Aloha!
Wow I haven't said that in the longest!
Well, its nice to be back I really did miss blogging. I feel like this blog has breaded itself into me, this blog is my adorable little cyber baby and I just love it! This month I actually LOVE quite a few things so if you see a series of explanation marks in this post don't be fazed.
I don't know if you can tell, but this is another one of my uniform post ( I know I do a great job of concealing my uniform *hairflick* its a gift) and I hope these give you inspiration on how you can and a bit of flavor to your prison clothes ( lol, I mean school uniform)! 
This morning I was having one of those mini heart attacks, you know when you catch the 'I don't have anything to wear' syndrome, and I couldn't find anything to wear. So I literally went through my entire wardrobe and unearthed my lovely skirt! I decided to use this as my base and added those quirky taco socks you see me attempting to jump in. Then, I folded over my combat boots to showcase the vocal point of my outfit. This was completely unplanned, but I love how my plaid scarf kinda sorta matches the rim of my socks and my trench coat pairs nicely with my boots. To be honest once I put all those layers on I wasn't even hot and it was 74 degrees outside. Maybe since I was determined to wear this getup I just completely ignored the heat and everyone who asked me if I was secretly melting in all my layers.
I really want to give myself a pat on the back because I was one of the few people who discovered that wonderful indie pop singer Lorde before anyone could start singing 'Royals', her most popular song. I mean it was quite evident because I would walk the halls singing 'Biting Down', at lunch burst out singing 'Royals' and in the car sing, my favorite song by her, 'Swingin Party'!! I really love Lorde her sound is sick and I think you should give her a listen!! Pweeaasseee, for me!! Oh, to start you off check out Royals I think you'll be spitting her lyrics as often as I do!

Farewell for now my fashion forward munchkins!

Reggie Bush and I
OMG!!
 Wait... what
No it couldn't be?!?
Yes your eyes aren't deceiving you its my first day of school outfit and school supplies post, HOORAY! My first day of school was pretty exciting mainly because I met a celebrity, got Chipotle, and the weather was so nice. Usually something eventful always occurs on the first day of school for me (I guess I'm just that cool am I right or am I right!) and this year I met Reggie Bush, a football player for the Detroit Lions. While I was chowing down on my Chipotle this mega buff guy walks in and my dad's eyes legit light up and he demands me to go take a picture with this man. So I'm trying to get all the food out of my braces while Reggie Bush is ordering his chicken burrito (don't ask me why I remembered his order) I walk up to him and I poke his bicep (yes it was rock hard) asking him if I could take a picture, pretty sure I still had food in my teeth too. Of course he says yes because who wouldn't want to take a picture with me and my sisters were so jealous! So their we have it I met my first celerity and touched someone who dated a Kardashian. WOOT WOOT!

Now on to my outfit, since it was rather warm I rolled up my school pants and they transformed into capris. On top I wore my white eyelet lacey blouse over my school shirt with my oh so famous Betsy Johnson necklace and a couple more accessories.

Lastly, I wanted to share with you what's in my backpack! I basically have the standards: notebook, folders, planner, and pencils all of these are a necessities for basically everyone. Though, this year I'm in eighth grade so I need to stay extra organized because I'm going to be testing a lot, studying, and blogging of course. Planners help out with balancing a schedule for those super busy chicas, I think they are a wise thing to invest in or just a simple journal that you can write important dates in. I know everyone loves their school supplies to be interesting and a really cheap way to do that is by ripping out little pictures from old magazines and pasting them to your classic composition. This is also a really fun craft to do with friends or by yourself either way customizing your notebook is a super easy DIY that anyone can do. When I have "free time" at school I usually read a book or listen to music. I'm not allowed to pull out headphones in the middle of class,but at lunch or after school  you could definitely whip out those bad boys. I also love EOS Lip Balms they're really good for moisturizing your lips and who wouldn't want all their classmates thinking that you're rubbing a colorful egg on your lips! Well, this concludes my Back to School post I'll probably make another because I wear uniforms more often than regular clothes during this time of year.

Farewell for now my fashion forward munchkins!
