Summer Look Book Pt 4. Back to School

Hello my lovelies!

Look at me being consistent and posting again haha. 

Today is the last day of summer and I thought it would be the perfect time to post the last installment of my Summer Look Book series. But don't you worry there will be a new whack of fall fashion posts coming soon! I am so excited! I can finally start wearing my fabulous knitted sweaters, scarves and warm boots again. And I also cannot wait to update my wardrobe with some new items for fall and the up coming winter. I am getting off track now haha this post is still summery and for warmer weather but I hope you guys enjoy it and keep checking back for the first fall post!

Outfit # 1

When I was picking out my first day of school outfit I was wanting something that was summery, comfortable, cute and put together.

While I was shopping one day, on my trip to Ottawa, I spied the perfect clothing piece while browsing at Garage: a striped black and white, spaghetti strap, shift dress and the best part... It was on sale :) Don't you just love the feeling when you're shopping and you find the perfect clothing piece then find out that it's on sale, it's the cherry on top.

I paired the outfit together with a jean vest from American Eagle because it was slightly chilly the first day of school. For shoes, I wore a cute pair of wedges that I scored at my local Value Village that I think are totally 90's and fit perfectly with my everyday style. I've worn the wedges so many times since I got them they are awesome because sometimes I want to wear heels or wedges, because I'm on the shorter side haha, and but then I don't end up wearing them because they are so uncomfortable to wear all day, but these are the most comfortable wedges I own and I am so happy I found them.

For accessories I'm wearing my favorite sunglasses, that you have seen in a couple other posts haha, from American Eagle, a dainty bracelet , a basic silver ring and a crystal necklace that I purchased at a local market vendor and it looks super cute because it's slightly multicolored; I love it. Also I have my toe nails painted a periwinkle blue which is my favorite color. The brand of the nail polish is Essie and the color is called Bikini So Tiny.

Outfit #2

This outfit is one that I literally threw together in the morning before school when I was running a bit late. That morning was pretty hectic and this outfit along with my hair in the pictures was all a fluke that turned out looking awesome.

In the morning I curled my hair with my pearl or bubble curling wand and I think I curled my hair too much or something and I didn't like how poufy it was, so I experimented with what I could do with my hair. I tried putting it in a ponytail and a bun but I didn't want to have my hair up so a half up Ariana Grande style was the next best thing. 

And guess what?? It worked, didn't look half bad and saved my hair from being a disaster. So next time you're hair isn't co-operating just pull part of it up into a half up and Ta Da! Your hair is saved and looks cute :)

 In this outfit I am wearing many of my favorite clothing items and accessories. First favorite are these super comfy, versatile, go to, black and white hi top Vans that I purchased at a vintage store in the summer. They may look just black and white on the outside but there is a bit of cute leopard print on the inside which is awesome (you can kind of see the leopard print in the picture above).

 Second favorite is this yellow jacket (that is in most of these pictures) that I purchased in Europe during spring break at Forever 21. The mustard yellow color is perfect for me because I tend to wear a lot of black, whites and greys with not much color so the yellow really pops out whenever I wear it. One of the best things about this jacket is that it has huge pockets. I could probably put all the contents of my purse in the two pockets. No joke. I love the pockets. The only downside to this jacket is that it's very thin and I probably won't get to wear it for much longer because it's getting pretty cold lately.

Third favorite is this rainbow striped square neck tank from Brandy Melville. Brandy Melville is by far my favourite place to shop for basic tanks, tees, sweaters, hoodies, skirts, dresses, shorts, jewellery etc. . Yes, their clothing is a bit more on the pricier side but I get my money's worth because I wear the items I buy all the time like this tank top.

 

Fourth favorite are these "mom jeans" from American Apparel. They are that perfect color that goes with almost anything and they're awesome. I particularly like how great the blue of the jeans looks with my black and white Vans. 

 My fifth and final favorite is this hairstyle. When I first started doing my hair like this, to be honest, I didn't really like it but it grew on me. This half up Ariana Grande hairstyle is perfect when you want to have your hair down but your hair isn't co-operating with you to have it fully all down. It's also a perfect hairstyle for people who like to have their hair up in a ponytail or bun because they want to keep their hair out of their face. The half up is a lot cuter than a bun or ponytail, in my opinion.

 Alright that's all the outfits I've got for y'all in this post.

See you next time!
