Score!

I cannot even believe,

I can't

Just

What.

So I went to a Her Campus KU'+TeenVogue giveaway with a couple friends, lured by pictures of clothes and the words "Jimmy Choo".

Well I did not grab any "Chimmy's" BUT... after an hour I did manage to strut away with a stellar item. Fo' free!

Week in Review

As a college frosh I didn't really know whether or not I would have the free-time everyone seems to have...

Luckily for me I've yet to fall impossibly behind

-knock on wood!-

Somewhere somehow I found time to shop at Gap (yea I know I know what am I doing shopping when I could be studying!) but that's for later.

On your left is one fold, which I ended up not really liking since it had the seam and it got HOT. Stayed with the double fold seen on your right!

 

 These paanttsss are sooooo coommfffyy! They're very red-orange and so much fun for autumn. I'm stoked at their length; perfect full, ankle, anything

And finally a 'business casual' interview. Yes, I've resorted to bathroom shots... let's lament together after I resolve this issue!

What I Wore and Ate

Is it obvious I don't iron?

BTW my fave colour's pink!

Whoever said "No White after Labor Day" is wrong!

I know Ramen's not healthy, but it's yummy and I put veggies and an egg in it!

Plato's Closet

I've made it a mission to visit my favorite stores while here, and my first stop yesterday was to an Antique Mall, then straight to Plato's Closet. I was lucky enough to have a friend drive, and even luckier that on Game Day Plato's gives 15% off school gear.

But in even better news, with a valid student ID you get 15% off all items. Here's a moment where being a student is wonderful!

I spent most of the day sweating my face off, which is fine considering that was my exercise. 

For the whole week.

Even now I think about these vintage Chinese Laundrys! The heel shape and Mary-Jane style is so charming, I can't believe they didn't immediately leave with me. Perfect fit and so 'Clueless' I'm looking for a chance to go back and snatch them up!

Made it to Plato's Closet and tried on a million things. The selection was relatively large, and this dress made it amongst my favorites. However I couldn't make up my mind about it... so instead I bought:

All the detail and SCALLOPED BOTTOM I couldn't NOT take this back with me... !

Cynthia Rowley top, Victoria's Secret PINK leggings, University of Kansas t-shirt

Each item was less than $6, what was I supposed to do? I think it a rarity I only left with these three items!

Outfit + Food

I wore this:

Shirt: Lauren by Ralph Lauren; Shorts: Old Navy (old); Shoes: St. John's Bay via JC Penney

Then ate this!

Penne Arrabbiata from Trader Joe's, shrimp and mozzarella cheese.

'Twas 84º...

and FIIINALLY the temperature has cooled down! Following a week of 100s, I think today was well-deserved.

Also, if it could just be like this everyday, that'd be great.

I almost threw a meme in here but decided this picture would be even better:

You just never know what you're going to find when thrifting! I'd say this is a downside (only because I'm not too keen on wearing Pop-tarts) but the upside is a potential J.Crew cutie:

The blue Maritime dress from J.Crew is from a couple years ago, yet I still find it very relevant. Can't wait to wear it for spring, and autumn!

Since I came home for the weekend, my mother and I picked up another score:
