I Have Not Done my Hair in 3 Days. Frightening? Yes.

I hardly ever talk about clothes that I actually own on here, it's mostly things that I lust after or wish that I had bought instead of some other thing. So, here are a few things that I've recently bought and love.

I love underwear. A lot. I spend a ridiculous amount of money on underwear each year but never have I loved a pair as much as these. They're comfortable, my butt doesn't accidentally eat them. And, compared to the underwear that I usually buy, they're pretty affordable. $12.


Okay, so I don't own this yet and it isn't even the color I'm getting it in but who cares. I make up the rules, I can break them. I'm buying it tomorrow, it's on sale but I had literally no money in my wallet when I tried it on today. I'm also getting it in black. It's amazing, fits perfectly and who doesn't love a little crochet summer dress? Me and my friends are getting dressed up to have dinner one night this week, I shall be wearing this dress. $79.95.


I bought this the first weekend of summer break and have worn it 30000 times since. It's the perfect summer shirt, comfortable and I don't have to wear a bra with it.
Okay, this was a pointless post. I don't spend money during the summer. If this were say the middle of the school year I would have atleast 20 things to write about. Damn the heat for making me frugal.

The Week in Retrospect

This is what I remember from this past week:
1. Sleeping. a lot.
2. Managing to get a 96% on a paper about street children in Brazil despite the fact that I quoted Fight Club
3. I woman touring my school while wearing Apple Bottom jeans and an Apple Bottom jean jacket. I was kind of frightened.
4. Forever 21 has the best t-shirts. Hands down. Nice solid v-necks, very American Apparel but without the sketchy "do they or do they not have sweatshops?" controversy. You can basically garantee that Forever 21 has some sketchy labor practices.
5. Scheming to buy this shirt and take pictures with red dixie cups while wearing it, purely to rebel against the administration at my school and their sheisty crack-downs.
5. This is the alternative to the Hawaiian shirt. Don't ask. Okay, ask. My best friend's boyfriend has a thing for Hawaiian shirts. I may or may not have ripped one off of him and hid it in a ceiling tile. I want him to wear that American Apparel shirt.

I got an e-mail asking for "Summer French-boho clothes" in England (I think it was England, I accidentally deleted the e-mail so I'm just gonna go with Europe). Basically the only clothes I wear during the summer are French kinda boho (that or French whore). Which is just odd since that's not how I would describe my normal style, but I like it.

From Urban Europe. It's just a gorgeous dress, can be worn in loads of different ways for people of all different styles. I'm assuming it's cotton because, why would it not be? Apparently Europeans don't like product descriptions. £48.


85% of Free People's profits come from students at my school. It's a beautiful thing, just like this tank top (Oh goodness, that was awful). But, really, how could you not love that back detail? £32.


Topshop calls these hotpants. I'm so glad I'm not the only person still using that word. I refuse to wear them after a certain encounter with a homelessman disguised as a priest but I still appreciate them. Hotpants might not be boho, but seriously, these are basic. Boho it up. £28.

This summer I am working four jobs. I am a cashier at a local grocery store, ateaching assistant at an Elementary school, a cashier/seller at Borders Books Stores, and I babysit. None of these jobs require uniforms.
I need outfits I can wear that will look appropriate (especially the teaching assistant) at each job, as I work more than one per day.

Jean capris are your new best friends, the pair on the left are $231 at Shopbop. Probably out of your price-range, but you get the idea, well fitting and comfortable. Something like the Ernest Sewn Harlen Ankle Length Jean would work too, if you rolled them up at the bottom. Seriously, don't walk around looking like a tool. You can get less expensive capris, a lot like these at your mall. These are just a suggestion. I know I said that before, but some people don't actually read the entire post and I feel the need to repeat myself.
Please buy this shirt on the left. It's gorgeous, it'll look fab with jean capris. It's perfect. When you're teaching you can just wear it with a nice cream jacket but it's also perfect for hanging out. $58. Something like this will also work. Just buy comfortable, cotton tops that look nice but you can also layer with a light jacket for when you need to look a little bit more put together. If I actually bothere to get dressed in the summer this is what I would wear. Shoeswise? Black ballet flats and white open toed flats, hit up all the department stores near you.
