t be afraid to suggest something for me to change, I won’t be offended and I would like more chances to improve my blog as much as possible. With that being said, let’s get started with this haul. 

Aeropostale 

I had an Aeropostale gift card that my friend gave me a while back, and I remembered it so I ordered a couple things online. 

  
Black Patterned Tasseled Scarf- originally $20, on clearance + an extra 30% off clearance items. Final price: $7

  
Navy Blue Henley Shirt With Light Gray Flowers- originally $25, on clearance + an extra 30% off clearance items. Final price: $5

Kohls

  

Fuzzy Thick Light Gray Sweater- on sale for $25
  

Super Soft Green and White Sweater (this is literally the softest sweater I’ve ever felt)- on sale for $20

  
Green Peter Pan Collar Polka Dotted Sweater- on sale for $30

 
    
 
Black Polka Dotted Floral Bag- on sale for $35

  
Red Chunky Knit Throw- $30

This blanket is great because it’s essentially a sweater but it’s big enough to cover your whole body. It’s very soft, and makes your room look cuter too. 

   
 
Mistletoe and Holly Candle- on sale for $10

I bought this candle after Christmas, so since it’s a Christmas themed candle it’s was on sale for a really good price. I usually don’t buy candles that often even though I love them, because they can be really expensive but the sale price for this made it worth it. I also thought the glass part was really pretty, I like the color and style. This candle has a nice, classic, Christmas tree scent which is one of my favorite smells. It’s very subtle, but still noticeable enough to make a whole room smell nicer. 

Target

  

Camel Colored Knit Cardigan- on sale for $20

   
 
Black Velvet Detail Tank Top- $20

The first picture is more accurate to the color of the garment, and in the second picture I had the flash on to depict the pattern more clearly. I thought that this was a really unique item of clothing and I have never seen something like this before. I think this would be great for layering under a cardigan like the one above. It also came in a maroon shade, and it was kind of hard for me to choose between the two but I wear black way more often plus it matches more, so I went for the black one. 

  
Black, Gray, and Red Sweater Dress- $25

Before this, I didn’t own any sweater dresses but I thought they were really adorable and versatile for winter, so I went ahead and bought this one. I like how this one is pretty long compared to others I’ve seen. It comes about mid thigh and it’s super thick and warm, perfect with tights and boots on a cold winter day. 

   
 
True Love Candle- $3

This is one of the candles that Target had in their dollar section. I believe that it came out as a Valentine’s Day candle. It also has a subtle fragrance. It smells fresh, but in a girly way. 

Bath and Body Works

  

Peppermint Marshmallow Candle- on sale for $8

I only got this one thing at Bath and Body Works because on the day I went, they had just gotten their new stuff in so there wasn’t much of a sale. However, they had a small sale area where I found this candle. I think the red bumpy glass container for this candle is very pretty and decorative. The name is pretty self explainitory, because this candle perfectly embodies the scents of peppermint and marshmallows. This is a perfect holiday candle. 

Sephora

  

Too Faced Melted Liquid Lipstick in Melted Ruby- around $23

I don’t typically shop in Sephora, just because I don’t have a job so I don’t usually have enough money to buy any products from there. I went in just to look but when I saw these I knew I had to get one. I hear and see great things about the Melted Liquid Lipsticks all of the time, so I wanted to see just how great they are. (Even when I was in the store another customer recommended them to me!) The color is beautiful. If you want to reach the color of the tube and box, you would have to layer the product a bit but it’s beautiful either way. It has incredible staying power. I wore it to school on a day that my lips were a bit dry, and it didn’t dry my lips or any more which is great. I removed it before eating just in case because I didn’t know if it would stay on, or possibly stain my skin or what. I still have to test it some more to see if it does stay on while eating, etc but this is definitely highly recommended from me. 

Forever 21

  

Emerald Green V Neck Sweater- $20

This sweater has a gorgeous color. I bought it a couple sizes too large because it was the last one and I like my sweaters to be oversized, so the neckline goes kind of deep but it’s fine if I layer a shirt underneath. It’s very thick and soft, great for a casual day at home or a cold day out. 

  
Light Aquamarine Faux Suede Skirt- $15

I saw a lot of suede skirts in Forever 21, but I loved this one because I thought the shade of blue-green was very unique. This skirt is good for if you want to be a little bit dressier but not too much. I already have a brown faux suede skirt but that one had buttons down the front so I thought it would be nice to have some variety. 

