Obsession...

So I know that jeans would be the logical bottom to buy for back to school, but I'm totaly obsessed with skirts at the moment, since I already about all the jeans in the world and pairing a cute shirt with jeans everyday can get kind of old so I thought I needed something different on the bottom...

Its seems that every back to school season I get obsessed with one piece of an outfit and last year it was jeans, but this year I have this crazy obsession with skirts and I just went on a shopping spree and by far Foverever 21 had the best selection for skirts. They had so much varitey in the colors, patterns, shapes, and they were very reasonably priced. The most expensive one I got was only $14.80. Skirts are soooo versitle you can dress them up or down, wear them during the day or night, plus they can work for all seasons, and not to mention they have the cool girl style. I went from having only 3 to having 13 for my back to school looks. Everyone knows that a good pair of jeans can be kind of pricey.. not the case with skirts you can find great ones for a great price. One place besides Forever 21 that I found had a nice selection of skirts was Plato's Closet its a resale shop so it does kind of depend on what they get for that season, but I found 3 really great ones there and one even still had the origonal F21 price tag on it.

Target had skirts on sale for only $10 this week so I was pumped well I went there today and I was not impressed. They were very thin and weren't very comfortable because of that. They showed off underwear lines and were just too stretchy. I didn't end up getting any, but they are having a great shoe sale going on right now everything is 30%- 50% off.. I got 2 pairs flats for $9 and wedges for $12.

July's Trends

Heres my Top 10 July 2011 picks from magazines, within the next month I'll be featuring theses trends in outfits of the day, and tutorials so come back to check them out...

1. Lacy... anything. but espically shorts. Lulus.com has some cute lace shorts and skirts this month.

2. Hats... either go small and cute like a fedora or huge and floppy. Check out Target or TJ Maxx.

3. Cutsey Hair Pieces... bows or clips. I've seen a few cute ones at Target, but it's better when you find them at random places they are just more unique that way.

4. Beatle Boots... Marie Claire (July 2011) had a page about them.They are obviously inspired by the beetles and they are a low cut boot. F21 has a few like the ones below.

5. Leapord Flats or Kitten Heels... totaly cute and chic plus comfortable. Check out F21.

6. Beachy Hair... is always in style for a cute summer look. I've seen some 2 prong curlers though I'm not really sure where to get a good one yet, I'm going to be on the look. I would guess a beauty store like Sally Hansen or maybe even Target or Walmart.

7. Funky Nails... Glamour (July 2011) had a really neat spread on them and how to do them.

8. Dressing for YOUR body type not all the trends... though trends are something that we should try to follow not all of them look good on everyones body and if one doesn't look good on you just try the next.

9. Looking at the mannequins for outfit advice... Glamour (July 2011) couldn't have been any more right, there should be no shame in it, it's what they are there for right?

10. Feebies/DIY... Facebook, Twitter, E-Mails, Websites all offer free coupons for trying a product all you have to do it like them or follow them. Do It Yourself a lot of magazines have a page or two about simple projects that are in trend for you to do at home.
