New Clothes!

I finally got to go shopping! Armed with a $200 budget, my boyfriend and I hit the mall on Tuesday. The trip had started because I needed new shoes, though I think I went a little overboard. No buyers remorse, since I love everything that I got, just that sensation of 'oh god, what did I just do?' after a life of growing up with little money.

It did offer a bit of good feeling, a boost that I've needed after all of the hospital bills that have come in. I just have to keep telling myself that I will handle it in my own time, and that everything will be ok :)

The day was rather successful in terms of clothes.

First stop was Hot Topic. And, because I'm a massive dork, I absolutely had to have this shirt. I wore it today and got many compliments ^.^

Don't mind the backwards tie - I just noticed that it was backwards XD

Hot Topic - $22.50

Next stop was Wet Seal. I haven't shopped in a Wet Seal since I was a teenager. The styles have definitely changed! I wasn't fond of the staff - they need to understand when to stop trying to up-sell.

On the up side, I did find some great sales.

Simple cardigan, on sale for $10!

Also on sale for $10! I couldn't believe it. I can't remember the price of the tank top underneath, but they have a deal on now where you can get five tank tops for $20. Pretty decent deal!

Unfortunately, this wasn't on sale. It was $22.50. More than I wanted to pay, since I was on a budget, but I couldn't resist it. I adore all of the new panda goodies that are coming out.

I also picked up two pairs of jeans at American Eagle, but I'm leaving out those photos since they are just jeans, nothing really exciting.

I managed to find a pair of shoes, even though I'm not sure if I am 100% pleased with them. They are the classic Chuck Taylors in black and white. I wore them today, and I regret it. My feet hurt so bad. I thought about going outside and jumping in a puddle to get them wet, or even dipping my feet into the tub to get the shoes wet so they form to my feet. I'm still not sure if I am going to do that.


Before we left, my boyfriend picked me up some new jewelry <3

Gun earrings

I am not fully in love with these, though I'm going to modify them. I don't like the barbels. I am going to pull those out and see if I can find some tapers of some sort to thread through, or see if I can find something suitable at Ink Well, our local tattoo shop.

Last, but not least, I got a hookah!

Since I work in a tobacco shop, I thought this would be a fun piece to wear to work.


I can't wait to wear my new shirts to work, especially the panda!