  
Black Floral Pencil Skirt- $16

This skirt is pretty formal looking. It would probably be good to wear to work if you have a job. I like the vintage sort of feel it has. 

  
Black Long Sleeved Chiffon Shift Dress with Yellow and Orange Flowers- $18

I absolutely adore this dress! It’s another item that has a sort of vintage vibe to it. It’s very flowy and loose, and I love the long sleeves because most dresses are short sleeved. I think this looks cute paired with black tights and combat boots for an edgy twist. 

That’s all for today’s post. I hope you guys liked it, and see you next time! 

5 Winter Outfit Ideas ❄️

Hello everyone! I haven’t done an outfits post in a while, so I thought I’d share one with you guys today. Here are some ideas for winter outfits. Of course you can try to replicate them, or give them your own personal twist. Here they are!

Outfit 1:

   

   
Fuzzy Thick Pale Grey Sweater: Kohls, on sale for $25

High Waisted Pink Jeans: Charlotte Russe, $35

Black Quilted Knee-High Boots: Target, $35

I think is a pretty simple outfit, with a cute girly touch to it. This sweater is super soft and surprisingly thick, so it’s great for wintertime. I am also obsessed with these boots! I’ve worn them nearly everyday since it started getting colder. Also, they’re really cute and I got them for a great price. 

Outfit 2:

   

 
Mottled Green Mock-Neck Long-Sleeved Thin Sweater: TJ Maxx, $8

Camel Faux Suede Button-Up Skirt: JCPenney’s, $30

Black Tights: Target, $5

Shiny Black Combat Boots: Kohls, on sale for $16

This outfit has a really nice vintage vibe to it, especially with that skirt. The black tights and combat boots give it a bit more edginess. This is definitely an outfit for warmer winter weather, but if it is colder you can always add a leather jacket to spice it up a little and stay warmer. 

Outfit 3:

  

Blue and Red Plaid Crop Top With 3/4 Sleeves: Forever 21, $8

Black Faux Leather Jacket: TJ Maxx, $16

Black Sweater Skirt: Kohls, $30

Black Bow Tights: Loft, $10

Black Combat Boots: same as above

In case you can’t tell, I really love the combo of tights and a skirt with either a sweater or a top and a jacket. This is another more edgy outfit, but the bow tights give it a girly twist. I also think this skirt is awesome because it’s thick knit like a sweater so it’ll protect your legs if they get cold. 

Outfit 4:

  

Black Jeweled Sweater: Kohls, on sale for $25

Jeans: Charlotte Russe, $25

Boots: Same as outfit 1

This is another simple variation of the first outfit, just a sweater with jeans and boots. I really love they sweater because the jewels make it look nice and sophisticated, and you don’t even have to wear jewelry because it already has enough bling. 

Outfit 5:

  

Grey Knit Midi Dress: TJ Maxx, $15

Black Tights: Same as outfit 2

Black Lace-Back Sweater: Papaya, $10

Black Combat Boots: same as outfits  2 and 3

This outfit is a little more dressed up, and the combat boots make it a little more edgy.  But I definitely needed that sweater since this dress is short sleeved. 

That’s all for today’s post. I hope these outfits inspired you, and I hope you try some of them out. See you next time!

Fall 2015 Fashion Trends

Hey guys! So lately, I’ve been noticing a few key items that are very trendy this season on social media. I’d like to share them with you so you have some basic fall essentials. (All pictures were found in either Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook, they’re not my own) Let’s get started! 
Trend #1- Long Tan Coats

   

    
 
I think this is an extremely versatile item. You can wear it during fall and winter, and it’s easy to match with due to its neutral color. 

Trend #2- Lace-Up Items

   

    
 
This trend has been everywhere lately! I’ve seen it mostly on loose, float tops and dresses, but it’s also popular with shoes. I think it’s very cute and boho. 

Trend #3- Plaid Scarves

   

   
Plaid is a very stylish pattern this season, and other than with flannel shirts, it’s been very prominent in scarves. It’s a great way to stay stylish and warm. 

Trend #4- Dressing Up Ripped Jeans

   

    
 
Ripped or Distressed Jeans tend to come off as very casual pants, but when done the right way, they can be dressed up for many occasions. 

Trend #5- Button Up Skirts

   

   
You’ve already seen one of these in one of the other pictures, that’s how popular they are. Depending on the material, these can give off a vintage 70’s or 90’s vibe. I think this is a great way to modernize older fashions. It also looks very pretty. 




That’s all for today’s post. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time! 

Back to School Mini-Haul| Clothes + Makeup

Hey everybody! Sorry I haven’t posted for a while. I had a post ready for last Saturday or Tuesday but I couldn’t finish it because I had a YouTube video I made but it took too long to upload. So I haven’t posted in quite some time. Anyways, since I’ve started school, I’ve been very busy and I’ve been thinking about only posting once a week, probably on Saturdays. I want you guys to know that I will be extremely invested in my blog, I just need some time to get other things done. Now I went back to school shopping today and I wanted to show you guys what I got. I didn’t get that much, just some things that are school appropriate and things that I needed, but I thought that I should show you anyways. Let’s get started! 

CVS Pharmacy

This may seem like a weird place to shop, but this is where I get most, if not all, of my makeup. It’s affordable and they have a wide selection of brands and beauty products. 

  
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, $10

Sorry about the lighting in this picture, it’s kind of weird but the mascara bottle is metallic light pink.  Anyways, I got this mascara because Maybelline has some of the best mascaras I’ve ever used, and I’ve heard lots of good things about this one plus I don’t like large mascara brushes, and this brush looked nice for me. Another great thing is that this is a volumizing mascara, which is something I love. 

  
I had a coupon for a free Elf cosmetics product with a value of three dollars or less, so I got this brush for free. I got this for my liquid foundation, so it’s easier for me to apply rather than using my fingers. I also went for this one because Elf products are extremely cheap and reliable. 

  
Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Stick in Make a Mauve, $10

I got this because I love this color for the fall time. I’m not sure if it will look great on my skin since I’m kind of pale, but it’s something new for me to try out. Also, I feel like I need to try out new products so I can see what I like, and I figured that since I’ve never tried anything like this, I could find my new favorite thing. 

   
 
Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection lipstick shade 80, around $8

This lipstick was something that I pinned on Pinterest quite a few months ago because I thought that it would be a nice pink-nude color for me. It is very nice, more pink than nude, but it works on me. 

Loft

Loft is a bit more grownup and expensive than where I usually shop, but they have nice things there, so I got just a couple things this time. 

   
 
Gold Rose Quartz Necklace, $35

This is a very nice necklace. It has a small part that has some little gold “dots” that goes over the collarbone area, and then has some chains that hang down over the chest/upper stomach area. It’s a great way to dress up an outfit or give it a bit of spice. 

  
Black Floral Cami, $25 (Buy one get one free)

I thought this would be cute for school under a little cardigan or something for warmer fall weather. I mostly got it because these were buy one get one free, and my grandma got a different one for free. 

Charlotte Russe

I like some things from this store, but I absolutely love their denim. Each pair of jeans is generally around $35, but I wait until they have a sale to buy some. 
  
Pale Pink High Waisted Jeans, $35

(Buy one get one for $12.50 all denim)

Sorry for the lighting in this picture, for some reason it got weird but these jeans are much lighter in real life than in this picture. I got these because I saw my friend wearing a really cute pair of jeans colored similarly to this, so I wanted these. I wanted them to be regular jeans and not high waisted, but these were the only ones they had. 

  
“Push Up” Legging Jeans

Since they had a sale, I got these for pretty much half off. I needed mor plain blue jeans, and these fit nicely with a little bit of growing  room. I think that these are push up for your butt to make it look better, but that doesn’t really matter to me because it’s hard for me to find good fitting jeans anyways. 

Papaya Clothing

I love this store because their clothes are super cheap but very  good quality. 
  
Pink Lace Back Cardigan, $13

Again, sorry for my weird lighting today. This is not this shade of pink but it’s close enough. I got this from the last chance rack, it was the last item. I got this because I thought it would  be cute to put over a dress or something that isn’t quite school compliant so I can wear it to school. 

  
Cropped Gray Black Mesh Stripe Sleeve Sweatshirt, $11

This is another item I got form the last canned rack. It was the last item too. It is a couple sizes too big for me, so it’s not as cropped as it’s supposed to be, but it’s still cropped. I like the slightly athletic look. 

