Summer's been over?! My favorite #OOTD.

I try to dress cute often.
It's hard to choose because I have plenty of favorite outfits.
This outfit was worn near the end of my summer vacation.
I chose this one because I received many compliments on it!
Pictures are below.

I got those rainboots in the background for less than $13 at Macy's in Cinci!
I have a new phone case as well!
Fun Fact: You see those Xbox 360 games on the floor? 
The one closest to the bottom costs more than everything I'm wearing in the picture.

The top is a dark chambray, peplum tank. I got it from Charlotte Russe. It was only $4! 
The jeans are Bullhead Denim Co Solid Colored Skinnies in Dark Coral. I found them at TJMaxx a few months ago. They were only $10!
The shoes are a pair of "Parade Tribal Print" BCBG flats with a dark coral lining. I bought them at Dillard's over the summer with a 65% off discount!
I painted my nails a shiny gold color and wore gold & pearl dangling earring I bought from Claire's a long time ago.

This outfit went perfectly with the purse my Momsy was kind enough to give to me.

Dooney & Bourke "Leather Happy Bag"
(Apparently, these can be found in many colors!
My mom bought this one earlier this year).

The white watch I wore was from Meijer. I bought it at 1 in the morning. (That was irrelevant). 

I really enjoy making blog posts like this one.
I'm a very thrifty person and I hate over-paying for things.

Even though my school has uniforms, I still think my personality shows through my accessories.
Of course, I always get these accessories on sale.

I love sales.

Until the next post,

I Tried to Stripe My Lawn?

          The neighbors that are behind us always seem obsessed with their lawn. I really feel like they mow their lawn every other day just to keep it perfect. The cliché saying "the grass is always greener or the other side" fits them perfectly. 

          I'm an amateur lawn mower. I only mow when my parents ask me to. A couple days ago, Momsy said the lawn needed mowing again. It felt like it had only been a week since I mowed it. Whatever. I mowed it anyway. This time, however, I didn't do the boring vertical lines Popsy always does when he mows the lawn. I mowed it diagonally. (This was, of course, after I spent half an hour on YouTube watching videos of people "striping" their lawns.) 

          I didn't really think this would work, but it didn't turn out too bad. If you look really closely and squint your eyes a bit, you can kind of tell. I looked ridiculous trying to do this, but I think it was worth it. I'm also secretly hoping our neighbors see it. Maybe they'll be impressed. Yeah, probably not. I also got too excited and thought I somehow became a landscaper, so I also edged the sidewalks. The edging was actually really difficult and I do not plan to do that ever again. My arms and shoulders still feel funny. Boo. 

          According to one of Justin Bieber's songs, "...the grass ain't always greener on the other side; it's green where you water it." I like my lawn better than my neighbors. Even though there's absolutely nothing in it.
