HAUL: Back to School | Basics

Hey Everyone!
Yesterday I went back to school shopping for just some basic things. I got seven things total. For the disclaimer, my mom did buy my back to school clothing, and I bought the unrelated clothing purchase. I am not trying to brag at all!! As the next few months go on, I will be adding. For instance, Tuesday I'm going to go get a pair of flats, because the pair I have broke, and the other pair are too uncomfortable to wear to school all day. Anyways, let's get started!

First from Abercrombie & Fitch, I got three of the Bridget Tank in Navy, White, and Light Gray. Although, I got the light gray in the wrong size so I will have to exchange it. This are great to layer with!

 

Next from Abercrombie and Fitch, I got Brittan Sweater in White. Again, great for layering, and this way you can throw it over any summer tops and have it look right for Fall.



Then from Hollister I got the Balboa Island Top in Navy with White Dots.

And then I got San Pedro Bay Top in Navy.

Lastly from Sephora I got a Korres Lip Butter in Quince.

Hope you enjoyed!

Back to School: My Top 3 Body Mists/Perfumes

Hey Girls!
So this post that I'm doing today can be non back-to-school related, but these top three scents are what I will most likely be wearing, and I recommend them all!

1. Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck Perfume-It's a sweet, fruity scent, and has an almost vanilla smell to it. It's perfect for everyday school wear, well... all of these are.
2. Victoria Secret's PINK Soft & Dreamy Body Mist-This scent is a great nighttime scent. Not like 'going out' but literally it makes me feel sleepy. I don't know if I do this to reflect my mood or if it's just a coincidence, but I always wear this when I'm tired. It's warm sweet scent that kind of reminds me of marshmallows and whipped cream.
3. B&BW Sweet Pea Fragrance Mist-This is one of B&BW's most bought scents, so you might know what it smells like. It's a fruity floral and it smells really nice. This is also similar to PINK's Pretty & Pure scent, although that one has more of a (PINK's) Fresh & Clean scent to it, which I like, but I prefer Sweet Pea.

Let me know if you have any of this scents and what you think of them!

Back to School: First Day Outfit Tips

Hey Girls!
So I was planning on writing a good post today, but I had a sleepover with my friend last night, so I am very tired. Unfortunately, that post is going to have to wait. But in the meantime, I have some tips to help you out on deciding what you should wear on your first day.

     1. Wear something comfortable, cute, and you!
The first day of school is important, but personally, I don't think you need to dress up for the first day. My first tip is to wear something that's comfortable, cute, and you! You are probably going to be even the slightest bit nervous for the first day (just admit it ;)) so you want to wear something comfortable, that maybe you've worn before. Also, the cute part is kind of obvious. Who doesn't want to look cute? You never know, someone may ask where you got something-BOOM friendship initiation. (Or as Harry puts it in the sixth movie "Poof". Comment if you remember that part :)) Furthermore, you just want to be yourself. 
     2. Dress it up
Like I said, I don't think you need to dress up on the first day of school because, sure it's important, but I mean, it's just school. My recommendation to you is to dress it up a little bit. Maybe instead of stud earrings wear dangly earrings or put on bracelets, curl your hair, etc.
     3. Wear something makes makes you feel confident
Everyone is in the same boat on the first day. (That would be kinda cool if I meant that literally.) So you might be nervous, most likely. If you wear something that makes you feel happy and confident, people will want to get to know you. I don't think I need to explain further. :)
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed those tips! Talk to you soon guys! -Kait
