End of Summer Shopping

Mood: Nervous
Playing: Summer Love-We the Kings
I've been shopping quite a bit this summer. I'm replacing all the clothing I either outgrew or they're completely worn out. I had all my camisoles go from being below the hips to being midriffs. I've had a lot of my clothing for 3-4 years, so they're outdated or too small. I have this problem, where I keep telling myself that I can still squeeze into the shirt, even though I can't, so I hold onto it for awhile longer.
The white shirt from Haleiwa Hawaii is a gift from my friend, Alicia. She brought it back from Hawaii for me. It's so soft and cuddly and cute! The blue tofu pillow shirt is from this random Japanese store and it was pretty cheap for a super soft shirt. Both of these shirts are pretty darn soft, now that I think about it.
The sailor shirt looked navy in the shop, but as soon as I brought it out at home, I realized it was black. Stupid lighting in the store tricked me...Oh well, it's still cute right? I just can't pair it up with the skirt I bought last year. Any suggestions for what to wear with it? I'm thinking a red skirt or shorts...I can try white instead of red, but red seems like more fun. White is easier to wear with other things, though. The sweater was originally $20, but I got 10% off because there was a small makeup stain on the back. I'm glad that my mum noticed the little stain...I got it because it looks like a Sweet Lolita sweater, but it still looks wearable without the whole Lolita outfit.
I went shopping at American Apparel because I heard it was going out of business. All the clothing fit me awkwardly, but they had Usamimis and cute hair bows! I also bought new camisoles and jeans at Pac Sun, but I won't be posting pictures of those because it's nothing exciting. On the bright side, I can finally fit into the extremely skinny jeans instead of just super skinny jeans! Have you bought anything exciting this summer? Like a panini press for instance?

  21. Vi-Actually, I live in the USA! They're stuff is pretty expensive, but some things are reasonably priced! I mostly checked it out because I heard they were having financial problems.