  
Brooklyn athletic super soft 3/4 sleeves shirt, $16

To be honest, this is not something I would normally wear. But once I felt how soft it is, I fell in love.  This is way softer than a lot of sweaters and even blankets that I’ve ever felt. The only reason I bought this was because of how soft it is.  I think this will keep me really warm during fall time. 

  
Cropped Thin Red Sweater, $13

I like how simple and nice this piece is. This is easy to match with in fall and winter. They had a couple of other colors like gray and white, but most of my closet is gray, black, and white, so I thought I would try a little more color. 

That’s all for today’s post. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I’ll see you next time! 

5 Back to School Outfits

Hey guys! Since most of you have already started school, or are very close to starting (I can’t believe I only have one week of summer left!), I decided for my post today, to do one with outfits for back to school. I made these outfits so that they are appropriate for my school’s dress code, but you can adjust them how you wish. I think all of these outfits are good ideas for the first day of school, or if you want to dress up a bit more. I hope these outfits inspire you for back to school. Let’s get right into the post.

Outfit #1

IMG_4129

Yellow Chevron Textured Mock-neck Crop Top- Kmart, $15

Beige and Maroon Floral Hooded Cardigan- Kmart, $23

Ripped Knee Light Wash Jeans- Charlotte Russe, $35

Sperry Boat Shoes- Ross, $45

I love how cute and casual this outfit is. It’s very modern and stylish. When I saw this top in the store, I really wanted it even though they didn’t have my size, so I just got the smallest one. That’s why the top isn’t really cropped on me, even though its a crop top. I think these are very nice colors for transitioning into fall from summer, and the sweater is nice if it’s a little chilly inside your school.

Outfit #2

IMG_4150

IMG_4151

Sheer Floral Peasant Top- JCPenney’s, $34

Brown Faux Suede Button-Up Skirt- JCPenney’s, $30

Floral Socks- Target, $5

Brown Lace Up Ankle Boots- Target, $25

This outfit is very 70’s inspired. This type of look is going to be very trendy in the fall. I’ve seen lots of people wearing button up skirts like this, but I’ve seen denim ones and I don’t really like denim skirts but this faux suede one is super soft and versatile. I think this outfit is very girly and pretty if you feel like dressing up a bit more. This is personally my favorite outfit from this post. I really think the socks add a nice touch. They’re kind of scalloped at the top so it’s even more girly.  I think the top and skirt pair very well together, but the top is super flowy and it covered the top of the skirt, but I wanted to show off the skirt so I just tucked in the top.

Outfit #3

IMG_4165

Gray Knit T-Shirt Dress- TJ Maxx, $17

Black Studded Gladiator Sandals- Steinmart, $35

This dress is super comfortable. It’s easy to throw on if you’re in a rush. I love how it falls below the knees so you can’t get in trouble for it being too short. It’s also kind of loose so it won’t get you in trouble for it being too tight either. Another great thing id you can wear this when it starts getting colder. You can just add some cute tights, combat boots, and a leather jacket to make an edgy look for cooler weather.

Outfit #4

IMG_4166 IMG_4081

Striped Long Sleeved Shirt- Sears, $12

Plaid Flannel Button Up Shirt- Marshalls, $15

Black Skinny Jeans- Ross, $13

Black and White Nike Free Runs- Nike Outlet, $75

This is definitely a more casual outfit. This is something I might wear if I have gym, or I don’t feel like dressing up much, but I still want to look cool. I’ve seen the striped t-shirt under a plaid flannel all over Pinterest and Instagram, and I think it’s an effortless way to look stylish.

Outfit #5

IMG_4167

Red Jacket with Shoulder Pads- Macy’s, $24 on sale

Black and Cream Sheer Grid T-shirt- Ross, $10

Light Acid Wash High-Waisted Jeans- Charlotte Russe, $35

Black Combat Boots- Kohl’s, $16 on sale

I think this is a very nice feminine, sophisticated looking outfit. I love how the combat boots give this an edgy kick. This would look really nice with a cute statement necklace, and you could always exchange the boots for some black flats. I’ll probably wear this outfit to my school’s open house so I can hopefully make a good first impression on my teachers.

