School Supplies

My only motivation for going back to school was my first-day-of-school outfit. I mean really, hasn't that always been one of the most important outfit days ever? That's when you look your spiffiest and your parents take pictures of you with your backpack and lunch box. A crucial ensemble right?

Crucial usually means pricey. Not just pricey though. Excruciatingly expensive to the point where you settle for the lame basics in multiple colors from K-mart for the one flashy outfit from the mall.
WEAKSAUCE.

Why settle for a not so fabulous wardrobe for the rest of the year? You may not know this, but there is more than likely a Good Will or Salvation Army beckoning you to check out the grooviest stuff that for some reason people leave behind. Don't settle for the multiples. Score the one of a kind swag for some change, pocket lint, and a little well spent time.

I'm back in school already, and this is what I got so far:
Lowepro bag studded with vintage pins, thrifted Old Navy shorts from the Sweet Swap (fave!), Wal*mart shirt, vintage jacket from the swap



The outfits can only get better from there, if you're willing to hunt for the flyest clothes and the lowest price.

Thrifted Good Will blazer, target clearance hoops, dress from the super groovy Purple Lizard, Express clearance sandals

Let the games begin!
