Spring Trends for Tops!

Today was incredibly tiring! I spent majority of my day traveling and unpacking. I woke up early to head to school and then I spent a lot of time settling back into my dorm. I tried to do homework but it was just impossible. I spent time catching up with people and hanging out. Tomorrow is going to be a slap to the face because it'll be the first day back after spring break. I am absolutely not looking forward to it. This week is already a bad week as it is with scheduling appointments on top of tests and midterms.

Anyways! With the warm weather slowly but surely approaching it's time to update our wardrobes! There are three styles I'm looking into this spring and summer. I love the tailored look so collars are always a plus. I love this black and white patterned tank with gold button detailing with a collar. It's perfect in the professional world in the summer time and also the perfect top to make casual pants a bit more dressy! I also  try not to neglect simple, graphic tee's. Although it is senseless to buy these shirts at Forever 21 because you can definitely get it for cheaper at your local thrift store and make it to how you like it. Last summer I was very into coral tops but this summer I'm attracted to mint hues more. I can't wait for the warm weather so I can start wearing these babies!

On Trend for Spring!

I spent my day laying in bed, reading on my Kindle, eating, and trying to be productive. I woke up to more snow and rain but fortunately, by the end of the day, the sun came out to say hello. I watched the PLL finale with Alexa which seemed promising at first but I was fairly disappointed by the end of it. The episode absolutely did not reveal anything at all! It only provided more questions and I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SERIES TO END. Ok, I love the show and all but I cannot agree more that the show is needs to come to a close. The plot is getting to elaborate and clearly, there is no continuity anymore but it still stands because it is addicting and most of the audience is comprised of preteens. I just need to find out who A is already...

Anyways, a trend I'm delving into for this spring are crop tops and high waisted shorts. Ok, before I get any weird looks from people who know me wearing this outfit, let me explain. High waisted shorts are meant for people who naturally have a longer torso than legs. Much like high low skirts and high waisted skirts, it gives the illusion of people with long torsos have short ones and makes it look like they are taller and have long legs. However, this does not mean people who have short torsos and long legs mean they cannot wear these.  I have a short torso and long legs so, for me, this outfit does not show my midriff. The crop top and shorts actually overlap, providing me no actual benefit other than just a cute outfit to wear. So if you are iffy about this trend, give it a go. It might give you a taller silhouette or cooling outfit for the summer.

Bad shopping day

I woke up around 11 today and headed off to the mall with my parents. I've been dying to get a good shopping haul but I just didn't find anything I liked today. Either the sales weren't good enough or I just didn't like what was on the rack. It was weird. But I did buy a couple bows at Forever 21 today. The pink one is leather material and the black one is made out of sequins. I usually don't wear barrettes, clips, or anything fancy in my hair but I figured they were cute so I want to try them out. What I do wear in my hair though, are hair ties and bobby pins. I've been meaning to buy a pack of black small elastics but I haven't been able to find them until I looked at Shop Rite. Black small elastics are easily hidden and are hardly noticeable in braids. The hair ties I've been using are way too thick and aren't bobby pin friendly.

An update on my current read Divergent. I can definitely see why people compare the novel to The Hunger Games. It definitely has the same feel. I'm interested in how the movies will be made and what they will look like. I heard that Shailene Woodley will be the main character. I don't know how I feel about that. I've only seen her in the first couple seasons of The Secret Life of the American Teenager and she seems pretty placid. But then again maybe I can blame the story plot of the series because I got bored and tired of it as soon as she had her baby. I've also heard Woodley has made great strides in her acting career. I guess I'll just wait until the rest of the cast is figured out and make my judgments then.
