Hot Summer-time Haul

So I have had shopping fever ever since I started my job at the mall this month. But since I just got married, there wasn't any money to spare for splurging really. Then my lovely parents came to visit me with my birthday money and now I have new stuffs! My goal for the shopping was to try and buy more "adult" pieces so people would stop mistaking me for a teenager. I get some pretty crazy looks when I say I'm 22. My style doesn't exactly help all the much so I wanted to get something different.

Turns out I love what I love though and ended up buying the same kind of clothes I pretty much already have. I did, however, end up buying collared shirts I have been lusting after for awhile. I wanted to get something with a sweet peter pan neckline and something that had some edgy-ness to it like the studded collar. But I paired them both with skirts in the store resulting in a very school-girl esque look. Oh well, I like it and that is all that matters. If you can't tell by the picture, the black skirt is pleathery but it's not the sticky kind. I figure it might badass-up my wardrobe a little bit. (Everything in the first picture is from Forever-21.)

I journeyed on to pick up some basics from Aerie (where I work). Everyday I work, I would just stare at those two scarves while imagining myself wearing them. Then they went on sale, so I snatched those babys up! What is even cooler about them than the prints, is that they are infinity scarves. I am such a sucker for an infinity scarf. But yeah...then there are the bralettes (which I realize might be awkward that I took a picture of them). I normally don't buy anything but normal bras, but it is really freaking hot this summer and the bralettes are a nice thin material that breathes easy. Plus they can be worn under shirts or dresses where a normal bra might show and they will still look classy- not trashy. They are really soft feeling, too. I plan to pick up more colors once I get some expendable income.

Last, I went to American Eagle. I am not generally big on buying clothes from there because they are a little steeper than I want to pay, but since I work at Aerie I get a 40% discount at AE, too! So exciting! I found this lovely little black and white cropped top and had to have it. I have seen a ton of fashion bloggers/vloggers with this type of scooped back crop top and I just had to have one. I thought it might make me look a little older than sixteen, unless its the case where someone sees me wearing a crop top and starts to wonder who let their teenager out of the house wearing that. But whatever. And the headband was just something random I picked up. It has tiny little black hearts on it and looks great when I have my hair up.

So that is my haul. Thanks for reading! Stay tuned, I will be putting a post up on my June favorites within the next week!