That’s all for today’s post! I hope you guys were inspired by my outfits for some of your own. I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time!

Books

Ashes Trilogy by Ilsa J. Bick (includes Ashes, Shadows, and Monsters)

These books are great. They’re pretty long, so I’m only going to type the summary for the first one but if it sounds interesting to you, you should definitely read all three books.

Ashes Summary:

An electromagnetic pulse flashes across the sky, destroying every electronic device, wiping out every computerized system, and killing billions. Alex hiked into the woods to say goodbye to her dead parents and her personal demons. Now desperate to find out what happened after the pulse crashed her to the ground, Alex meets up with Tom- a young soldier- and Ellie, a girl whose grandfather was killed by the EMP. For this improvised family and the others who are spared, it’s now a question of who can be trusted and who is no longer human.

Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick

Summary:

Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn’t prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin and accept the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants- but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage. In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. Things get even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that took place on that very mountain- a discovery that may make her the killer’s next target. But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. Is he an enemy or an ally?

Beauty

IMG_4084 IMG_4086

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Milan

I was a little skeptical of this at first because I don’t like Nyx’s lipsticks, but I heard lots of great things about this, and they were right, this is amazing! I was going for a mauvey- pink color when I chose this, and the color of the tube led me to believe it was the right color. However, the actual color of the cream is a bright pink, which is not bad (I actually think this color is one that works best on me), but I wish they tried to match the color of the tube to the product a little better. With that aside, I absolutely adore this! The color is very pigmented, and it goes on smoothly. It takes a bit longer to dry than I thought it would, but this is not a problem for me. Just be careful so you don’t smudge it. The color is also very long-lasting, and has a great matte texture. It is also extremely cheap ($3!) and you can get it in a drugstore. I would recommend this to everyone who wants something nice and matte.

IMG_4091

Elf Poreless Face Primer

I think this face primer works very well. It basically sucks the moisture/oil out of your face, which is great if you have moderately- very oily skin. it makes your skin look less shiny and more matte after you apply foundation. This also makes your face have a more flat surface, so if you have acne you want to cover up, it helps to conceal a little more. This is pretty powerful, so if you use it, only put a very small amount on your finger and apply it where needed. This was also very cheap, only $6.

Fashion

IMG_4081

Black And White Nike Free Runs

These shoes are so comfortable! I think they’ll be great for gym class when I start school, or walking my dog. I’ve also been into more minimalistic/simple shoes lately, so I just picked up these black and white ones. These will also match a lot of my outfits.

IMG_4088 IMG_3627

Gold Heart- Shaped Sunglasses: TJ Maxx, $12

I love how cute these are! They are great for just in the car, out in public, or a day at the beach.

Others

App- Songza

songza songzam

The picture on the right is the app’s image, and the one on the right is an example of what I’ll be talking about below. This is a really cool music app. Based on the time of day, it will show some options for what you may be doing. You select one, and then pick the type of music you’d like to listen to, and it will give you a station full of different songs. For instance, right now I could pick one that says “working out” and then I could select the type of music ( like pop, rap, indie, etc.) and then pick a station I think I would like. This is probably something I would use a lot this school year, because I like to play music when I’m getting ready. Another great thing is, this app is free.

That’s all for my August favorites! I hope you guys try some of this stuff out. I hope you enjoyed this post, and I’ll see you next time! (also, just a side note- I’m doing a back to school post on Tuesday, so stay tuned for that!)

Pinterest Summer Fashion Trends You Need to Try Out

Hey everybody! Today I’m going to show you guys some current Pinterest summer fashion trends that I see all the time. I hope you guys try them out! 
1) Matching Crop Top Sets

   


I think this is a really cute trend for the summertime. This is something that can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion. 

2) Crop Top+ Floral Kimono or Sweater

   

 

This is a more girly looking trend, but still very nice. I typically see these flowery kimonos with a plain colored tank top. I think it adds another dimension to the outfit and spices it up a bit. 

3) Flannel/Plaid Shirt Over a Summer Outfit

   


I think this is a really cool way to use part of your fall wardrobe in a summer outfit. The plaid adds sort of a grungy vibe to your outfit, and it can keep you warm if you live in a cooler climate as well. 

