I wore a simple Adidas black and white tee, some high-rise shorts, and my Birks! This outfit probably is the definition of my style and how laid back I love to dress sometimes. It's comfy and casual.

I love exploring the city and I hope college will allow me to keep on discovering new things about it and I am ready to see how living downtown will immerse me more into the urban culture. Every city is unique and different in its own way. This festival is one of many I plan on attending in the future. What do you love about your city? 

I know it's not the end of the year yet, but since it's almost the beginning of a new adventure and a new year for me, I thought it was most appropriate to get a new planner for my freshman year of college. I will be starting in a little over a month and I am so anxious and ready to begin a new chapter. With that, comes much responsibility, independence, work, fun, and decision making for my future life. Don't take your opportunities post high school for granted--I learned that the hard way after waiting a year to hear back from my first choice school. I got in and am going (long and stressed over), but there's still a lot more to it than just the acceptance. 

In college, I intend on using this sucker every day. Right now I have been using a weekly sticky note calendar to sort my summer out, so I at least know what day of the week it is. During the school year though, I feel like I can get the most out of my day if I have a plan or some to-dos to keep me occupied. I'm gonna have so much free time in college, if you can believe it. 

I want to take advantage of my college experience as much as possible (more than high school). You only go to college once in your life and if it's going to go by as fast as high school did then I need to make the most of it. I've been so excited about college and who I will meet, what I'll learn, the inevitable mistakes I will make, and the things I will prove I can be capable of. I have already finished my dorm shopping and I think I will be a Target back-to-school ad, but that's totally fine with me because Target rocks. A Tour will be posted, so stay tuned. 

I am all about finding good deals, so when I heard that Old Navy was having a Bogo sale, I had to check it out. Amidst the clearance racks and all, I didn't find many things I really wanted, but I did score a couple items that I really love.

I also made the $1 flip flop sale which is always something my aunt and I look forward to because they have the best multi colored flip flops for the summer. 

The first thing I found was this very minimal bracelet that came in a pack of three with gold, silver, and gunmetal. I love minimalistic jewelry and I gave the other ones to my friends. Three were only about three dollars and I was happy with this buy because I normally don't pick out any jewelry when I'm shopping.

The next thing I really fell in love with was this Fringe Hemmed Tank that also came in black and orange. I think fringe is totally back in style and is so subtle and chic on this summery top. 

I stray away from white, but just couldn't because of the cute detailing. I bought this for ten bucks and have worn it way too many times already. It's a staple in any women's wardrobe. You can tuck it into some festival shorts or layer it with a patterned cardigan.