4) Loose Tank Top Dresses

   

 

I see these all the time, and I think they’re a really great way to stay cool during the summer while still looking pretty. 

5) Plain Swinsuits With Back Detailing

   

 

These bathing suits are super popular right now, and they look so adorable! The details give more interest to the plain colors, and I’m sure it would lead to interesting tan lines as well. 😉

6) Crystal Necklaces

   


I think these necklaces look really cool, and I’m obsessed with them. I think they’re really boho and natural looking, and super easy to style. 

That’s all for the Pinterest Summer Fashion Trends! Here’s the link to my Pinterest if you want to give me a follow:

 

I hope you guys enjoyed his post, and see you next time! 

Summer Haul 2015🌞

Hello guys! I have been accumulating lots of clothing so I could do a haul post, and now I have enough so I’ll show you everything I got. Let’s get started! 

Ross
  

   
 Sperry Boat Shoes- $40
A lot of people my age have these, so I wanted to try them out but the originals are $60 and I think that’s a lot to pay for a pair of shoes. So I saw these in Ross and I tried them on. These are so comfortable and they’re nice for walking. I knew that even at $40, it would be worth it. 
  

 Blue and White Patterned Pants- $8
These are so cool and boho-looking! When I first saw these, I was skeptical about them because I thought that I might not wear them. But once I felt them, I knew I had to get them. These are super soft, and when you wear them it’s like you’re wearing pajama pants all day. Also, these pants do not overheat you so you can wear them even on hot summer days. 
   
 
  Blue and white “we live by the sun, we feel by the moon” tank top-$12
I mainly got this tank top to match the pants above since I don’t really have anything that matches them. But this is a very cute tank top so I know I can wear it with other things. 
   
   
    Black tie-back crochet bottom tank top- $10
This is a nice, kind of thin tank top that is great for summer. I wouldn’t normally wear dark colors in the summer time but I thought the crochet detailing at the bottom of this was super pretty. 
  

 Black crop top- $6
This is just a simple black crop top. I needed one of these since I don’t have very many plain-colored shirts and I wanted something like this to wear with the skirts I have. Plus the fabric of this is soft and thin so I won’t get overheated in the summer. 
   
 
 

Pink sheer scalloped tank top- $10
When I first saw this, I loved the color of it but I wasn’t really looking for anything like this. Then I saw the scalloped details on the bottom and back, and I am obsessed. I don’t know why, but I think scalloping looks really cool. 
   
 
 
 Black and Bronze Patterned Pants- $6

I mainly got these because I loved the blue and white pants so much. (Same with the next pair of pants) But the color scheme of this is cool looking, plus I love the pattern. 
  

     

 
 Navy and Dark Pink Patterned Pants- $6
I really like the colors in these pants too, and the stripes are cool. 

TJ Maxx
  

     
Black Large Flower Lace Skirt- $15

I got this skirt because I don’t have any skirts that I can wear to more formal events, and I don’t want to wear dresses all the time or to have to wear black pants during the summer time. 

  
 

Blue Bodycon Skirt- $7

This was kind of an impulse buy for me, but I love this blue color. Also I think this looks very vintage and 80’s inspired and the 80’s is one of my favorite decades. 
  

 Black sheer cutout shirt- $13 
This shirt has sheer sleeves, and a slight sheer v-neck, as well as a sheer stripe at the bottom. I really like types of clothing with interesting features like this. 

  

 Heathered Gray Oversized T-Shirt- $7

I mainly got this so I would have something to match with the blue skirt, but I think this would look cute on a more casual day too. 

Kohl’s
   

    
Black Caged Back Bralette- $10

I love bralettes this time of year. I think they look cute under sheer tops or tops with thin straps that you can’t wear a normal bra with. Also, I think the back detail on this bralette is so cool looking. 
  

 Black-trimmed gray t-shirt- $5
Like I said before, I need more simple shirts, so I grabbed this one because it was cheap, and I wear these colors often. 

Kmart

  
 

Tropical Hawaii Crop Top- $15

I stopped in Kmart really quickly, so this is the only thing I got. I had seen this previously, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted it. But this time, since I am obsessed with tropical prints, I had to get it. Also, I think it looks like something you would see on Tumblr. 

That’s all for this haul! I hope you guys enjoyed it. Comment down below if you guys would like a part two to this summer haul. See you next time!
